Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), established in the academic year 1985–86 with an initial intake of 60 students, has steadily evolved into a Centre of Academic Excellence and Research innovation. Responding to the growing demand for quality Engineering education, the sanctioned intake was progressively enhanced to 120 in 2000–01, 180 in 2012–13, and further expanded to 240 in 2024–25.
The Department has been continuously accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) since April 2002 for its UG programme, underscoring its sustained commitment to academic quality, outcome-based education, and continuous improvement.
In addition to the undergraduate programme, the department has been offering a postgraduate programme in Communication Systems since 2002–03. It is also recognized as an approved Research Centre by Anna University, Chennai, with 36 scholars having successfully completed their PhD programmes and 45 scholars currently pursuing doctoral research, reflecting a vibrant and productive research ecosystem.
Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, capital-intensive hardware, and industry-standard simulation software, the department provides a robust environment for learning, research, and innovation. The department consistently maintains a strong placement record and is supported by industry collaborations and active Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). These partnerships facilitate student internships, industrial training, industry- oriented skill development, collaborative projects, and recruitment opportunities.
