About The Department

Since its conception in the year of 1912-13 the Department of Electrical

Engineering at IIEST, Shibpur (erstwhile Bengal Engineering College) has always
strived to nurture and enlighten young minds so that they can become the
thinkers and planners of tomorrow. The transformation of enthusiastic
aspirants into diligent working professionals, through learning is at the core of
the department.
With its focus on holistic development of each student, the department
provides a dynamic environment that provides each student the ability to
learn independently or in collaboration with their teachers. The faculty is some
of the best in the country, in terms of experience and innovation and their
works have also been published in peer-reviewed journals or prestigious
international conferences. A number of them have also implemented state-of-
the-art R&D projects and have also produced patents.
The Department produced its first batch of graduate electrical engineers in
1936. The postgraduate degree was first offered in 1955 and the first Ph.D.
scholar from the department came out in 1959. Currently, the department
offers an 8-semester undergraduate B.Tech course, a 10-semester dual degree
(B.Tech and M.Tech) course and a 4-semester postgraduate M.Tech degree
course in Electrical Engineering.

Vision of the Department

To attain a position of international excellence and leadership in

education and research activities related to Electrical Engineering.
To provide a dynamic and scholarly environment wherein students
learn independently and in collaboration with others to develop a
disciplined as well as an innovative approach to their careers as
industry-ready engineers, researchers or teachers. To ensure that every
student is aware of his/her role and responsibilities in industry and to a
greater extent to the society through appropriate exposure to ethics,
equity, public, and worker safety, and health considerations, together
with the concepts of sustainable development and environmental
stewardship.
