Also houses meaningful tie-ups with organisations like IEEE and ISRO to provide fruitful placement and internship opportunities.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Course syllabus was revised and updated for each academic year. Few topics were added and some topics which had less weightage was removed accordingly. Industrial exposure was provided in abundance. Sometimes in the form of workshops, internships or apprenticeships and also by making mini projects as a part of curriculum. Ms. Manjula T. R. was one such faculty who believed that learning does not need to stick with the conventional book way. She used real-time scenarios and statistics to authenticate her information. She used to provide us insights about the upcoming seminars and DIY workshops and mini digital projects which we could work on to increase our knowledge on the same topics.
Internships Opportunities :
Applied for an apprenticeship program under assistant professor. She was pursuing her master's program and I had to assist heron her research related to image processing and remote sensing devices. This apprenticeship was associated with ISRO as we needed confidential satellite information for the research. Profile assigned was apprentice engineer. The duration was of 6 months with a stipend of Rs. 10000 per month.

PG availability is limited around campus, so it's preferred to stay in hostel.
