The Electronics and Communications Department commenced in the year 2003 and now runs one undergraduate, one postgraduate program (M. Tech in ECE), Ph. D. program under JIS University/MAKAUT and also one 3 years diploma program affiliated by WBSCTE. The programs offered by the department are the most sought after branch in Engineering by top WBJEE rank holders and other aspirants from across the country. All the programs are accredited by NAAC the undergraduate program is accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) which is compulsorily outcome based, planned to meet the Industry needs and also Research organization. The program contents are upgraded on annual basis with involvement from industry experts, academia and reputed research institutions.
Experienced faculty members all of whom are engineering postgraduates and most of them with PhDs as well, support three core specializations (VLSI & Microelectronics, Communication, Image processing & Embedded system) in the Department.80% faculty of the department holds doctorate degree.
The curriculum includes a strong self-study component and mini projects at all levels so as to develop the students’ independent analytical abilities. Opportunity for innovation and incubation is provided at this stage to successful projects by the institute for industrial standards. The department offers financial support to its young faculty for cutting edge research and also encourages them to undertake sponsored research from industry and government agencies.
Department provides healthy environment to students and faculties to carry out inter department collaborative research in area like robotics, human computer interface, SMART sensor etc. Software Simulation environment (MATLAB, Ansoft HFSS, ORIGIN Tanner EDA Tools, FPGA, Intellisuite, COMSOL, VISSIM etc.) and state of the art are available.
The department has received 6 UGC-MRPS grant. The principal Investigator of a DST-FIST project grant is from this department. 2 Laboratories of the department has received AICTE- MODROB for modernization of the laboratories. The department frequently organises National/International level conferences like AICTE sponsored ,in technical collaboration with IEEE etc. The department also organised National conference sponsored by SERB , GOI. Normally 3 seminars per semester are organised. Atleast 6 workshops by industry experts are conducted in the department for hands on experience of the students. Atleast 4 industry visits are organised per year.
Having undergone such a robust academic program under the supervision of highest quality faculty members, all passing out students of the department are capable of envisage, planning and developing big projects of commercial and research interests in their respective field of expertise. We have our eminent alumnus all over the world contributing to the advancement of the society. We strive to train and empower our students who will make the world a better place by using power of engineering principles, techniques and systems.
