Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

A. About the department

The Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering started its

journey in July,1968 after its nucleation from the Department of Physics &
Telecommunication from the erstwhile Bengal Engineering College. The first batch of
Graduates & Post Graduate passed out in 1971 &1974 respectively .The Department
offers Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) course in Electronics & Telecommunication for a
duration of 8 Semesters . Master of Engineering (M.E) programs of 4 semester duration
have been conducted for the specializations (a) Digital System & Instrumentation & (b)
Microwave Communication Systems.
