With a strong emphasis on the holistic development of a student, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering grooms the multidisciplinary strengths of its students and builds their skill set through hands on training, workshops, and research at the frontiers of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Signal and Image Processing, VLSI Design, Power Electronics, Electric Vehicles, Embedded Systems, Contemporary Wireless Communication, Wind Energy, Nanotechnology, and 5G Communications.

The Department houses state of the art laboratories across almost every frontier of Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. Its laboratories carry the latest simulation tools to serve a range of specializations, and are equipped for measurement, characterization, and synthesis of both experimental and theoretical results.

The Department developed the on board communication subsystem, ground station control, electronic power supply, and attitude determination control systems, and calibrated the spectrometer, for the successful launch of SATHYABAMASAT on 22 June 2016. The satellite's mission of measuring greenhouse gas emissions is carried out through continuous collection and processing of satellite data by our students, from the ground station on our own premises. The combined expertise of staff and students has produced around 30 research projects sponsored by government and R&D organizations including DST, IGCAR, BRNS, BRFST, TNSCST, ISRO, and DRDO.

This opens a wide spectrum of placement opportunities, extending well beyond a student's immediate area of study, and shows in a consistent placement record of over 95% every year. Major recruiters include Samsung, HP Electronics, Renault, Nissan, Tata Communications, Nokia, Bosch, Amazon, NTT Data, MBIT Wireless, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Capgemini, L&T Infotech, and Tech Mahindra. Excellent infrastructure, expert faculty, and enthusiastic students have also produced remarkable contributions in product development, patents, and paper publications.
