About The Department

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was established in the year 1993, with an intake of 60 students. The department has produced several university ranks including University first rank in the year 2004. The students intake of UG was increased to 120 in the year 2005. To promote higher education, a Post graduate Programme M.E (Applied Electronics) was started in the same year. In 2013 the Dept. has stared another PG degree Programme M.E., in the discipline of Communication Systems. The department also offers Research Programme. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a swiftly advancing field, with new ideas emerging every other second. From mobile phones to fiber optics and remote sensing, there are exciting avenues to explore and create. The ECE department at St.Peter's Institute of Higher Education and Research prepares students for careers in this constantly evolving discipline, pursue leadership, technical, and management positions in a variety of industries Students have obtained placements at leading companies. Some are pursuing their higher studies in prestigious institutions in India and abroad. The ECE Department holds national and international conferences that function like informal think tanks. Faculty and students benefit from guest lectures on the latest innovations in both established and emerging fields. Campus interviews are conducted every year by leading software and hardware companies. The department has got well equipped Laboratories and Computer facilities along with high speed Internetwork.
