HOD’s Message
The department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (E & TC) was established in the year 1984. This is one of the major departments in the institute, offering two program which are BTech (Electronics and Telecommunication) and MTech (VLSI and Embedded System) with the intake of 120 and 18 respectively. The department also offers Ph.D program. The aim of the department is to provide technical education of the highest standard. The department has always been on a high growth path to keep pace with the ever-increasing importance of the major discipline of study as current technology trends.
The term Electronics and Telecommunication engineering denotes a broad engineering field that covers important subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer electronics, embedded systems, VLSI Design, power electronics, communication systems. Electronics-based products play a vital role in our daily lives, from the sophisticated diagnostic equipment used in modern hospitals to leading-edge fibre optic communications. Computer technology, telecommunications and consumer electronics are advancing at an ever-increasing pace. We offer degree courses teaching stateoftheart technology, allowing our graduates to work at the forefront of all the major areas of Electronics and Telecommunication engineering.
The department has experienced staff members who are serving the college from last 20 to 30 years. The department has excellent stateoftheart laboratory setup. It also operates and maintains an Audio-Video hall of capacity 150 and equipped with 200audio video courses from IITs.

Department also provides guidance related to IPR. Students are encouraged to publish their final year project results. Many students have filed patents under guidance of department faculty members and IPR coordinator. SAEE, Student’s Association of Electronics Engineering, organizes many expert lectures and workshops for students. This organization provides a platform for students to develop organizational skills and to upgrade their technical competence.
The department conducts a national level technical symposium 'Telekinesis' annually for the benefit of the students. The students are taken to industrial visits and experts from industries are invited to interact with students regularly to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Many UG students undergo vocational training in industries like HAL and BSNL. Workshops on preparation for aptitude tests and interviews for placement in MNCs are conducted for final year students. The students passed out in past two decades from this department have been successfully placed in various private sectors and public sector organizations. TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, Siemens, KPIT, L&T Infotech, Rishabh Instruments,Mahindra and Mahindra, CGL, PSPL, Persistent Systems, Perennial Systems, Fin IQ, TietoEvry, Emerson and Bosch are our regular recruiters.
