I have a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication.
I am currently working as Software Engineer in an MNC.
I have an experience of 2.7 years in my first company and 4+ years in my second company.
The designations were Engineer-Design & Development, Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer etc.
I am trying to apply for express entry.Could someone help me with the following queries :
1) My education is in Electronics and Communication.But I am into the software Industry.
Is this a problem ?
2) On creating Express Entry profile, I selected Field of Study as "Computing/Information Technology" as the help said "Choose the closest option".
Is this correct ?
3) I am confused as which NOC to apply - 2173 or 2174.Looks more like 2174, but my job title is Software Engineer.
Please help in choosing the right NOC.
