Electronics & Communication

Department Of Electronics and Communication Engineering

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is the backbone of contemporary communication systems and stands as the cornerstone of modern communication systems, governing myriad aspects in the contemporary era. It is governing anything to everything in the current era. The telecom sector is growing at a very fast rate, solidifying ECE as an essential branch of engineering for sustainability and progress. The evolving technologies: Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), Augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), AI/ML, haptics, edge offloading, edge computing, nano scale manufacturing, fabrication and the like, heavily rely on the ECE branch of engineering. From the design to fabrication of  components/electronic devices, to their communication, everything lies under the curriculum of the ECE programs.

Considering the timely necessity of this branch of engineering, the Department of Electronics and Communication offers a number of programs.

The department focuses on building up of a collaborative atmosphere, encouraging a free interchange of ideas so that students can attain their highest potential. It also offers surplus opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, research and industry-academia collaboration. The curriculum has been designed keeping in mind all these aspects of academics and research. This aids an overall development of the students.

The Department celebrates both faculty and student achievements, recognizing excellence in academia and beyond. The students undergo a transformative academic journey, equipping them with the skills and experiences necessary to excel in diverse roles.
