OVERVIEW

 

The curriculum of Electronics and communication Engineering has been designed to match with the standard curriculum of all leading universities of the country. The curriculum is divided into different levels of skill for the students throughout the 4 years of BTech course. The first year includes Basic Science, Basic Engineering and Mathematics courses, second year includes foundation courses of E&C, third year includes applied courses of E&C and 4th year includes diversified courses (in the form of electives) to cater to the needs of the interest of the students as well as help students to apply the skills of applied and basic science and mathematics for pursuing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary courses. In addition to the course work in 4th year, one full semester (8th semester) is dedicated for a major project that the students undertake in an industry or research organization for exposing them to industrial/R&D culture of the country. This exposure has the objective of producing industry and R&D ready graduates.
