Postgraduate

The Electrical Engineering Department offers four Semester M.Tech. Programmes in Control and Industrial Automation (CIA) and Power and Energy System Engineering. The standard M. Tech. is a two year programme, where the first two semesters are spent doing courses. A one-year project commences in end of the 2nd semester . The project typically has a strong research component. The programme is designed such that a student can complete it based on advanced coursework alone. However, the students are given the option to concentrate on a problem by substituting some of the courses with equivalent project work.
