Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering

The Electronics & Communication Engineering Department was started in the year 2005 for imparting quality technical education. With an academic legacy that spans for about 2 decades, the department now offers one Doctoral program (Ph.D in Electronics Engineering), one PG program (M.Tech in Embedded System Technologies), one UG program (B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering with 2 Specializations).

Why Electronics and Communication Engineering?

One of the most common questions that arise among the minds of students who wish to study engineering is ‘why to choose Electronics and Communication Engineering, among other options that are available’?. There are many statistics that are obtained from both industry and other governmental organizations that substantially advocate for this division of engineering.

We can’t imagine the world without the existence of Electronics gadgets. At the same time, it is also challenging to find the functioning of any other domain area without the involvement of these Electronics gadgets. Every year the job openings for ECE graduates grow significantly by 7% from 2016 to 2026. During the last few years, this branch of engineering has seen steady growth among other disciplines. The major driving force for the present day Information Technology revolution is the development in Electronics and Communication Engineering. This domain has now revolutionized other areas like health care, instrumentation, automation, remote sensing, signal processing and many more. By 2022, the Electronics & Communication sector in India is expected to catch USD 29 Billion consumer market. Telecommunication, industrial, and aerospace & defense, the top three market of VLSI Industry that are expected to grow to 7.23 Billion USD by 2022. This sector contributes significantly to the economy of most of the countries with much anticipated 5G technology to become widespread among public across the globe very soon.

Scope of Electronics and Communication Engineering

Electronics and Communication Engineering always plays a significant and crucial role in the development of current digital technology. Electronics and Communication Engineering is an applied form of science that deals with principles and practical aspects related to design and development of various everyday devices like smartphones, Smart LED Televisions, Projectors, High-Resolution Cameras, Smart Wrist Watches, Musical Instruments, Laptops, Tablet PCs, Smart Speakers, machine robots etc. The discipline concerns with electronics devices and software interfaces. Electronics and Communication engineers engage in research, design, development and maintenance of equipments, devices and systems involved in the field of communication. The ECE graduates are always needed in all Multinational Corporations (MNCs), besides considering the regular job openings from governmental departments, industry corporations, government research organizations, and Armed forces.

Career Prospects

The students graduated from our department have become successful professional engineers working for both core and software companies such as Intel, Samsung, Maxim Integrated, AMD, Global Foundaries, Deloitte, Wipro, Accenture, Mindtree, TCS, etc.

Some of them are serving in government organizations and few of them have become successful entrepreneurs. Our students are pursuing higher education like MTech, MS, MBA and PhD in various universities in India and abroad.
