The department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering was established in the year 1981 with a sanctioned intake of 30 students. In view of future demand in this field the intake was increased to 60 in 1986, 90 in the years 2000 and 120 in the year 2001. The post graduate program in Electronics Engineering was started with a sanctioned intake of 18 in 1987. From AY 2015-16 the strength is now increased to 30. In addition to the existing M.Tech. course, a new PG course - M.Tech.(Embedded Systems and VLSI Design) - has been started from AY 2015-16.
The department was accredited by NBA in February 2003 and June 2008. The faculty is well qualified, dynamic and experienced. The department is consistently achieving good academic results. The placement on the campus of the department is progressively increasing in autonomy. The department has strong research groups in digital signal and image processing, speech processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, VLSI Design and Embedded Systems. We offer Ph.D. Scholarships for deserving students under QIP/TEQIP/TEQIP/Center of Excellence/Visvesvaraya schemes.
The department offers following programmes:
| Programme | Type of the Programme | Duration | Strength | Year of Starting |
| B.Tech. | Full Time | 4 Years | 120 | 1981 |
| M.Tech.(Electronics) | Full Time | 2 Years | 30 | 1987 |
| M.Tech.(Electronics) | Full Time | 2 Years | 18 | 2015 |
Research programme leading to Ph.D. is also offered. (under Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwade University, Nanded)
The faculty members are having many research papers in national and international journals and conferences to their credit. The department is having strong backup of qualified supporting staff to support the laboratory work. The department receives funds from various agencies for Research and Development such as AICTE, DST, and State government. Many faculty members are acting on various committees such as AICTE, NBA, BOS, RRC of various universities etc. They are also reviewers for many international journals including IEEE, IET, Elsevier, and Springer.
The department is a recognized research centre for of Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Nanded since 1995. The department is also recognized research centre under QIP with sanctioned intake of 02 from the academic year 2012-2013. The department is having close association with academic institutes like IIT, Mumbai, IIT, Kharagpur, IIT, Roorkee, IIT, Delhi, VNIT, Nagpur, and few other NITs. The department has signed MOU with Texas Instruments, Bangalore for project work.
The department has a good academic culture and conducive working environment for teaching learning, research and development and extension services. The department boasts well equipped laboratories in the area of VLSI, Embedded Systems, Signal and Image processing. The equipment in the these laboratories has been procured from the funding of state government and the AICTE funded projects under the category of TAPTEC, MODROB and R&D, DST projects. The department is encouraging the faculty members to avail the sponsored projects funded. We received DST-FIST grant to the tune of 47.5 lakhs for improvement of PG laboratory facilities. The infrastructure is sufficient to achieve the academic excellence.
The department conducts regularly faculty and staff development programs under the AICTE/ISTE/TEQIP/Center of Excellence schemes for the benefit of faculty members of various engineering colleges. Experts from IIT/NIT/R&D Labs/industry are regularly contributing to these courses. The aim of conducting these course is to update the knowledge of all the concerned in the advanced technological area. This is helping us in developing good interaction with industry and research and development laboratories of national repute.
