Another feather in its crown, the M.E. course in VLSI and Embedded Systems is expected to start in September 2010.

Mr.Sudhendra Kulkarni, student of first batch passed out from this department secured 4th rank in the B.E (Electronics and Telecommunications) final year examinations. Mr. Ayushmaan Basu secured 7th rank in university BE E&TC exam in 2008-09. Results of all classes are consistently good and always been higher than average university results.

Students are encouraged to participate in co curricular and extra curricular activities. Department has IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering ,USA) students branch. They organize lecture series and work shops in recent advances in technology by eminent personalities from Industry and academia which includes IIT’s. Every year IEEE students branch organize state level technical competition called “PERCEPTION”. Last year around 1300 students from different colleges from Maharashtra participate in 10 events.

Every year students participate in national level competitions like ROBOCON, Techfest etc. The students are also participate and flourish in prestigious competitions like Purushottam and Firodiya Karandak.

Students from department have been placed in multinational companies like Infosys , L & T , Cognizant Technologies , Persistant systems , KPIT Infosys ,Zensar Technologies , IBM , Wipro Technologies, Fidelity International, Accenture , Erricson, BMC software etc. In last 4 year 180 students have been recruited through campus interviews.

Department conducts minimum three short term training programs every year for staff development. Staff members are also involved in consultation and research project. The MOU’s are signed with Maharashtra Jevan Pradhikaran , Wavelet Technology, YU Technologies ,Sangli and Prime Technologies ,Pune for consulation and development of projects. Two research projects are sanctioned by university of Pune. Presently the staff is working for research and consultation projects of worth Rs. 14 Lakhs. Staff members also have patents for their innovations.
