INTRODUCTION
Department of Electronics and Communication was established in the year 1999 for imparting a state-of the- art education, training and research in the field of Electronics and Communication and allied areas. The department offers a Bachelor's program with an intake of 120 students per year and Master's programmes in VLSI System Design and Embedded Systems with an intake of 18 students each. The department has a faculty strength of 26 and a student strength of around 550.

The placement record has always been very impressive. Many students hold prestigious posts in MNCs and blue-chip companies. The students are performing well in educational institutes and Corporates in Germany, France, Denmark, Canada and U.S.A. They have won many laurels in national and international forums and have published papers in prestigious journals. The Department of ECE has state-of the- art laboratories in the areas of Advanced Communication, Embedded systems, DSP, Microwave and Optical Communication, VLSI system design. Department is prestigious with the latest synopsys tools to cater various specialisations and is equipped with facilities for measurement, characterisation and synthesis of experimental as well as theoretical results. Further the Department conducts Synopsys University Program for pre-final and final year UG students in collaboration with Synopsys and SEER Academy which in first of its kind in the state.
