Department of Electronics Engineering

🏆 Ranked #1 in the list of Engineering Colleges for "Best Value for Money" (Govt.) as per India Today 2024 Ranking Survey.

The Department of Electronics Engineering was established in 1988. It has made significant progress since its inception and attained the status of a pioneering Department particularly in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology and in general in the University. It is the only department in the Faculty of Engineering & Technology to have a coveted DSA-I (Department of Special Assistance) status from the UGC.

This DSA status was obtained in a record time of only ten years (after DRS-I and DRS-II) instead of fifteen years (after DRS-III), primarily on the basis of the quality of research publications in IEEE Transactions and other high-impact journals. The department is looking forward to achieving the status of a Centre of Excellence in the near future. It has well-qualified faculty with many PhDs from abroad and premier institutes of the country, with a combined h-index of approximately 55.

The Department offers two undergraduate programmes: B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering and B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology). It also offers four postgraduate programmes in Wireless Networks, Electronic Circuits and Systems Design, Communication and Signal Processing, and VLSI and Embedded Systems.

The subjects offered at both UG and PG levels cover almost all emerging and significant areas including Analog & Digital Electronics, Microelectronics, VLSI Design & Technology, Electronic Instrumentation, Control Systems, Analog & Digital Communications, Microwave Engineering, Radio, Television, Radar Systems, Optical Communication, Satellite Communication, Mobile Communication, Computer Communication Networks, Image Processing and Signal Processing. Well-equipped laboratories supplement these academic programmes.

B.Tech. (Electronics Engineering), M.Tech. (Communication and Information Systems) and M.Tech. (Electronic Circuits and Systems Design) programmes of the department have been accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for five years.
