Electricians will make default provisions / switch boards etc as per general standard.
However, you can make sure they are placed as per your requirement / electrical drawings:

Proper Provision is made for Lights, Fans,
Kitchen appliances (Mixer/Grinder/microwave/water purifier/chimney etc)
TV cable/internet / phone lines -
Door bell, Front gate/board lights
In room, study/computer table points
Security systems (if it is in ur plan) - cctv camera etc.
Bathrooms - Light, mirror light, exhaust fan, Geyzer, also for hair drier kind of equipments etc.
Make sure they put switch modules (8M/6M/4Module etc) appropriately in right places. - Its ok if some extra slots are left blank. But if not planned properly, you may end up buying too many dummy plates/switches, sockets etc. which will increase cost.

Pl check Switch board heights:
Normal lights - 4.5ft or 3ft : 2.5 to 3ft height is recently being adopted
Bed switches / computer table - less than 2ft
Fridge/washing machine - 6ft
Also put some sockets at lower levels in kitchen (less than 2ft)

Also, in future robotic vacuum cleaners will be popular which require charging points/docking station at 1 feet level.
