Electrical Engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It’s an undergraduate Electrical Engineering course. The time period of the course is four years and it deals with the study of generation, distribution and transmission of electrical power. It also covers a range of sub-disciplines such as power, instrumentation, analogue digital electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications. The B.E. (Electrical Engineering) degree program lays strong and detailed emphasis on understanding of electrical networks, electrical energy converters, electromagnetic field theory and related devices, electrical energy distribution systems etc.
Electrical Engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and microelectronics. The subject of electronic engineering is often treated as its own sub-field but it intersects with all the other sub-fields, including the power electronics of power engineering.
Eligibility criteria for Electrical Engineering {B.E}:
- Candidate must be qualifying 10+2/HSC Board or equivalent examination, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics .
- Selection to the B.E. (Electrical Engineering) degree course is based on marks secured in the final merit i.e. total marks aggregated in the final exams of 10+2 and the entrance exams. such as All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE), Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) etc.
- A Joint entrance Exam (JEE) is conducted by Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in the country. The entrance to the IITs can be secured only after clearing this JEE.
- An examination is also conducted by the Associate Membership of the Institute of Engineers (AMIE), which enables working people in the private/public sector and diploma holders to acquire a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering through distance education. The degree awarded is considered equivalent to a regular Electrical Engineering {B.E.} degree.
Academic criterion of Electrical Engineering {B.E}:
The academic criterion of Electrical Engineering is divided into three courses/programmes as follows:
- Diploma courses leading to the polytechnic diploma of 3 years duration. (after 10th or 12th)
- UG courses leading to the B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) degree of 4 years duration. (after 12th)
- PG courses leading to the M.Tech (Master of Technology) degree of 2 years duration. (after Graduation)
- Beside these, it is one of the broad research fields leading to the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) degree.
- For entering in PG (M.Tech) programme, B.Tech in Electrical Engineering is must.
