Dept. of Electrical & Electronics Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), established in 1997, offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes, with specializations in Computer Systems and Electric Vehicles. The department also offers minor degrees in Electric Vehicle Technology and Renewable Energy Sources, along with an Honours degree in Smart Grid Technologies.
Over the years, the department has achieved several significant milestones, including NBA accreditation and the establishment of an AICTE IDEA Lab with a grant of ₹90 lakh. The department has a faculty team with 100% Ph.D. qualifications, comprising 18 recognized Ph.D. supervisors. It currently has 21 research scholars and has produced 19 Ph.D. graduates.
The department has made significant contributions to research and innovation, with 1440 Scopus-indexed publications, including 50 Q1 publications, 3,157 citations, an h-index of 24, and nine granted patents. Its research activities have been supported by grants amounting to ₹27.03 lakh from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and ₹9.10 lakh from EDII-TN. Faculty members have also secured innovation grants and contributed to patents, research publications, and technology development in areas such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, smart grids, and assistive technologies.
In addition to its academic and research achievements, the department actively promotes student excellence through industry placements, competitive examinations, higher education opportunities, innovation competitions, and participation in national-level events, where students have earned notable achievements.
These accomplishments reflect the department’s continued commitment to academic excellence, research and innovation, industry collaboration, and outcome-based education, while preparing students to meet emerging technological challenges and contribute to sustainable societal development.
