FACULTY OF ENGINEERING &

Electrical Engineering
Department
Previously belonging to the College of Engineering and
Technology, N.C.E. Bengal, Electrical Engineering is one of the
oldest departments of Jadavpur University being established in the
year 1906. Over the years it has grown into a department of the
national repute and importance.
All the time, during the past 40 years, the Department is
contributing significantly in the relevant fields through the works
of its teachers, research scholars and in the professional fields by
the student s passing out .The Department has revamped and
replenished it s curriculum and course structure to keep pace with
the present day needs of the subjects, associated industries and the
country at large; The Department is basically centred around six
different sectional laboratories which play the role of nuclei.
In Support of its appreciation, the department was selected by
UGC for DSA programme in 1983. The Department also received COSIST
funding in 1987 from UGC. Finally, UGC recognised the high quality
of research, teaching and industrial collaborations in the form of
consultancy, testing and calibration jobs, perused in the
Department, by elevating the Department to the status of Centre of
Advanced Studies in 1990.
Electrical Engineering Department received recognition for its
excellent service to engineering teaching and research when UGC
granted DSA funding in 1983. The success of this Department in
achieving the goals of DSA lead to sanctioning COSIST grant of UGC
to this department in 1987. Considering the successful utilization
of funds granted and the significant contribution made in the
related field, this department was recognized by UGC and Center for
Advanced Studies (CAS) in 1990. Sustained efforts of the department
bore further fruits in the year 2000 when DST, GOI provided
significant financial support to this department under its FIST
program. In 2002, Department received AICTE grant MODROB
Moderization of Illumination Laboratory in E.E. Dept.
