The Institute recognizes the industry’s growing demand for specialized expertise as fields within Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) become increasingly complex. To meet this need, the Institute offers an “M.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering with specialization in <area>,” allowing students to focus on a particular domain within ECE. Alternatively, students may choose a general “M.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering” without specialization.
The M. Tech. (ECE) program offers a broad range of expertise across three key domains: Wireless Communication and Network Engineering, RF and Microwave Engineering, and VLSI & Embedded Systems. Depending on the elective courses selected, students have the flexibility to specialize in one of the following areas of study:
- Wireless Communication and Network Engineering
- RF and Microwave Engineering
- VLSI and Embedded Systems
This structure enables students to tailor their academic focus in alignment with their career aspirations and industry demands within these advanced technical fields.
Requirements for Specialization:
- Entry qualification for the specialization will be the same as for M.Tech. ECE.
- For “M.Tech. in ECE with specialization in <Wireless Communication and Network Engineering/ RF and Microwave Engineering /VLSI & Embedded Systems>”, the student must:
- A student is required to complete 18 credits (all the courses) from the core bucket.
- At least 10 credits should be from specialization electives in addition to the core courses.
- Thesis of 40 credits should be in the specialization domain.
- A student not fulfilling the specialization requirement can be considered for M.Tech. ECE (GEN) degree provided she/he fulfills other requirements.
Curriculum
M. S. by Research in Electronics and Communication Engineering
Programme Outcome
- PO-1 : An ability to independently carry out research /investigation and development work to solve practical problems.
