2026 National Conference on Communications (NCC 2026)
The National Conference on Communications (NCC) is
the flagship conference of India in the area of Communications, Signal
Processing, and Networks. It has been organized every year, starting
from the year 1995, by the Joint Telematics Group (JTG) of the Indian
Institutes of Technology (IIT) and the Indian Institute of Science.
More information on the previous editions of NCC can be found at
http://www.ncc.org.in/.
The
32nd National Conference on Communications (NCC-2026)
will be jointly organized by IIT Hyderabad,
IIT Bhilai, IIIT Hyderabad, and
IIIT Naya Raipur from
Feb 26 to March 1, 2026. NCC-2026 will be held as an
in-person event at IIT Hyderabad.
The conference will feature technical paper sessions, tutorials,
technology demos and exhibits, workshops on emerging topics, and
plenary and invited talks by renowned researchers from around the
globe.The paper submission process will be handled through EDAS, and the conference proceedings shall appear in IEEE Xplore.
The conference will be a meeting ground for researchers in academia
and industry, graduate research students, standardization bodies,
regulatory agencies, and telecom policy experts.
