Electronics and Communication Engineering deals with electronic devices, circuits, and communication equipment like transmitters, receivers, and Integrated circuits (IC). It also deals with basic electronics, analogue and digital transmission & reception of data, voice and video, microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae, and wave propagation. It aims to deepen the knowledge and skills of the students on the basic concepts and theories that will equip them in their professional work involving analysis, systems implementation, operation, production, and maintenance of the various applications in the field of Electronics and Communications Engineering. As a discipline, ECE focuses on the design of hardware systems with a broad emphasis on design aspects of electronic systems with cross-training opportunities for students across disciplinary boundaries.

The Department of ECE at VKCET was established in 2009 with an intake of 60 students per year with provision for lateral entry students. The Department is full-fledged with 7 labs with state-of-art technology, higher-end digitized equipment and a 1:1 student to PC ratio connected by high-speed LAN and Wi-Fi. We have our lab with a PCB design and fabrication facility for students to do mini projects and main projects on the campus itself compared to other new-generation colleges.

We have 12 permanent faculty members with 4 supporting staff. All faculty are well qualified in a wide spectrum of specializations including Masters in Communication System, VLSI Design, Optical Communication, Signal Processing, Applied Electronics, Microwave Engineering, Electronics, Instrumentation, etc from well-reputed colleges inside and outside Kerala including IIT, CET, CUSAT, Dept. of Optoelectronics (KU), TKM, etc. The faculty members of ECE have completed 30+ National and International conference papers organized by IEEE, OSA, etc.

Our alumni are either working in Electronics and IT sector companies or in Government Sectors. In addition to that, an ample number opted out to do Research after their higher studies.
