They are going to engineers who have picked a lane, whether that is VLSI, power electronics, or MEP BIM, and built deep, tool-specific expertise in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salaries genuinely do range from \u20b93.5 LPA for freshers to \u20b960+ LPA for senior specialists in high-demand fields, and the gap between those numbers comes down to specialisation, certifications and where you&#8217;re willing to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are early in your career, the smartest move is choosing a specialisation now rather than staying broad. That is what determines whether you are earning the field average or well above it five years from now.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"fr-table-selection-hover\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;
