DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING
HISTORY
The department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was started in the year
2008 along with the college Navodaya Institute of Technology under the leadership of great
educationist
Sri S.R Reddy Chairman Navodaya Education Trust (NET) Raichur. The
department offers undergraduate degree programme of B.E Electronics and Communication
Engineering & postgraduate degree programme of M.Tech in digital communication and
networking. Under the UG programme, the sanctioned student intake is 60 and under the PG
programme the sanctioned student intake is 18. Students are admitted in two streams, first being
the Government aided stream through CET and second is the self-supporting stream.
Vision:
To excel in education and research field of Electronics & Communication Engineering, thereby
creating well-disciplined and competent engineers who will be providing service to the society
and mankind.
Mission:
To create and develop qualified and competent technical professionals by training the students
with a strong background on basic engineering principles, innovative technical skills and
exemplary professional conduct to be utilized for the betterment of the society.
Programme Educational Objectives.

Students are trained to meet the future global challenges and to inculcate the quest for
modern technologies in the emerging areas. Students and staff are motivated towards
research, leading to innovative projects.

Quality technical education is imparted to produce industry-ready engineers, which help
in producing future leaders with cohesive teamwork. Entrepreneurial skill is developed
among students for overall societal exaltation. The students and staff design and conduct
innovative experiments.

All circuits, analytical, algorithmic and design oriented subjects and their associated
tutorial classes, tests and examinations will help the students to develop analytical skills
for solving engineering problems.

Language and seminar Hours, Subjects on Professional Ethics and Industrial management
will develop communication skills and inculcate moral ethics among students.


Paper Presentation, Lab Assignments, Mini-Projects and in-house Final Year Projects
will motivate the students to solve issues within realistic constraints and engage in
lifelong learning.

Faculties monitor students’ progress on a regular basis through “Mentoring”.
Faculty
For the faculty in the department of ECE, teaching is more of a passion than profession.
We not only create well-educated students, but make them also acquire awareness about the
changing world scenario in the field of electronics and communication engineering.
The Department has highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculties, aiming at
achieving a balance between depth of knowledge acquired through specialization and breadth of
knowledge gained through exploration.
Strengths of the Department in laboratories.

Department Association
The association of Electronics and Communication Engineering Department is a forum where
students are encouraged to the maximum to exhibit talents in co-curricular activities and
activities like Debate, Group Discussion, Mock interviews, Technical Quiz, and Aptitude tests
etc., at regular intervals. By this students gain confidence to face interviews in the future.
Eminent people in their field of specialization are invited to deliver guest lectures regularly. We
also publish a Newsletter Genesis two issues a semester which encourages students to write
technical articles & more. ECE Department Association conducts project expo every year so as
to exhibit and share the talents of our students in their project work among themselves as well as
to their juniors.
