Electrical Engineering Department was established in the year 1987 with the permission of AICTE New Delhi with an intake capacity of 60 students. The college and the course were affiliated to the University of Pune. The University Grants Commission and the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India awarded the Deemed University status to the Institution and the Department in the year 2000.
The specious infrastructure, well equipped laboratories, meritorious students and academically qualified and enthusiastic faculty being the salient features of the Department. Electrical Department runs U.G., P.G. & Ph.D. courses and imparts education of very high standard and has created its own impression in the society. The students are admitted to B.Tech and M.Tech course through Common Entrance Examination conducted on All India Basis.
More than 1500 students have acquired B.E. / B.Tech (Electrical) degree and most of them have attained high positions in the organizations of repute. Some students continued their studies abroad and some have their own business. This shows the versatility of the knowledge they acquired in the department.
The department, apart from routine academic Curriculum takes keen interest in several other academic activities like conducting seminars, workshops, conferences, expert lectures etc. and updates the practical aspects through industry -institute interaction. A 45 days in plant training is integral part of the syllabi which gives exposure of industrial environment to the final year students.
The department maintains good culture and discipline by having close association with each student through 'Teacher Guardian Scheme'.
- One of the main achievements of the department is that in last 5 years result of B.Tech Electrical students was above 95 % and last consecutive two years following students bagged ‘University Gold Medal’
2009 : University Gold medal - Preeti kumari
2010 : University Gold medal – Priyansha Jaiswal
- The placement of the electrical engineering students is always above 75 %. The students have been selected in software companies like Wipro, Infosys, Canbey, TCS, Persistent, Emerson and the hard core companies like BHEL, NTPC, Kirloskar, Reliance, TATA Power, L & T, Simens etc. The alumni students are also working at top positions in government sector like Indian Railways, State Electricity Boards etc. Around 25 to 30 % students are pursuing higher education from various National and International Institutions of repute.
