| About the Department


One of the oldest departments in IIT Madras, Electrical Engineering department offers both B Tech and Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering. From the basics of resistors and battery circuits, the course structure goes into the development of microprocessors and huge electrical machines used in factories. With the advancement in IoT, the field of electrical engineering is an integral part of several other fields. Alumni from the department have not only joined major Tech giants like Samsung and Intel, but have also joined ISRO. Students have secured admissions into universities like Stanford, UCB, Harvard, Georgia Tech and University of Michigan. Students may also choose to specialise in Applied Mathematics, Mechatronics, Machine Learning and Computer Vision giving them versatility not available in most other courses.

| Message from the Head of Department

Our faculty work across a wide spectrum of areas, from communications, power systems, microelectronics, instrumentation, photonics and circuit design, to control and optimisation. In today's world, products and ideas rarely belong to a single discipline, and the breadth of expertise within our large department ensures that we cover all domains of importance in electrical engineering. Expertise here is not just in theory, it is recognised and demonstrated. Our faculty include numerous award winners, journal editors and leaders in professional societies, and or alumni have distinguished themselves across academia, industry and entrepreneurship. This knowledge translates into impact: conducting cutting-edge research, developing innovative solutions for industry, and transferring technology to start-ups. Whether you are a prospective student, collaborator, industry partner, or visitor, I look forward to welcoming you to our department and to the exciting possibilites it offers.
