Research
Our faculty pursue fundamental and applied research across four core areas of electrical engineering, with active industry and government collaborations.
Focuses on exciting problems in areas such as communication systems, signal processing, and machine learning, spanning 5G/6G networks, speech and image processing, and biomedical signal analysis.
ExploreSpecializes in exciting problems in areas such as chip design (analog, digital, mixed-signal), nanoelectronics, sensors, and advanced packaging technologies like 3D-ICs and photonics.
ExploreExplores broad areas of power electronics and power systems, with growing emphasis on emerging areas such as renewable energy systems and electric vehicles. Core work spans wide-bandgap power converters, multilevel converters and drives, HVDC/FACTS, power system stability, wide-area monitoring and control, AI applications, and smart grids.
ExploreInvestigates exciting problems in areas such as control theory, AI, and robotics, covering optimal control and AI/ML for dynamic systems, with applications in industrial automation, automotive systems, and aerospace.
ExplorePrograms
A four-year undergraduate programme offered in two tracks: the flagship B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering, and B.Tech. EE (IC Design & Technology), a semiconductor-focused track under the India Semiconductor Mission spanning chip design, device physics, and IC fabrication. Both tracks build a strong foundation across circuits, signals, control, power systems, and electronics, with electives spanning the department's four core research areas.
A postgraduate programme with four specialised streams: CSPL, Microelectronics & VLSI, PEPS, and Systems & Control. Semesters I and II are devoted to coursework; Semesters III and IV to a research thesis. Available under Teaching Assistantship (2-year), Research Assistantship (3-year), and Self-Sponsored (2-year) modes. A part-time variant is also offered for working professionals.
A research-focused doctoral programme offering the opportunity to work alongside leading faculty on fundamental and applied problems in all areas of electrical engineering. Scholars are expected to publish original research and are supported through fellowships from the Ministry of Education, INSPIRE, CSIR, and sponsored projects. The department has research funding in excess of Rs 200 crores since inception.
