PROGRAMME:
The Department of Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering (EIE) was established in the year 1999. The department offers the following programmes:

a) Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics & Instrumentation Engg.) under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University (Formerly Agra University) two batches have graduated i.e. in the year 2003.

b) In Bachelor of Technology of Mahamaya Technical University, a 4-Year B.Tech. Degree Programme, the students are admitted through Engineering Entrance Test (SEE) of the State Government. Diploma holders are admitted in III semester, under the lateral entry provision with the approval of Director of Technical Education, U.P. as per policy guidelines of AICTE / State Govt.

Governance:
The Department is managed & governed through an interactive atmosphere involving all the stake holders (students, parents, faculties & Industry etc.). Based on the guide lines of the governing body & academic council of the college, the Department has an autonomous functioning under the supervision of the Departmental advisory board, which has two academic nominees of the department and three representatives from the industries and 2 academicians from out side. The advisory board looks at the department through eight functions each managed by two to three faculty members. The different functions are:

	Academic Planning & Administration
	Lab & Curriculum Development.
	Faculty Development & Staff Training.
	Teaching, Learning, Monitoring & Evaluation.
	Training. & Placement
	Proctorial System & Student Discipline
	Student’s Projects & Industry/Institution Interaction.
	Research & Development.

The advisory committee plans and organizes the academic inputs through judicious use of different laboratory facilities, introduction of the contemporary technologies through continuous syllabus revision and creation of other infrastructure needs, to keep pace with the changing technologies and needs. The committee meets at least once in academic year, deliberates and gives its recommendations to the department. The department forwards the recommendations of the advisory committee to the college administration for approval. After securing the approval and the financial sanctions from the college governing council, the department implements those recommendations. This facilitates bringing in improvements that support the teaching – learning process. Value additions to the existing courses are done through this process.
