Apart from research, faculties are engaged in reviewing the reputed journals and are invited for technical talks in various other Institutes.

Scope of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering

The present academic scenario of the Department envisaged its potential status as far as official and student's activity is concerned. The Diploma Program in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering has been in existence since the inception of the Institute. The course is approved by the SCTE & VT. The current intake capacity for the said course is 25 students. The Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Department of IGIT, SARANG offers 3-year Diploma course, 4-year B. Tech Degree course, 2-year M. Tech Degree course in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and PhD in Engineering as its subjects.

In 2008, the Institute started its B. Tech programme in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (ETCE) with an approval from All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) with an intake capacity of 60 students. This program aims at producing Engineers with in-depth and sound knowledge in Electronics Engineering and a strong background in communication Engineering. The Department has started two specializations under Post Graduate Programs as Electronics & Communication Engineering and Wireless Communication Technology in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

This budding Department provides Diploma and Undergraduate programs simultaneously with an objective to prove its excellence, which emphasizes fundamental principles that responds to and able to generate technological change. The programs are designed to challenge the exceptional talent of ongoing students, ensuring to build up the technocrat ability among them so that they are equipped to target for a leadership role and to be competent enough with proven credentials. The students are ought to have the scope of opting professional fields such as, Design and Development of Electronic Equipment, Wireless Communication & Networking system, VLSI Design, Control & Instrumentation, Remote Sensing, Signal Processing and Bio-medical Engineering Applications etc. Challenging careers in the public sectors like IES, MTNL, BSNL, DRDO, BARC, SAIL, BHEL, NTPC, PGCIL, ECL, BEL, NHPC, NPC, CGL, NALCO, Software Companies, State and Central Government Services etc. can also be a part of their achievement, which reflects huge potential of the course offered.

The work strategy and initiatives are supported by Govt. of India agencies like AICTE and TEQIP III.
