The department offers four year Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) program (comprising of eight semesters) in Electrical Engineering. It is one of the oldest undergraduate engineering programs in the country for advanced study in the field of Electrical Sciences and recognized world over for its academic excellence. Show(+) The curriculum of B. Tech program comprises of core courses, department elective courses, institute electives, seminar, laboratory experiments and projects. The program offers sufficient flexibility so that the students can undertake various elective courses that provide exposure in various specializations in electrical engineering, such as Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and drives, Power System, Control System and systems engineering. The undergraduate students can also undertake various research projects through exploratory, undergraduate and stream projects that are embedded in the curriculum. The primary goal of the exploratory project is to facilitate a window to the students for experimentation, model development and learning advanced tools. Undergraduate projects expose the students to applying research methodologies in processes or product development/ innovation/ design. Hide(-)

Department of Electrical Engineering runs five postgraduate (M. Tech.) programmes in Electrical Machines and Drives (since 1956), Power Systems (since 1964), Control Systems (since 1964), Power Electronics (since 1982) and Interdisciplinary Systems Engineering (since 1982). It is a full time program of two years duration with limited Teaching Assistant (TA) positions available in the department. Show(+) TA positions require valid GATE score in EC/EE/IN/PH/CS disciplines as prescribed for various specializations. The department attaches lot of importance to its Master's students providing them ample opportunities towards research and development.
M.Tech program comprises of core courses, specialization related electives, institute electives and supervised research exposition. M.Tech thesis enables graduate students to display their skills in performing independent research in both classical and modern problems of electrical sciences and related areas. It is expected that M. Tech thesis would result in high quality research publications or patent or prototype technology development. Hide(-)

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program is a flagship program of the department's research. Ph. D. programme are available in all disciplines of Electrical Engineering. Our researchers are making a real difference, developing innovative technologies and shaping our society. Show(+) Applied research is a particular strength of our research community, who are working with government, industry and partner organizations to tackle a wide range of exciting and diverse issues critical to improving lives and creating a more equal society in our region and beyond. Our research informs teaching and learning to enrich our students’ experience.
Requirement for successful completion of PhD
PhD program comprises of course work for prescribed credits with a minimum prescribed performance and a research dissertation reflecting original and independently performed research contributions in the respective area.
In Electrical Engineering department, all admitted students are required to successfully complete PhD qualifier examination after completing the prescribed course work. PhD candidacy is confirmed only after the student has been declared successful in qualifier examination. PhD thesis is expected to result in high quality publications in peer reviewed international journals and conferences with a minimum of one journal and one conference paper publication before the thesis can be submitted for review.
Funding support for PhD
Limited Teaching Assistant (TA) positions are available in the department. All teaching assistants are required to assist course instructors in grading, conducting tutorial and examinations etc., for the prescribed hours per week. PhD scholars getting support as TA may also beassigned any academic or administrative duties related to various activities of the department such as admissions, examinations duty etc., by the Head of the department.
If you are interested in enquiring a position available with a faculty member in his/her sponsored research grants for PhD, you may contact the faculty member/s relevant to your research areas. Hide(-)
