How good is IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering (Power and Automation)?

IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering department has a number of branches like

• Communication Engineering (Communications Group, Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi)
• Control and Automation (Control & Automation)
• Computer Technology (Computer Technology)
• Integrated Electronics Circuits (Integrated Electronics and Circuits)
• Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Drives (Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, and Drives)
• Power Systems

This allows Electrical Engineering students to choose from a wide range of topics and they don’t have to restrict their area of interest. However, to provide core electrical engineering education and research opportunities, there is a separate Electrical specialization in Power and Automation.

Owing to the small batch size and top-notch lab facilities, IIT Delhi’s Electrical department is highly coveted and is funded by Industry donations and partnerships. The performance rate of the students of this department has been increasing over the past few years and these students continue to perform well in each batch. 

However, it is important to note that academic rigor is high in this department and requires a high level of commitment. But your efforts don’t go wasted because of the excellent packages offered to the students of this branch.
