Program Description	Optoelectronics has been deemed as the 21st century revolutionary technology that will create as enormous an impact as electronics did in the 20th century. This interdisciplinary M.Tech programme aims to generate trained professionals in the broad areas of optoelectronics and communications with an emphasis on networking technologies. One half of the courses are core ones and the other half are electives, that enable students to pursue areas that have their academic interest. The core courses give a strong background of science and engineering. These are supplemented with laboratory courses, enabling the students to take up project work in the second year. Graduates with training in optoelectronics and related communication technologies will be useful in industries and R&D organizations involved in the areas of Optoelectronics, telecommunication & networks. Program Objective The M.Tech program in Optoelectronics and Communications is unique in its content, bridging the gap between academia and industry. The program equips the students with a strong foundation in understanding the physics and technology of modern networking and communications systems along with hands-on training. Electives, soft skill training, Industrial visits and Industry live projects undertaken by students prepares them for entry into the corporate world with ease. The host of electives under three different streams enables students to specialize and learn advanced concepts in a particular area and become self sufficient to enter specific industry. Above all healthy teacher-student interactions coupled with constant inputs from alumni ensure that students develop into individually competent, collectively compatible and socially responsible citizens.
