About
Department

The Department of Industrial Automation, formerly recognized as Instrumentation Engineering, was established in 1998, is a leading choice for education in Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering, with an annual intake of 60 undergraduates and 18 postgraduates. It serves as the exclusive Ph.D. research center for Instrumentation Engineering, reflecting a commitment to advancing knowledge. The department comprises a team of 20 highly qualified faculty members, each possessing postgraduate and doctorate qualifications from esteemed institutions like IITs, NITs, and other renowned government institutes.

Our well-equipped laboratories feature state-of-the-art equipment tailored to meet both curriculum and industry standards. Emphasizing practical learning, we continually invest in advanced software and industry-grade equipment, including specialized labs such as the Internet of Things (IoT) Lab, Transducers Lab, Control Lab, Process Lab, Computational Lab, Project Lab, Industrial Automation Lab, Analytical, and Biomedical Lab. These facilities are consistently updated to ensure students have access to cutting-edge resources.Collaborating with industry leaders, we are establishing an Industry-standard Process and DCS Lab. The Computational Lab features cutting-edge software tools.

Our collaborative effort has resulted in our students securing positions through campus recruitment processes in renowned industries such as Johnson Control India, Schneider Electric, Jindal Steel Pvt. Ltd, Reliance Oil, Deepak Fertilizers, Worley India, AFCONS Infrastructure, Sterling & Wilson, B&R Industrial Automation, Supertech Instrumentation Pvt.
