Department of Electronics Engineering
The Department of Electronics Engineering came into existence as an offshoot of Electrical Engineering Department in the year 1971 with a great effort from Prof. S.S. Banerjee. In the same year the erstwhile Banaras Engineering College (BENCO), College of Mining and Metallurgy and College of Technology were amalgamated to form the Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU). The Department offers Bachelor, Master and Doctoral programs in Electronics Engineering with the major thrust areas of Microelectronics, Microwave Engineering, Digital Techniques & Instrumentations and Communication Systems. The Department has been actively engaged in research since its inception as evidenced by the research publications. The first major financial support from the Department of Electronics (DoE), Govt. of India in the tune of Rs.1.0 Crore was received by the Department in 1980 to carry out research for development of High Power Microwave Tubes.
Academic Programmes
- B.Tech.
- The Department runs a four-year B.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering since 1983. Students, for the program, are admitted through the most prestigious UG engineering entrance exam of the country, JEE (Advanced). The program is a mix of fundamental and applied courses leading to different streams Computer Science and Engineering. Apart from learning the concepts of development of skills related to the discipline, the courses are designed in such a way that have broad base of humanities and science courses as well as courses that enable the students to build their character. Hence, overall objective is to provide education to the students with aim to build the student well human with strong character and responsive to demands of society and nature.
- Dual Degree (IDD)
- Department also offers dual degree i.e., B.Tech. and M.Tech., in Computer Science and Engineering from 2005-06. The students work on a research problem independently leading to M.Tech. Dissertation for a period of one year after completing the four years of B.Tech. programme. They earn their M.Tech. degree along with B.Tech. degree.
- M.Tech.
- The department starts a full-time M.Tech. program in Computer Science and Engineering. The program considers Artificial Intelligent (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) specializations. The program covers core courses, elective courses, and the project. The admission in the program is through GATE.
- Ph.D.
- The department is actively involved in research in many areas of Computer Science. The focus of the PhD program is on research training with a high degree of specialization. The aim of such a training is to make our PhD students very competent in their respective areas, so that they may be able to take up teaching or research-and- development work in future. Ph.D. students are also involved in teaching assistantship. This develops their teaching abilities. A admitted PhD student pursue his research in a specific area of research with a highly trained faculty member who is his/her PhD thesis supervisor. Information related to various specializations available in the Dept. are available in respective section.
