The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was established in the Academic Year 1998-1999 with a sanctioned intake of 60. With its strenuous effort shown in academics and extra-curricular activities, the Department magnified gradual growth in its intake to 120 in the Academic Year 2007-2008. In its long haul, with a vision of providing finest Post Graduate Program, the Department introduced M.Tech in Electrical Power Systems with an intake of 18 in the Academic Year 2004-2005. To add jewel in the crown, the Department inaugurated IEEE students’ chapter in the Year 2017 and IEI students’ Chapter in the Year 2020 for promoting research attitude among the young aspirants. In the quality check of NBA, the Department has been accredited under Tier –I.
The department is unique in its own ways by promoting excellence in Electrical Engineering and fulfilling its role in the era of new millennium and meets the needs and demands of various industrial sectors. With the intent of instilling research approach among students, the department is heedful in Research & Development projects. In its augmentation, the department involves in collaborative research with industries. Coupled with its gradual proliferation, the department has signed MoUs with leading Industries. The Department has established Centre of Excellence in Renewable Energy Sources for carrying out advanced research.
With determined hope and optimism, the department has dedicated and well qualified faculty members who manifested to be specialized in Power Systems, Power Electronics, Electrical Drives and Control, Control System, Electrical Machines, Renewable Energy, etc. The curriculum is developed in such a way to meet the industry requirements from time to time, also in synchronization with AICTE model curriculum by covering the emerging areas like Renewable Energy Systems, Embedded System, Electric Hybrid Vehicle, Industrial Automation and Control, Artificial Intelligence etc. Besides, the students are replenished with advanced courses for enhancing their technical skills and programming abilities to get acquainted with new trends in technology and develop overall potential of the students in diversified aspects.
