The Group, consisting of 16 faculty members, actively pursues various research areas: Wireless Communication, Microwave RF, Antenna, Signal Processing, Fiber Optics and Photonics, Communication Networks, Computer Vision, Media processing, Image Processing.
Read MoreThe activities of the Control and Computing Group include Automatic control, Computational methods for systems theory, Graph and matroid decompositions, Cryptography and coding theory, Dynamical systems, Grobner basis methods.
Read MoreAn important aspect of the group's program is the integration of power electronics with the study of power systems. The group is actively providing research and development support for the national electric power infrastructure.
Read MoreThe research areas being pursued by the Electronic Systems Group are Embedded System design, Signal processing, Biomedical Electronics, Electronic Instrumentation, and Audio and Speech Processing.
Read MoreThe research, teaching and learning activities in EE6 specialization are focused on techniques for design and development of integrated circuits for various applications including microprocessor architectures, RF and millimeter wave IC design, electronic and photonic IC design for high-speed wireline and optical interconnects, and FPGA based designs for AI/ML applications.
Read MoreAt 16 faculty members and growing, this is the largest devices group in the country. Research follows three major trends: "More Moore" (transistor and memory scaling), "More-than-Moore" (RF electronics, sensors, power electronics), and "Beyond Moore" (quantum technologies and neuromorphic computing).
Read MoreRules, Thesis & Support
Thesis
Students are encouraged to approach faculty members in their specialization for discussing potential thesis research topics. One year of thesis work is required for a successful completion of the Master's degree. The thesis must lead to work of reputably publishable, patentable, or deployable technology.
Thesis guidelines →Guidance & Support
Students in their first year are advised by a faculty advisor for their specialization and year of admission. During the thesis research, the thesis advisor (supervisor) is the main counsel. Additionally, students can approach DPGC and other bodies for special cases of support.
PG Rule Book →Internships & Placements
M.Tech students are generally not allowed to go for summer internships due to the short duration of the programme. Students usually sit for job placements towards the end of their second-last semester.
Placement portal →Fees & Financial Support
Fees and other expenses are based on those set centrally by IIT Bombay. Limited scholarships for meritorious students from humble backgrounds may be available. In addition to TA and RA stipends, students can pursue various fellowships based on their research proposals.
