About The Department
Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering was established in 1964 to offer Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics & Communication and Master of Engineering degrees in (a) Advanced Electronics and (b) Applied Electronics & Servomechanisms. In 1968, the postgraduate programme was restructured with specializations in the areas of Communication Systems, Control and guidance, Microwaves and Radar, and Solid State Electronics. Two new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Computer Science and Technology were started in the year 1982. Keeping in view the activities of the Department, the name was changed to Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering. In January 2013, a separate Department of Computer Science and Engineering was carved out, and the department was again renamed as Electronics and Communication Engineering. At present, the department has 40 full-time faculty members and offers one B. Tech. program in Electronics & Communication Engineering and five full-time M. Tech. programs viz. M. Tech. in Microelectronics & VLSI (MeV), Communication Systems, RF & Microwaves (RFM) Engineering, THz Communication & Sensing (TCS), and Semiconductor Technology. The Department is also offering a separate M.Tech program specially designed for professionals working in the area of VLSI.
