Message from the HOD

Dr. R.P. Kumudini Devi

PROFESSOR

          Our University has an outstanding reputation for teaching, its student centred approach to learning, its research, its record of graduate employment. A wide range of programmes in the department demonstrates the harmony of research and teaching as well as various issues, problems, challenges - solutions which will shape all our futures. Every year the Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineering organisers conduct inter departmental event named “Ripples” and national level technical event, named “Waves” which has been widely recognized. Also the students society brings out a magazine by name “Impulse”. These technical events pave the way for the students to face technical challenges that they may come across their working environments in the near future with great confidence. This also improves their technical skills, communication skills and employability skills.
