other forms of energy and to run many different types of modern-day appliances and machines. Electricity and its applications also play a vital role in improving living conditions of the people and powering many different industries.

Thus, the graduates of electrical engineering are considered to be crucial manpower for generation and utilization of electricity. The job opportunities for these graduates are also considerable in both public as well as private sector organizations and industries. The degree course of electrical engineering has been designed and periodically revised to enable the young engineers to work in their respective fields/branches with confidence and to pursue advanced studies and research if they so wish. The courses are being taught and adequately supplemented through practical training in the laboratories and demonstrations at the related sites and plants. The laboratory facilities include; electrical measurement, circuits, electrical machines, power electronics and control, high voltage and computer systems. In some cases the students are also sent to the laboratories of other departments and to the Mechanical Engineering Workshop for practical training.

The Department of Electrical Engineering also offers postgraduate courses and research programs leading to Post Graduate Diploma (P.G.D.), Master of Engineering in Electrical Power (M.E.), Master of Philosophy (M. Phil.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). These programs are organized under the Directorate of Postgraduate Studies.
