About the Department

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was established in the year 1985, with a vision to develop the Department as a Center of Excellence in Research and Development. Our mission is to develop innovative teaching and learning pedagogies among students and infuse scientific temperament.

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science has a long standing tradition of excellence. The programme provides a sound foundation for students wishing to pursue a career in Electrical Engineering, Communication, Control Systems, Robotics, Sensor Systems, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, VLSI systems through a diverse range of theoretical skills and practical experience, which are presented in the context of real time applications.

The UG programme aims at deepening the knowledge and skills of the students on the basic concepts and theories that will equip them in their professional work involving analysis, systems implementation, operation, production and maintenance of the various applications in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering. It enables students to pursue a career in the field of measurement and control of complex industrial and electrical process. Modules of this program train the student to plan, design, install, operate, control and maintain complex systems.

The PG Program M.Tech Digital Image Processing primarily deals with the processing and transformations to be made on the image. Tagging of images in the videos, image search, etc. along with the applications in Medical Imaging, Search Engines, Home Security, Satellite Image Processing and Robotics has boosted up the importance of the course.

The PG Program in Embedded and Real Time Systems focuses on design and implementation of Embedded and Real Time Systems which controls industrial processes, automotive and consumer electronic appliances. This programme motivates and prepares students to pursue a detailed study of specific problems in real time computing and system development.

The DRDO collaborated AICTE approved M.Tech. Course in Defence Technology (Communication Systems & Sensors) would infuse interest in students and motivate them to pursue their career in research and development for defence and security to join defence, PSUs and private defence industries. The M.Tech. in Defence Technology courses has been designed to produce postgraduates who will have the necessary theoretical & experimental knowledge, skill and aptitude in various defence technologies areas and pursue them to carry out R&D in defence.

The students are encouraged to actively carry out their projects across various areas of Electronics and Communication and to develop their technical and research skills by attending various workshops, conferences, competitions, etc.
