Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) was started in the year 1994. The department offers 4 years Under Graduate (UG) program in B.E. ECE and 2 years Post Graduate (PG) program in M.E. VLSI Design. The current student intake for UG programme is 180 and PG programme is 18. The UG programme is thrice accredited by NBA from 2006. Currently, the accreditation process is under renewal. The department is a recognized by Anna University, Chennai for doing research and is effectively functioning with full-time and part-time research scholars.
The curriculum and syllabi for the programmes offered in the department are currently designed as per the Regulation 2018 of autonomous system. The curriculum is designed to achieve a balance between depth of knowledge acquired through specialization and breadth of knowledge gained through exploration. The undergraduate degree courses offered by the department provide a comprehensive foundation in the core topics of ECE coupled with areas of specialization relevant to emerging engineering challenges. The curriculum design supports to create professional electronics and communication engineers, who can serve in the fields of core electronics engineering, information and communication systems, and related fields.
