The department offers various Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering programmes.

The Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering department has qualified faculty members.

At the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Research is an integral part of academic activity carried out within undergraduate and post-graduate programmes. Research has always been emphasized and encouraged by faculty and students to innovate quality research in an emerging area.

The Department is committed to maintaining the highest standards of rigor and Integrity in the conduct of its research.

The Department’s research strategy and review committee is responsible for establishing and reviewing policy guidelines for the proper conduct of research, including regularly reviewing and updating this code to ensure it takes into account current guidelines and relevant suggestions.

The faculty, students, and collaborators all share in the responsibility for promoting and verifying good practice and creating an ethos of professionalism and integrity in the Department’s research culture.

The research philosophy is to progress from inter-departmental collaboration to inter-institutional partnerships at national and international levels. The scope and scale of research have substantially evolved from the era of student projects to interdisciplinary research programmes at the state and national levels.

The main objective of promoting research is to strengthen teaching, learning & independent thinking and eventually contribute to the welfare of society – a process vital and important in the shaping of an academic institution.
