Discontinued (Jul 2023)- B.Tech. in Applied Electronics and Communication Engineering at JNU

Discontinued (Jul 2023)- B.Tech. in Applied Electronics and Communication Engineering at JNU in Delhi, Delhi is a 4-year undergraduate programme. Each year's batch has 330 seats. Fees for the full course come to ₹1.51 lakh – ₹5.51 lakh (roughly ₹38,000 a year).

The course is about circuits, signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, microprocessors and VLSI design.

JNU is a other institute, founded in 1966. This page brings together what is on record for this course at JNU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means circuits, signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, microprocessors and VLSI design. Typical first jobs: electronics engineer, embedded engineer, telecom or semiconductor roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask JNU for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at JNU as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with JNU before you pay anything.

For admission to Discontinued (Jul 2023)- B.Tech. in Applied Electronics and Communication Engineering, you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at JNU are: X: 0.0, XII: 45.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check JNU's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

The admission process usually runs like this:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to JNU on its website (www.jnu.ac.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.

Going by the latest placement record (2023) show an average package of ₹11 lakh and a highest package of ₹33 lakh at JNU. These are college-wide figures, not only for this specialisation.

Placement numbers vary a lot by year and by branch. Ask the placement cell for the branch-wise report of the last two batches.

JNU runs 8 B.Tech specialisations in all. The others you can compare it with:
