An Overview:
Established in the year
1979 with an intake of 50 seats per year, the
department has taken up the challenge of developing
competent Electrical Engineers capable of facing
the emerging challenges. The department has
produced several hundred Electrical Engineers
some of whom are occupying very senior positions
in their respective organizations both in India
and abroad.
The All India Council of Technical Education
(AICTE), New Delhi approved the program vide
No. F-2-15/B –III/RC – MB/26863
dated 31-03-’94. The department is ISO
Certified and also accredited by NBA.
Focus area
of study:
Electrical & Electronics Engineering: The
department provides in-depth theoretical and
practical knowledge to undergraduate students
in the field of Electrical & Electronics
Engineering.
New plans include starting of a Postgraduate
program as well as a R & D centre to study
various aspects of Power Systems and application
of Information Science in respect of planning,
operation and maintenance of Power Systems.
Why choose Electrical
& Electronics Engineering:
Electrical Engg
is an old but evergreen course in the engineering
stream. An Electrical Engineering graduate has
various options to choose for career growth
viz. he can easily switch over to software field
and can opt for design/fabrication of electronic
hardware and thus can become an entrepreneur
also. He can also work in the Instrumentation
Technology or in Medical Electronics fields.
However there is ample scope for growth as a
core Electrical Engineer.

The department possesses nine well-equipped
laboratories with state of the art of technology.
Besides the department possesses modern lecture
halls, seminar rooms with modern projection
equipment and a computer laboratory with a number
of PCs connected with Internet facilities.
Library:
The Institute possesses a very well equipped
Central Library with large number of books,
magazines & journals. Besides the department
also has its own departmental library that contains
good number of books, Project Reports of previous
years so that students & staff can access
the required books/reports for reference purposes.

The faculty members of the department are highly
qualified and they are exposed to new developments
in the field through Seminars, Workshops and
Conferences. Experts from premier research institutions
and industry inside the country & overseas
interact with faculty and students as part of
the teaching learning experience. Faculty members
are recruited as per the prescribed qualifications
and experience as laid down by AICTE. Many of
the faculty members have 15 to 20 years of teaching/
industry/ R & D experience. Six faculty
