Department of ECE, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Kolkata

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 Industry needs and Research organization requirements.

Experienced faculty members — all of whom are engineering postgraduates and most with PhDs — support three core specializations: VLSI & Microelectronics, Communication, Image processing & Embedded System. 80% of the faculty hold doctorate degrees.

The department offers financial support to its young faculty for cutting edge research and encourages them to undertake sponsored research from industry and government agencies. The department has received 6 UGC-MRPS grants. The principal Investigator of a DST-FIST project grant is from this department.

Software Simulation environment (MATLAB, Ansoft HFSS, ORIGIN, Tanner EDA Tools, FPGA, Intellisuite, COMSOL, VISSIM etc.) and state-of-the-art facilities are available to support advanced postgraduate research and learning.
