  Welcome to CE, @#-Link-Snipped-#. Glad to have you with us on CrazyEngineers. You do have an 'odd' situation; but it doesn't look like difficult one to address. Knowing what you want to do is a great step and you can definitely get into job that you love to do.
  
  I'd recommend not quitting your current job until you've secured admission to the most desired course and institute (if it matters). It'd help if you could enquire about the jobs that have been offered to candidates who've successfully been through the course. I'd check & recheck institutes track record before actually deciding on quitting job. Best - why not simply write to the company that you'd like to join once you've successfully done the course?
  
  Get in touch with people working in your dream companies via LinkedIn and put your case in front of them. I'd target recruitment heads and project managers of the desired company and interact with them. You'll be surprised to see how helpful people turn out to be.
  
  There are alternate ways as well. Have you considered courses that you can take part time? I'm not sure if Pune's traffic will allow you time to do that; but if that's an option, I'd definitely exercise it. Be doubly sure that you'll get the job you really want to do once you've been through all the steps.
  
  Finally, make sure that you turn your Infosys experience to your advantage. Convince the interviewer that since you've left your previous job for the love of the embedded domain; you will do very well at the job. Any recruiter would definitely love a candidate who's switched domain to work in the field he/she loves. Wishing you all the best and hope you get your dream job.

  You're doing unconventional thing and that'd need an unconventional approach. Why not connect with someone in KPIT via LinkedIn and ask for a personal appointment? I'd recommend setting up an appointment with the HR or someone really senior in the organisation to explain your case and ask for guidance?
