Department of Electrical Engineering

The academic objective of the School of Electrical Engineering is to produce high caliber Electrical Engineers capable of making immediate contribution to industry and take responsibility of the development, design, construction, application and operation of devices and systems. The School takes pride in the fact that its alumni are placed in responsible positions with various central and state government bodies, PSUs in India, and in the private sector both within the country and outside. The School has also been instrumental in producing highly qualified engineering teachers and researchers through its Masters and Doctoral programmes. The success of the B. Tech. programme can be gauged from the fact that a large number of the graduating students have been placed in core sector companies in addition to those in the IT and ITeS sector. Several of the School's alumni are now pursuing post graduate or doctoral studies in US universities.

Broad areas of research include power system economic operation, optimal load flow, flexible AC transmission system, HVDC transmission, vector control of AC drives, power quality, selective harmonic elimination and non conventional energy sources. Recently, the school has bagged a consultancy project from Reliance Energy on consumer indexing at power distribution level in Jajpur Road (Odisha).
