Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering

Electronics and Communication Engineering is an engineering discipline involved design, development, manufacture and deployment of Electronic and Communication systems. It deals with electronic devices, circuits, communication equipment like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC), analog and digital transmission and reception of data, voice and video, microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression. Signal and Image processing, Communication Technologies, Embedded Systems, VLSI Systems are some of the specialized areas available in electronics for further study.

In this 21st century, every day we are dealing with electronic circuits and devices in some of the other forms because gadgets, home appliances, computers, transport systems, cell phones, cameras, TV, etc. all have electronic components and devices. Today’s world of electronics has made deep inroads in several areas, such as healthcare, medical diagnosis, automobiles, industries, electronics projects etc. and convinced everyone that without electronics, it is really impossible to work. The rapid development that is taking place the world over in new technology areas like IoT, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics have placed greater demand for electronics and communication engineers in days to come.

The Electronics & Communication Engineering Department was established in the year of 2010. The department produces great results and most of the students are got placed in leading companies. The Department is equipped with most modern lab facilities, computer centre, departmental library, classrooms with modern teaching aids etc. The laboratories include the Electronic Devices & Circuits Lab, Analog Electronic Circuits, Digital & Integrated Circuits Labs, Communication, Fiber Optic & Microwave Engineering Labs, Signal Processing & Controls Lab, and Microprocessor & Microcontroller Lab.
