The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was established in the year 1972. The department has well qualified and highly motivated faculty and well equipped laboratories to cater the needs of both the UG and PG students. The facilities in the department are also capable to meet the requirements of the faculty for their research work.

The branch of Engineering offered by the department is one of the most sought after branch by all the prospective students and is filled by the meritorious ones. The Department offers two PG programmes, one in DEAC (Digital Electronics and Advanced Communication) and the other in Microelectronics.

The department has got ten fully equipped labs including PCB lab, DSP lab, Fiber Optic lab, VLSI lab and MEMS lab. There is also a departmental Library. The associated clubs of E& C departments are I.E.(E & C) and IEEE.
In addition to their regular teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, the faculty engage actively in research work in various areas like Digital Signal Processing, Optical Fiber Communication, VLSI design, Nano materials, Devices, MEMS, NEMS etc., and publish papers in national and international conferences and indexed journals. The students also undertake quality project works and publish papers at various prestigious conferences/student paper presentation contests under the guidance of faculty members. Students of this department have excelled in their assignments in different organizations over the years. This fact is substantiated by the excellent placement records and the fact that large number of prestigious multinational companies are visiting the department for placements.
The department had conducted short-term courses in emerging areas of Electronics and Communications such as High Speed Communication Networks, Embedded systems using FPGA’s ARM Processor etc. In 2005 & 2007 Department has conducted National Conferences. Dept is also organizing an International Conference in association with IEEE during December 2009.
