Electronics & Communication Engineering

To sustain our number one position in the world in software, we need to complement our growth by providing robust hardware (body) to the software (soul). Recognising the needs of the time, RIT has taken a lead by establishing Texas Instruments Centre of Excellence for Robotics, Internet of things and Data Science to become the “Only Institute in Uttarakhand” to have such a unique and centralized facility at its campus.

The initiative taken by the E&C Department of RIT has become the most popular Centre of Excellence which is catering to the diversified needs of virtually all the other departments located within RIT campus.

The collective work of RIT students and its faculties in this lab has won many accolades for the institute, by winning back to back awards of being the “Best institute in the field of Excellence and Innovation in Robotics Education” – STEM Awards 2020 conferred by All India Council of Robotics and Automation. The Award was given by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Cabinet Minister, Govt. of India. In the year 2019 also, RIT had won a parallel award for its outstanding initiative of the year in robotics.

It has also collaborated with IIT Ropar to create Smarter Planet Centre of Excellence with LoRa Devices for research in 5G technology in the field of Communication and providing opportunities of internship to its students.

The implementation of Industry 4.0 has given a lot of thrust to the adoption of new manufacturing techniques and automation. E&C Department has also created the Prolific Centre of Excellence for Automation that will help the students of other engineering disciplines also to use the facility and promote their indispensable plant and process design and management skills.
