Annual report 2023-24
1.1 Introduction:
Department of Electrical Engineering is one of the enriched and primogenital branches of engineering of the
National Institute of Technology (NIT), Agartala (formerly Tripura Engineering College, Govt. of Tripura). This
Department has been fulfilling the need of the state Tripura as well as the nation by developing technical
manpower in Electrical Engineering field since its inception in 1965. In this long 65 years of journey, being a
pivotal branch of the then Tripura Engineering College, this department has witnessed many ups and downs. Still,
it has produced a great number of capable electrical engineers who in turn spread their talent around various parts
of the globe thereby enhancing the image of the institute in general and branch in particular.
The Electrical Engineering Department started with an annual intake of 20 seats in 1965 and consecutively
increased to 40 in 1981. After conversion from Tripura Engineering College into National Institute of
Technology (NIT) in 2006, the intake has been increased to 90 and in the year 2019 annual intake has been
increased to 125.
Electrical Engineering Department has progressed noticeably with annual intake of 125 for 4 years (8 semesters)
B.Tech program and annual intake of 64 for 2 years (4 semesters) M. Tech. program. Apart from B.Tech and M.
Tech. program, Electrical Engineering department started Ph.D program from 2008 academic session.
Considering the aspiration of the students and keeping in view of employment opportunity and prospect for
research career, Department has been offering four specializations in M.Tech program, namely (a) Power
Electronics & Drives (b) Instrumentation (c) Power System, and (d) Integrated Energy System. Further, excellent
responses are obtained for Ph.D program. Several candidates from academic arena and industry show their
interests for pursuing their Ph.D work in the Department of Electrical Engineering and enroll their names in the
program. At present 19 nos. (Part Time:7, Full Time: 10, Thesis submitted: 2), candidates are carrying out their
Ph.D work in the department. The department has awarded 02 (seven) Ph.D degree in this academic year.
The number of students enrolled in Electrical Engineering Department during academic session 2023-24 is as
follows:
