DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS

 

The department of Electronics, started in 1999 is the first Government sector initiative under the jurisdiction of University of Calicut in Palakkad district. The department currently offers undergraduate degree in Electronics (B. Sc. Electronics). The goal and objective of the Department is to impart higher education and ignite research aptitude in the field of Electronics through quality teaching and training.

The students are selected through the centralized admission process of University of Calicut based on their merit. The B. Sc. Electronics course is conducted in six semesters with lecture classes, laboratory sessions, industrial visit and also with a Project work in the last semester. The curriculum of this course is designed in such a way that after successful completion the students can easily go for higher studies, industrial jobs and in entrepreneur roles. Our alumni are currently employed in post doctoral research in international universities, IT industries, various banks and other government services.

Programme offered:

1. BSc. Electronics with Mathematics and Computer Science

Eligibility:

Candidate of admission to the B.Sc. Electronics Programme should have passed the Higher secondary / Technical higher secondary / Vocational Higher secondary examinations of Govt. of Kerala or CBSE or ICSE or any other examinations recognized as equivalent to by the University of Calicut with Mathematics as compulsory subject and physics or Electronics or Computer Science or Computer Applications as one of the optional subjects.

Duration of the Programme:

Duration of the programme shall be 6 semesters. Each semester should have 90 instructional days with 5 hours of instruction per day 5-days a week system. The University will conduct semester-end examinations.

Programme Specific Outcome:

On completion of the B.Sc. Electronics Programme, the student shall be able to:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics and science in the design, development and implementation of systems for electronics applications.
• Demonstrate proficiency in use of hardware and software tools to design and conduct electronic experiments.
• Design electronic systems that conform to the environmental, societal, ethical and economic constraints

Higher Studies:

The students can continue to take up courses such as MSc Electronics, M Sc computer Science, MSc Instrumentation Technology, MCA, MBA, etc.

The teaching is imparted by well trained faculty members who have gained reputation in their fields of research. They also serve in the editorial boards of international journals such as IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, International Journal of Antennas & propagation and in board of studies of various Universities in Kerala. The department is organizing National seminars/workshops in the areas of Electronics. The department has a well equipped Electronics laboratory with all modern instruments to cater the need of undergraduate education in Electronics.

The major highlights of the department:

• Many of the students are post doctoral researchers in international Universities.
• Many students have also got jobs in various Central/State Govt. services and placed in IT industries.
• Our Alumni Manoj M (2010-13 batch) has participated in 39th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica (39ISEA), representing Cochin University of Science and Technology and National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research in 2019-20.
• Manoj M (2010-13 batch) also received the Distinguished Researcher Award 2020 from Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kochi, in 2021.
• Department has more than 50 publications in various International journals and conferences till date.
• The faculty members of the department has published text books for students affiliated to Calicut University (Digital Electronics, ISBN: 978-93-90302-51-2)
• Many of our students have qualified the UGC NET/JRF examination.
