How this year's program is different from previous Smartphone Design Training Program? - Considering the trainees are all on-job training, to better accommodate their timing on their jobs, family and training, this year we divided the training program in 2 parts: first part (long duration) in India on weekdays (mostly Fridays), to allow the participants to continue their work in the offices and balance their family life as well after the training classes. The second part will be in Taiwan for 3 weeks. - More hands-on training than last year's program. - More focused skills by dividing into 3 specialized modules namely- RF, Multimedia and System. How many candidates will be selected for the program? About 50 professionals, who qualify the above listed criteria, will be selected from key handset makers across the country to take part in the training program. What is the criteria of candidate selection? Candidates will be selected basis: 1. Years of work experience in Electronics or Telecommunications domain. 2. Profile relevance with the training program. Candidate selection committee (MediaTek, NIELIT & ICA) reserves the final decision of the qualified participant selection. ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/840382713/?guid=ON&script=0) ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/824639851/?guid=ON&script=0)
