DepArtment of eCe

The Department of ECE was established in the year 1997 to start a B.Tech programme affiliated to the JNTUni-versity, Hyderabad. The first batch of students graduated from the department in the year 2001. In later years, it has started many PG Programmes in specialisation like Embeded systems, VLSI, Data Communications etc. The undergraduate programme Electronics and Communication was accredited by NBA in the year 2006. In the year 2008, the college was accredited by NAAC and awarded an ‘A’ grade.The institution has been conferred with Deemed-to-be University status by UGC from January 2009. Thus, from a modest beginning, the department has come a long way. Today, it is one among the leading educational institutions of the country in Electronics and Communication Engineering and is now named as Department of ECE. The department of ECE offers B.Tech, M.Tech and Ph.D programmes.

theme of the ConferenCe The 5GCAT’18 is a forum to exhibit, discuss and exchange the latest technological trends and ideas in 5G communications area among the academia, research and industrial professionals. The main aim is to provide the platform for discussing the 5G communication technological benefits in the core sectors like agriculture, irrigation, infrastructure and energy. This conference brings the knowledge about the 5G advancements in ultra high speed, ultra low latency data communication networks along with its applications in Smart Agriculture, Smart Healthcare, Smart Buildings, Smart Cities, Smart Grids and Internet of Things, which are the core areas of focus for India.
