Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) was established in the year 2001 with the vision of developing the department as a Centre of Excellence in Research and Development. The main focus is to make the students blossom into meritorious and self-disciplined engineers by smart work.

The department continues to grow at a rapid pace in terms of academic activities, publications, and national and international service and recognition.

Every facet of life today is associated with electronics in one way or other. Either it is computer (Hardware) or Communication (Multimedia) or a control, Electronics serves as the link. The exciting world of electronics needs very good mathematical background and also an analytical mind. The opportunities in electronic field are countless such as Application developers, system engineers, integrators and information technology.

Mobile telephony has shrunk the world. Hazardous situations can be handled safely with electronics with robots for disposing bombs, handling the wastes and precision operations. Subjects on Digital Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Fuzzy logic and Neural Networks, VHDL and VLSI, Digital Communication, Embedded System, Microprocessors, Micro Controllers and Microwaves are studied as part of the course.

Electronic devices and circuits lab, Digital Electronics lab, Microprocessor lab, Electronic system design lab, Optical and Microwave lab, Communication Systems lab cater the needs of UG students.

Industry supported lab, Centre of Excellence for Embedded system, Centre of Excellence for Antennas, Project lab provides a platform for the students and Research scholars to carry out their projects and research work.
