Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (established in 2005 G.C) strives for national and international excellence in teaching, research, community services and industry engagement. We are committed to producing technically proficient graduates and advancing the state-of-the-art in Electrical and Computer Engineering through impactful research and robust industry partnerships, thereby enriching our educational programs. The time duration to complete under graduate program is 5 years and 2 years for postgraduate program. Electrical and Computer Engineering Department contains four focus areas (Streams) as an undergraduate program. These four focus areas are: -
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering (Established in 2017G.C) department aspires to create a world-class educational training, research, community researches, university industry linkage and service provision center in Biomedical Engineering. It produces technically competent graduates and apply knowledge in modern Biomedical application domains. The core values are academic excellence, skill, and research-based transformational learning. Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary subject that is the application of the knowledge of physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational science and engineering principles on the field of medicine and health. Generally, Biomedical Engineering aims at the design, construction, innovation, invention, maintenance, and management of medical and rehabilitation equipment.
