STRENGTHS –

It aims at producing qualified engineers in the areas of Industrial Electronics, Biomedical Signal

processing, process control instrumentation and Virtual Instrumentation. This is an advanced

branch of engineering in which students are trained to handle any situation associated with

instrumentation and is widely developing to involve day to day life activities. This branch offers

a wide range of job opportunities. There is hardly any area of Engineering, Science and

Technology where Instrumentation in one form or the other is not needed.

The scope of instrumentation engineering is vast, and is fast growing, in part due to the increased

use of automatic control in manufacturing and process plants. Growth is also tied to the

development of more accurate and more robust sensors, which allow us to detect phenomena of

interest (such as the presence of minute levels of toxins in food) with much higher precision than

what we could do a generation ago.

Various Scholarships to a large number of students.

Placement and career guidance.

Scholar Support Programme (SSP) for needy students

Remedial coaching was arranged for academically weaker students

Community extension programmes through Mobile Science & Technology.
