Discontinued (Jul2023)-B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Part Time) at MIT Chennai

If you are looking at Discontinued (Jul2023)-B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Part Time), MIT Chennai in Chennai runs it as a 4-year, full-time undergraduate course. Fees for the full course come to ₹3.29 lakh – ₹5.18 lakh (roughly ₹82,000 a year).

At its core, the programme covers circuits, signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, microprocessors and VLSI design.

MIT Chennai is a public/government institute, founded in 1949. This page brings together what is on record for this course at MIT Chennai — 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 MIT Chennai for the current semester-wise plan.

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at MIT Chennai as a group.

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

To be considered for Discontinued (Jul2023)-B.E. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Part Time), 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.

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 MIT Chennai's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

Here is the usual route in:

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 MIT Chennai on its website (mitindia.edu) 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.

The latest placement figures on record (2023) show a placement rate of 80% and a highest package of ₹40 lakh at MIT Chennai. 76 students were placed that year. 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.
