The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at Cambridge Institute of Technology stands as a center of academic excellence, pioneering research, and industry-integrated education. With a team of distinguished faculty, state-of-the-art laboratories, and a forward-thinking curriculum, the department empowers students with the knowledge, technical skills, and innovative mindset required to excel in the ever-evolving technological landscape. The department focuses on bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications through industry-driven workshops, hands-on training, certification programs, and expert-led seminars, ensuring that students are well-equipped to meet the demands of both core electronics and information technology domains.
A hallmark of the department is its strong research culture, reflected through publications in reputed SCIE-indexed journals such as IEEE Transactions, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL), IEEE Access, and Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio), as well as publications with renowned publishers including Wiley, Springer, and Taylor & Francis. Faculty and students have also showcased their work in Tier-I Scopus-indexed IEEE International Conferences held in India and abroad. Students have consistently demonstrated excellence by winning top positions in hackathons, ideathons, codethons, and technical paper presentations at leading institutions, reflecting the department’s emphasis on creativity, analytical thinking, and innovation.
The department takes immense pride in securing the prestigious “Chip to Start-up” project, valued at ₹7 crores, sanctioned in May 2023, aimed at advancing chip-based technology development and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in the semiconductor domain. The contribution of Dr. Indumathi G and Dr. Cyril Prasanna Raj P as Principal Investigators has been pivotal in achieving this milestone, further strengthening the department’s foundation in semiconductor research and embedded system design. In addition, the department actively engages in industry collaborations that enhance the learning experience. It is part of the Samsung PRISM Internship Program, where 6th and 8th semester students work on RISC-V platform-based projects, gaining exposure to next-generation computing technologies. Furthermore, through collaborations with Synopsys and Nanochip Solutions, students receive specialized training in VLSI design and SoC development, equipping them with vital industry-ready competencies.
Recognized as one of the top ECE departments in Karnataka, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering remains committed to fostering a culture of research, innovation, and industry partnership. With a mission to create globally competent professionals and future innovators, the department continues to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of technology and society.
