Message from the Head of Department:

This gives me incalculable happiness present Annual Report of Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering for academic year 2019-2020.

To meet the growing demand of Electronics Engineers in the Government and private sectors, Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering is taking best efforts by producing highly trained and capable engineers, who can take up the challenges of the real world.

The two key objectives of the department are to maintain high academic standards and to give due weightage to practical work. The department has a fine blend of renowned as well as young and dynamic personalities as faculty, who are involved in imparting quality education. The faculty strives not only to foster but also to encourage a teaching methodology which includes both practical and theoretical approaches as well. This orientation has led to successful projects and training. The Department is wide open to innovative ideas, methodologies to establish itself as the most sought excellent learning center in this part of the state.

The lab facilities are being upgraded from time to time and provide adequate opportunities for the students to learn and innovate. The Department is conducting special classes for preparation of GATE examinations. The Department also organizes interactive lectures every week by inviting Alumni and Technocrats from industries to guide students and to make them aware about needs of outside world, this helps students in their overall development. Department also regularly organizes training programmes, workshops, exhibition, Idea competition, conference and soft skills development programmes, which helps them to understand the theoretical aspects and also do the value additions in them. Department is regularly receiving sizable amount of grants from AICTE, UGC, TEQIP, RUSA and other Government agencies for various research projects.

Departmental students association has been established by the students for the extracurricular activities. This association conducts various technical and cultural events regularly. “Engineers are the creators of the new world”, going with these lines the Department has a fully equipped Project lab to encourage the students to show their creativity. Educational tours and industrial visits are regularly organized to enhance the practical knowledge of the students with the recent technologies used in the industry.

Laboratory Expenditure (Recurring) :

Department have a student association named ‘Telecommunication and Electronics Engineering Students’ Association (TEESA)’

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.
