Why is electronic engineering not at IIT Kanpur?

At IIT Kanpur, the wider domain namely, Electrical Engineering is offered and not Electronic Engineering. While most IITs EE is further divided into subdomains, IIT Kanpur believes in covering a broader scope rather than an in-depth one. The wide scope enables students to explore almost everything h and then decide where their interest lies. 

Electrical Engineering itself is made up of many fields like Signal Processing, Communication Systems, Microelectronics, and Power Electronics broadly. It’s not justified if a person acquired knowledge of only one specific field when in reality, all subdomains are interconnected. 

Electronic Engineering is not a separate branch at IIT Kanpur but is definitely taught here. The flexible curriculum makes it possible for students to choose from a plethora of electives and customize their academic templates accordingly.

Basically, IIT Kanpur believes that students identify their area of interest by exploring other domains and not studying the subdomains only!
