Head's message

It’s my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The department has experienced and well-qualified faculty members, well-equipped laboratories such as Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, Communication, and Microwave Engineering Laboratory, VLSI Design Laboratory, Microprocessor Laboratory, Embedded System Laboratory, Analog circuits Laboratory, HDL Laboratory etc. The department has been continuously growing since its establishment with an aim of preparing the students to excel in the industry and be successful in higher studies.

Department has organized various co-curricular/extracurricular activities like National conference, Webinar, Invited talks, extempore, debate, technical/non-technical quiz, circuit simulation, junkyard, etc. under Student Forum for the overall development of students.

We are committed to give our students an outcome based education through outcome based teaching and learning process which provides them an environment to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they advance through the programmes. In addition to classroom teaching, the students are guided and motivated to implement practically the principles learned in classrooms through experimentations in the laboratories which help students gain confidence and become skilled engineering professionals.

The alumni of the department are not only excelling in India but also in abroad in the various reputed Companies like Wipro, Nokia, Accenture, Ericson, Videocon, Google, IBM, Capgemini etc. and other hubs of Electronics Technology.
