Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

From HOD’s Desk

by P ROF.N IGAVEKAR A. R.
This department has been running a U.G. course in Elec-
tronics Engineering since 1983 and PG course in Electronics
and Telecommunication Engineering since 2004. It has to
its credit an excellent track record in terms of students’ aca-
demic performance over the years. Students consistently fea-
ture among the ‘top ten rankers’ at the university level. Be-
sides they have also been performing well in competitive ex-
ams like GATE, TOFEL, etc. Many of them have made a mark
in reputed companies at the national and international level.
It regularly conducts various courses to keep pace with the
dynamics of change by teaming up with various reputed in-
stitutions and organizations. At KIT, Research and Development is an integral part of every
academic discipline. Our R& D efforts to advance and widen the knowledge base prove ben-
eficial to both the faculty and students. We believe that there’s nothing like ‘education that
finds a direct application in the industry’, and we aim to provide just that with industrial
visits, study tours and specific workshops on interview techniques and group discussions.
Being strategically located in a region that’s blossoming industrially, outstanding projects
worked on by students receive financial support of the industry. We also encourage students
into active consultancy for various organizations in the industry giving them insights and
inputs that prove helpful. It regularly conducts various courses to keep pace with the dy-

Campus interviews help students get acquainted with the requirements of the industry and
also help them find placements in well-known industries like intel, Microchip, KPIT Tech-
nplogies Pune, eInfochip Pune, Global edge Banglore SIEMENS, HONEYWELL, BEL, BARC
etc.
The department draws upon the rich experience of 11 qualified and highly experienced fac-
ulty members. Three of the faculty members are in the process of adding on to this rich
heritage by completion of their doctorate degrees. Besides majority of them also have a
Professional experience ranging from 2 to 10 years. newline The department also invests
much on its laboratories, to provide excellent facility to students as much as possible.
