The embryonic formation of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was in the year 2009 with the introduction of an undergraduate B.Tech. course. Situated amidst lush green campus with plantations, the Department over the time has grown in several dimensions and provides a magnetic ambience in teaching and learning. The Department also offers full time M.Tech course M.TECH. in Electronics & Communication Engineering since 2013. Apart from this we are running B.Voc. course in Electronic Manufacturing Services since 2018. All the programs are affiliated to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad university of Technology,West Bengal (formerly known as West Bengal University of Technology) and approved by AICTE.

The department is well equipped with sophisticated laboratories in the areas of VLSI, Signal Processing, Microwave, Antenna and Wireless Communication. The faculties are engaged in research in diverse topics focusing on Telecommunication, Antenna and Microwave, Microelectronics and VLSI, Signal and Image processing. The research strength has been reflected by quality publications of the Department. Faculties of the Department are involved in outreach activities by organizing several short term courses, workshops. The Department is committed to impart quality education at undergraduate as well as postgraduate level and promulgate quality research in diverse fields of application in electronics engineering.

Overview

• Electronics and communication is a bridge course between software and hardware engineering. The students of Electronics and communication Engineering (ECE) get explored with the domain of modern telecommunication systems, fabrication of embedded system, mobile communication system, high frequency RF transmission etc. Every year highest number of students is placed from ECE department in different domains.
• Engineering fields of all aspects are incomplete without Electronics. ECE is basically a Research & Development(R&D) oriented branch. Students will have maximum amount of opportunities while pursuing their Masters.
• ECE students have the opportunity to opt for Communication Engineering, VLSI, Microwave Engineering, Optical Communication, Wireless and Mobile communication, embedded system, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology etc. as their M.Tech course (highest number of options for Master degree).

Introduction to the course

Electronics & Communication Engineering deals with the electronic devices, circuits, communication equipments like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC). It also deals with basic electronics, analog and digital transmission & reception of data, voice and video (Example AM, FM, DTH), microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression. It aims to deepen the knowledge and skills of the students on the basic concepts and theories that will equip them in their professional work involving analysis, systems implementation, operation, production, and maintenance of the various applications in the field of Electronics and Communications Engineering.

Learning outcomes for Electronics & Communication Engineering students:
