The Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) department seeks to prepare students to undertake careers involving innovation and problem solving using suitable techniques and hardware and software technologies, or to undertake advanced studies for research careers. The undergraduate program (BTech) is based around core courses from varied ECE streams with the possibility of graduation in following streams such as Signal & Image Processing, Communications Systems/Networking, Circuits and Systems, Computer Engineering, RF and Applied Electromagnetic, Embedded Systems/Controls.

The objective of the B.Tech. program in Electronics and VLSI Engineering (EVE) is to prepare students to undertake careers involving innovation and problem solving using suitable techniques and hardware and software technologies, or to undertake advanced studies for research careers. In order to give due importance to applied as well as theoretical aspects of EVE, the curriculum for the B.Tech. (EVE) program covers most of the foundational aspects and also develops in students the engineering skills for problem solving. Towards this, the B.Tech. (EVE) program at IIIT-Delhi starts with computing and Electronics courses first, and allows the possibility of doing science courses later. Besides being better suited for developing engineering capabilities, it also enables the possibility of students seeing newer applications and possibilities of using computing and electronics in these subjects.

The department offers two specialized masters' program namely MTech (VLSI & ES) and MTech (CSP). The VLSI & ES program has been developed in close coordination with STMicroelectronics. The structure of the course enables students to be industry ready and the students have been able to obtain multiple offers immediately upon graduation. The students specialize in following distinct directions such as Digital VLSI, Analog and Mixed Signal Design, RF Design, and Embedded Systems. The MTech (CSP) is a cross disciplinary program with the possibility of specialization in diverse directions such as Optimization, Biomedical Imaging, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Forensics, Wireless Networks, Optical Communication, and Wireless Communication. The students are trained to be industry ready and have been hired by prominent employers in the recent past. In addition, the students graduating from these masters' program have got admission in doctoral programs at the leading institutions in the country and abroad.

The Ph.D. program at ECE Department, IIIT-Delhi is focused towards research like any other Ph.D. program - limited coursework to enhance the breadth and depth of a student, followed by focused research. Some of the key features of this program are:

• 1. Being a focused program, it allows a motivated and hardworking student to finish in as early as 4 years, subject to fulfilling the degree requirements.
• 2. Following the best practices in several universities around the world, fresh BTech graduates are encouraged to apply. Neither a master's degree nor GATE is mandatory for the application process.
• 3. The institute provides attractive compensation – the stipend is Rs.35,000 per month until successfully completing the comprehensive exam and Rs.37,000 per month since completing comprehensive exam until completion of 5th year.
• 4. The institute provides support to present papers in national and international conferences.
