1. Introduction

The vision of the Department is to be the leading center of excellence in Electronics Engineering (ECE) that advances emerging technologies through transformative education, cutting-edge research, and innovation, contributing to sustainable technological progress and societal development. In alignment with India’s national strategic priorities—including the Bharat 6G vision, the India Semiconductor Mission, Digital India, and Make in India—the department aims to develop highly skilled graduates capable of leading the next generation of electronics-led technological transformation.

The program is built on three key components: strong foundations in mathematics, computing, and engineering sciences; technical skills through selected courses; and general education for overall growth. The undergraduate program is designed for students interested in core and emerging areas of electronics engineering, including micro-nano electronics, communication systems, photonics, embedded systems, RF, and semiconductor technologies. The curriculum establishes a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, electronic devices, circuits, signals, systems, and computing, enabling students to develop analytical thinking, design capability, and advanced problem-solving skills. A strong set of elective courses enables students to gain knowledge in emerging areas of electronics engineering and strengthen domain-specific expertise. The curriculum is organized around four focus areas that reflect emerging national and global priorities:

1. Micro-Nano Electronics & VLSI
2. Communication & Networks
3. RF & Photonics
4. Intelligent and Embedded Computing

These areas build skills in semiconductor devices, VLSI, chip design, packaging, wireless and optical communication, RF and microwave systems, sensing, and photonic systems. The advanced knowledge developed through these pathways directly supports India’s strategic priorities in domestic semiconductor manufacturing, 5G/6G communication systems, photonic integrated technologies, intelligent sensing, autonomous systems, and Industry 5.0 standards. The program also includes interdisciplinary learning, entrepreneurship, innovation, and research. It offers industrial internships, semiconductor projects, startup support, and mission-driven work to help India become self-reliant in electronics and chip technologies.

2. Objectives of Program

The program gives strong theory and practical skills in electronics engineering, focusing on the four areas. It prepares graduates for three main paths:

1. Industrial pathway: Technical roles in chip design, semiconductor services, VLSI, communication systems, RF-photonics, antennas, radar, embedded platforms, and tech management.
2. Entrepreneurial pathway: Apply the acquired knowledge for the development of electronics products, semiconductor solutions, intelligent systems, communication technologies, and deep-tech startups.
3. Academic and research pathway: Pursue advanced graduate studies and research in frontier areas such as VLSI, semiconductor devices, next-generation communication systems, RF-photonics, and intelligent embedded systems, leading to careers in research, innovation, and academia.
