Academics

UNIVERSITY RANKS:

The subjects that constitute the curriculum give the students a strong foundation in Electrical and Electronic fields. The department lays emphasis on knowledge-based training. The faculties not only empower the students with conceptual depth but also enable them to meet the requirements of the industries. Even when subjected to such frequent, time consuming events throughout the year, the students continue to impress in the academic field. They have consistently maintained their academic profile to match any other top ranking university. It is notable that the students have performed consistently in the University examination.

Innovations in Teaching

• Use of modern teaching aids like LCD projectors are usually employed in classrooms and other student learning environments.
• Faculties share Academic study material using digital library
• Department conducts Seminar, workshops, expert talks and Industrial visits on every semester
• Department has introduced Mini projects every semester in the curriculum
• Students are encouraged to participate National and Internal conferences in coordination with Faculty members
• Faculty members use digital library and other open source platforms such as NPTEL video lectures to make the subject easy to understand
• Faculty members are encouraged to participate in short term courses, staff development programs and workshops on advanced topics to keep pace with the advanced level of knowledge and skills. Over the past years, Faculty members have been participating/ presenting papers in National / International conferences and publish their articles to enrich their knowledge

INDUSTRIAL VISIT

The students of II, III & IV year are sent for Industrial Visits to have an exposure to the state of art facilities pertaining to their ongoing curriculum for the betterment of their understanding at various organizations like ISRO, BHAVINI, SUBSTATION, POWER PLANT, SWITCH GEAR MANUFACTURING etc.

ECUBE  -  A week of E3 – Enrichment, Enhancement, Empowerment. These, in a nutshell, are the focus areas of our week-long value-addition exercises for students to be conducted in the month of July, for the II, III and IV year  students of our college. Technical Seminars in topics that are an extrapolation of the curriculum will be presented by students. Students will also present their Mini-Projects and will cover all aspects of engineering, right from planning and analysis. This is an exercise aimed at enriching the knowledge and skills of the students.

A student at the crossroads of life must be guided and presented with options in order to make informed decisions about their careers. Career guidance and counseling activities have been planned to enhance the decision-making ability of the students at one of the most crucial junctures of their lives. Participating in group discussions and training in facing interviews are two essential skills that must be acquired by all students. Group Discussions and Mock Interviews have been organized to empower the student.

CONFERENCE:
