B Tech ECE
ECE subjects, scope, placements and more
NIIT University’s (NU) B Tech Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) programme aims to create professionals who can engineer large, relevant and robust electronics & communications systems. The B Tech ECE programme provides students a strong foundation in the fundamentals of Electronics and Communications Engineering through courses such as Analog & Digital Communications, Digital Logic & Circuits, Coding & Information Theory, etc. The programme provides mastery over advanced topics in Embedded Systems, Wireless Broadband Communications and Digital Signal Processing to enable students to straddle the overlapping fields of Electronics, Communications and Computer Science.
NU’s Electronics and Communication Engineering Vision
To be nationally recognized for research excellence and innovative learning environment that equips learners to contribute to the knowledge society.
NU’s Electronics and Communication Engineering Mission
- To cultivate a culture of inquest and curiosity that pushes the boundaries of knowledge and drives research and innovation.
- To create a dynamic and supportive learning environment that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and entrepreneurial mindset.
- To promote sustainable practices, collaboration with industry and instil sense of seamlessness for building socially responsible global citizen.
- To support lifelong learning and professional development, enabling individuals to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing technological world.
Three areas in ECE are growing at a rapid pace:
Communication engineering has moved from voice communication (telephony) to data communication (voice, image, video, text, etc) and technology has moved from 1G to 5G and above. High-end Radio Access Networks (RAN) like GSMRAN, UTRAN, 5GRAN, etc have evolved to match the protocols and standards of these new-age technologies. Upgraded data centres with new communication capabilities have become a necessary infrastructure component of roads, railways, ports, electrical transmission lines, water supply lines and so on. Several devices and centres are being integrated into new generation communication networks to include elements like robots, drones, cars, education and health to make them IoT-ready. In the nextIn next 5 years the global communication network market is going to increase from 1.5 trillion dollarsdollar to around 1.55 trillion dollarsdollar, thereby generating huge requirements of trained manpower in communication engineering.
Flexible Electronics has picked up pace due to manufacturing of wearable devices and customer products. Recently the Government of India made a budget provision of INR 76 thousand crores to attract global giants in electronic chip manufacture. Due to automation in almost all industry sectors, the chip market is growing exponentially and is likely to reach from current 36 billion dollars to 125 billion dollars in the next 5 years.
The controllers that integrate different renewable sources and condition power for specific independent loads and grid interaction; electrical vehicles and charging stations, etc., have already been commercialised. The market for these controllers is also growing exponentially. The concept of ‘energy harvesting’ is also gaining momentum.
As government policies across the globe take cognisance of these growing markets, the production capacity of electrical power by SPV systems is also keeping pace with market demands. This generates immense job opportunities in the production, installation, operation and maintenance of equipment as well as services like project management, etc.
NU regularly upgrades specialisations in the ECE programme and restructures programme-related courses in consultation with the electronics industry.

Why pursue B Tech ECE at NU
NU’s B Tech ECE programme is designed to cater to these latest and emerging trends in consultation with the electronics industry so that our students have a distinctive edge when they step out into the industry.
Workshop practice is a path-breaking approach to orient future engineers to product development. Students undergo the complete process of idea-to-product development life cycle from hands-on experience of circuit design, PCB design & fabrication, PCB assembling and testing, product packaging & designing and fabrication of the housing. They also get an exposure to modern manufacturing processes by working with CNC machines.
This unique learning methodology uses exhibition as a mode to encourage students to build prototypes and demonstrate them as part of the course curriculum. Students choose project ideas of practical importance in day-to-day life from diverse fields such as Robotics, Automation, Security, Communications, Surveillance and Gaming and build prototypes from scratch. This encourages not only out-of-classroom learning but also develops the entrepreneurial spirit in them. Some interesting projects executed are – E-Glove, Heartbeat Counter, and Bluetooth Key Finder.
NU provides B Tech ECE students with the opportunity to undertake research work at the undergraduate level itself. The programme curriculum encourages subject-specific research and development activities in frontier areas of the domain under the guidance of ECE faculty. Those interested can continue working on the project during summer term. NURap (NU Research Assistantship Programme) provides a monthly monetary assistantship and can be availed of during the R&D project and afterwards also if the project work continues.
NU’s Industry Practice is a mandatory component that enables students to work in the industry on real projects under the direct guidance of industry professionals. This industry-linked academic programme enables students to acquire skills, knowledge and hands-on experience sought by employers worldwide. It not only helps in identifying right career opportunities but also equips them with the ability to give direction to their own careers.
NU’s faculty for ECE is a mix of experienced academicians, young professors as well as adjunct faculty drawn from relevant industry and research institutions. Thus, students get to work with the best minds in the field.
In addition to teaching and institution building responsibilities, the committed faculty are actively involved in research, publishing their work in reputed conferences and journals – both national and international. B Tech and PhD students are involved in all research activities. The ECE faculty at NU have been conducting research in the broad areas of communications and signal processing, wireless broadband communications, cognitive radio, sensor networks & vehicular communications,Nanotechnology and the Internet of Things.

The market for controllers to integrate different renewable sources and generate power for electric vehicles and charging stations is growing exponentially. As per government policies across the globe, production capacity of electrical power by SPV systems is growing rapidly and is likely to generate a lot of jobs for ECE engineers in operations, maintenance and services.
True to the spirit of being a technology-based and research-driven university, NU offers well-equipped, high-tech laboratories to aid students in their learning journey. Here are some glimpses from ECE labs.
Programme outline
NU’s four-year (8 semesters) B Tech ECE programme uses industry-linked, project-based learning. Students apply what they learn by executing mini projects that are relevant to the industry. This not only minimises the gap between classroom and practice but also orients the student to solve current and future industry problems.
