Welcome Message

Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering .

I am delighted to share with you, through this website, the continuous progress and achievements of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Our department is dedicated to providing quality education through experienced faculty, well-equipped laboratories, and a strong focus on practical learning and research. In addition to smart classrooms with Wi-Fi facilities, students are guided and motivated to gain practical exposure through laboratory experiments and innovative projects.
The Department conducts various workshops, skill development programs and invited talks by industry experts and alumni in collaboration with industries for the benefit of faculty and students. Student projects are carried out under the guidance of department faculty and industrial trainers. Industrial visits are regularly organized by the department. Students are also encouraged to participate in various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
The Department has consistently shown outstanding performance by obtaining excellent results. Our department students are placed in various core electrical companies and software industries and a few of them are entrepreneurs. With the support of the management, we prepare students to work in a global multicultural environment.
