Electrical Communication Engineering: -
The department has four major specialization areas.
Communication and Networking: - Network test bed labs with Cisco routers, wireless LAN devices, link and traffic emulaters, miniature wireless sensors, and several reconfigurable PCs; ERNET network operations centre; protocol engineering & testing software; network simulation software: ns2, OPNET, Qualnet.
Signal Processing: - Speech and audio lab with facility for realtime multichannel audio processing using RME sound cards and Yamaha mixer; various speech data bases, noise databases, and music instrument databases; Wireless Sensor Networks lab with facility for real-time signal processing experiments with TI code composer studio + fine EVMs based on C62xx and C67xx DSPs; special facilities for wireless sensor signal processing: 3GHz spectrum analyzer, RF transceiver boards, Wi-Fi access Points/cards, wireless camera, RFID transponders, GPS kits, MEMS accelerometer chips; biomedical lab with facilities for recording and processing of ECE and ECG signals.
Microwave Engineering: - RFMEMS, Antennas, Microwave Circuits, Terahertz System Nano electronics and VLSI
Nano electronics and VLSI:
Photonics: -
This institute offers following programmes:
(i) Research Programme [Ph.D / M.Sc (Engg)]
(ii) Course Programme [ME /M.Tech /M.Des / M.Mgt]
(iii) Integrated Ph.D Programme and
(iv) External Registration Programme (Ph D only).
The Institute admits about 350 students every year for its various programmes.
Eligibility
The minimum requirement is a degree with second class and valid GATE score for General and OBC candidates. Pass class with valid GATE score for SC/ST candidates.
Admission Procedure: -
The process is different for all the four programs (ME/M-TECH/MS/MSc) offered by IISC.
The Application form can be downloaded from official website of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on the next day of declaration of the GATE result.
IISc entrance test (independent of GATE) – month of April.
Last date to apply- Generally one week after the notification.
ME: -
The admission is purely based on Gate Performance (AIR/Score). There is no test and interview. Rank below 50(AIR 50) can almost guarantee a seat in ME Course.
M-TECH: -
Admission to this program is based on the performance in test and interview conducted by respective department. Centre of Electronic Design and Technology (CEDT) and Computational Science department offer M.Tech Course. A rank of 400 - 500 in EC/CS/EE can be said safe range for getting the call for CEDT Course whereas rank in the range of 80 - 90 is considered to be safe for getting call from Computational Science department. The admission is purely based on Gate Performance (AIR/Score). There is no test and interview. A rank below 50 can almost guarantee a seat in ME Course.
MS/MSc:
These are research-orientated programs and admission to these programs is also based on test/interview. Rank as high as 700-800 could end up in giving an interview call for these programs. IISC also conducts its own entrance test and good performance (Score/rank) in this test will also be helpful in getting the interview calls if Gate Score is not sufficient enough for applying.
