The Department of Electronics and Communication has been functioning with efficient leadership since 2006.The Department offers UG, PG and Ph.D. Programs under VTU. The program is accredited by NBA. The objective of the Department is to develop professionals having good skills, self-learning ability and confidence to support and contribute to the growth of relevant industries. The students have strong base in basic science, mathematics and inter disciplinary engineering subjects. The students are also exposed to important subjects and advances that are being made in this rapidly changing field and provided opportunities to gain vital practical experience. Project based learning is been given much weightage. Theoretical Knowledge is supplemented with ability to analyze, design and provide technical solutions that have real life value

There are a total of 26 faculty members. Many of them have more than 10 years of experience. There are faculty members with good amount of industry experience. The department is geared up to conduct international conference in technical association with Springer & a national level conference. The Number of workshops, Industrial visits FDPs, Seminars and Conferences conducted in the campus are increasing every year.. We are also collaborating with industries such as Karnataka Hybrid Micro Devices, P-Thinks & Win global Tech, Bangalore. Our student projects are proposed for VGST/ KSCST Project funding. Our students have excelled sports such as Karate in National/International level/Asian continent level of championships and in technology development in terms of Mobile applications. All the activities are held through professional societies like ISTE, IETE or departmental club.
