B.Tech(Electronics & Communication Engg)

The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering of MCET is committed to offer teaching of the highest quality. The Department was started in 1998 with the introduction of the undergraduate programme (B.Tech) in Electronics & Communication Engineering(ECE) affiliated to Kalyani University. Initially, the approved intake capacity was 40 and in the Teaching Quality Assessments of AICTE, the intake now has been increased to 60. From its inception, the Department recognizes that its staff are its key resource and, as such, all staff are encouraged to take part in academic and professional development activities throughout the year. This is why the Department is rated as one of the top five ECE Departments under the WBUT. The first batch of students with B.Tech in ECE passed out in 2002 and it is a matter of great pride that Samiul Haque of our Department stood First Class First in the University.

The academic year is divided into two semesters each of six months; the first semester begins in July-August and the second in January. The programme is taught in a batch with strength of 60 students. Faculty at the department uses multiple teaching methods, namely, in-class learning through lectures, assignments and tutorials.
