Strengths:
- Highly dedicated and motivated faculty members
- The curriculum design is perfect blend of Electronics, Communication and Computing Technologies
- The department regularly gets handful amount of funding from AICTE, UGC and State Government by way of various research and other projects
- Guidance and support from Alumni
- Research publication by faculty members
- Well-equipped labs for UG, PG and Research Scholars
Weaknesses:
- Departmental maintenance: Most of the minor problems related to maintenance and installations are handled in department itself. These problems are solved by laboratory assistants and department students. For major problems such as repairing of PC motherboard, trainer kits, UPS controller, testing and measurement equipment, department does not have maintenance and repair facility. Some of the equipments are obsolete; hence need to be replaced by new ones.
- Lack of adequate Space for laboratory and classrooms: The department intake is of 120 students. It is difficult to manage classes, examinations and practices in the space allotted to the department.
- Faculty shortage: Presently, faculty strength of department is six. However, department activities are carried out by appointing faculty on contract basis and also by appointing teaching assistants.
Opportunities:
- The graduates from this discipline have very good job opportunities in Embedded Systems, IoT, Signal Processing, RF Communication, VLSI technologies, Mobile Communication and in Software Engineering.
- Every year many of our students are getting placed in industries like Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, Reliance, etc.
Challenges:
- Managing all departmental activities with the help of available faculty members.
- Recruitment of qualified faculty members having Ph. D. qualification.
- Attracting creamy students for UG, PG and Ph. D programmes.
