in the broad field of Electronics &
Communication Engineering, either fully
theoretical/practical or involving both
theoretical and practical work to be
assigned by the Department on an
individual basis or two/three students in a
group, under the guidance of a Supervisor.
This is expected to provide a good
initiation for the student(s) in R&D work.
