Electronics & Communication Engineering -> Overview

The department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was incepted in the year 1967 with an undergraduate program in Electronics and Communication Engineering. Initially program had an intake of 60 students and presently 150 students graduate every year. The long journey of 50 years has seen satisfactory contributions to the society, nation and world. The alumni of this department has strong global presence making their alma mater proud in every sector they represent. Department has started its PG program in the year 2012 in the specialization of VLSI design and Embedded systems. Equipped with qualified and dedicated faculty department has focus on VLSI design, Embedded systems and Image processing. The quality of teaching and training has yielded high growth rate of placement at various organizations. Large number of candidates pursuing research programs (M.Sc/Ph D) is a true testimonial to the research potential of the department. The Department is recognized as Research Centre by V T U and Mysore University offers part time and full time Ph.D. Programs.
