The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a vibrant center of learning, innovation, and research, dedicated to shaping future- ready engineers who can meet the evolving demands of the global technology landscape. Established in 2012 with the mission to deliver high-quality education and cutting-edge research opportunities, the department offers undergraduate that blend strong theoretical foundations with practical skills.
KTU curriculum is regularly updated to stay aligned with industry trends and emerging technologies such as VLSI Design, Embedded Systems,
Communication Systems, Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The department is supported by experienced faculty members who are deeply engaged in teaching, research, and consultancy. Many of them are PhD holders with publications in reputed journals and active participation in national and international conferences.
The department is equipped with modern laboratories and software tools that facilitate hands-on learning and experimentation. Students are encouraged to take part in technical clubs, hackathons, workshops, and industry internships to gain real-world exposure and problem-solving experience. We also foster a strong research culture and industry collaboration through MoUs, sponsored projects, and faculty-industry interaction.
Our alumni are placed in top-tier companies, research organizations, and higher education institutions. Through continuous academic excellence, innovation, and social responsibility, the ECE Department strives to empower students to become competent professionals, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in the field of electronics and communication.
