M.Tech in Electrical Engineering with Specializations

M. Tech in Electrical Engineering has the following three specializations that the students choose during the admission:

1. Microelectronics and VLSI
2. Communication, Signal Processing and ML (CSPML)
3. Power electronics and Power systems  

It is a two year programme with one year project work. The curriculum is broad enough to get enough exposure to many areas of electrical engineering while specializing in one of the streams mentioned above. This enables the students to work on interdisciplinary and industry relevant projects. Further, the students are encouraged to do internships in the industry. Admissions will be conducted once per year. At the time of admission, students will be admitted to one of the specializations listed above. In the first year, students will have to take courses and the second year will comprise of MTP I and MTP II. The courses are divided into core theory courses, core lab courses and elective courses. These elective courses are further divided into three baskets or pools corresponding to three specializations mentioned above. A student has to earn at least 131 credits, out of which

• At least 18 credits should be from core theory courses

• At least 3 credits from core lab courses

• 4 credits come from a mandatory seminar course

To successfully complete the M. Tech degree, a student should complete at least 24 credits from one of the three baskets or pools of elective courses provided. In particular, the basket from which a student should choose his/her electives is dependent on the specialization that the student has chosen. For example, a student with the CSPML specialization should choose 24 credits of electives from the basket named Communication, Signal Processing and Machine learning.

• The 18 credits can be chosen from any basket (in addition to core theory, core lab and seminar credits) or outside the department courses subject to the following requirements

  • A student can take up to two electives (12 credits) from outside the department to meet their elective credits requirements. These electives must be at level 600 or above (PG level courses).

  • A student can take at most 1 UG elective (6 credits), i.e., 300 or above Level course to meet their elective credits requirements.

• 64 credits from MTP I and MTP II (32 credits each).

List of courses

The core theory courses are (6 credits each)

1. EE 634 Linear Algebra and its applications

2. EE 690 Embedded systems Design 

3. EE 629 Probability models and applications

4. EE 622 Multivariable Control Systems

The student (regardless of the specialization) has to take at least 3 out of these 4 courses to complete the core theory course requirements.

The core lab courses are (3 credits each)

1. EE 615 Embedded systems Design lab 
2. EE 616 VLSI Simulations Lab 

The student (regardless of the specialization)  has to take at least 1 out of these 2 lab courses to complete the core lab course requirements.
