Add-on Courses

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) offers a range of add-on programmes to supplement the B. Tech curriculum and enhance students’ technical skills. These programmes are designed to make students industry-ready and employable at the time of graduation. The add-on programmes are conducted with the support of internal faculty as well as external industry experts. Students who successfully complete the programmes are awarded certificates.
