Research

Many research activities are going on in the areas of Power Electronics, Control systems and Machine Design. Many faculty members are carrying out their PhD programmes. The PG students are actively involved in research projects in various areas.

Association of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
The Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (AEEE) of the department was inaugurated on 25th September, 2006.
The technical forum encourages the students to involve in various co-curricular activities like group discussions, aptitude tests, quiz programmes, soft skills etc. These activities not only make the students to get placements in various companies but also help them to improve their communication skills, leadership qualities and team spirit.

The students regularly conduct seminars on contemporary themes and participate in the intercollegiate symposiums. During semester and vacation, the students are permitted to undertake industrial visits for broadening their perspective about industries. They are also permitted to undergo inplant training in various industries for in-depth view and feel of skills such as technological, managerial, entrepreneurial, manufacturing, testing and administrative.
