HOD’s Message
The department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (E & TC) was established in
the year 1984. This is one of the major departments in the institute, offering two programs which
are BTech (Electronics and Telecommunication) and MTech (VLSI and Embedded System) with the
intake of 120 and 18 respectively. The department also offers Ph.D program. The aim of the
department is to provide technical education of the highest standard. The department has always
been on a high growth path to keep pace with the ever-increasing importance of the major
discipline of study as current technology trends.
The term Electronics and Telecommunication engineering denotes a broad engineering field that
covers important subfields such as analog electronics, digital electronics, consumer
electronics, embedded systems, VLSI Design, power electronics, communication systems.
Electronics-based products play a vital role in our daily lives, from the sophisticated
diagnostic equipment used in modern hospitals to leading-edge fibre optic communications.
Computer technology, telecommunications and consumer electronics are advancing at an
ever-increasing pace. We offer degree courses teaching state of the art technology, allowing our
graduates to work at the forefront of all the major areas of Electronics and Telecommunication
engineering.
The department has experienced staff members who are serving the college from last 20 to 30
years. The department has excellent state of the art laboratory setup. It also operates and
maintains an Audio-Video hall of capacity 150 and equipped with 200audio video courses from
IITs. The department also has a PCB lab and large number of software tools for students to use.
The faculty is actively participating in various conferences, workshops, seminars, training programs at
national and international level. They also present technical papers at national and international
conferences frequently, which are also published in reputed journals. DST, Pune University and AICTE have
funded the research proposals filed by the department faculty. Sincere and dedicated efforts of our students
and staff have transformed into excellent results with University toppers, which has put the department at
the forefront in the Pune University. Apart from academic excellence, the department also encourages
students to take part in various co-curricular activities.
Our students have received prizes at different national and international competitions. Our students secured

Department also provides guidance related to IPR. Students are encouraged to publish their final year
project results. Many students have filed patents under guidance of department faculty members and IPR
coordinator. SAEE, Student’s Association of Electronics Engineering, organizes many expert lectures
and workshops for students. This organization provides a platform for students to develop organizational
skills and to upgrade their technical competence.
The department conducts a national level technical symposium 'Telekinesis' annually for the benefit of the
students. The students are taken to industrial visits and experts from industries are invited to interact
with students regularly to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Many UG students undergo vocational
training in industries like HAL and BSNL. Workshops on preparation for aptitude tests and interviews for
placement in MNCs are conducted for final year students. The students passed out in past two decades from
this department have been successfully placed in various private sectors and public sector organizations.
TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, Siemens, KPIT, L&T Infotech, Rishabh Instruments,Mahindra and Mahindra, CGL,
PSPL, Persistent Systems, Perennial Systems, Fin IQ, TietoEvry, Emerson and Bosch are our regular
