Civil Engineering was first offered as a Diploma and later, as a Bachelor’s degree in 1950. The programme has consistently maintained a high emphasis on research and provided quality value-based education. The long-list of this department’s highly-acclaimed alumni include Prof N V C Swamy, Director, IIT Chennai, and Mysuru L Nagaraja - Chief of New York Metro Transport Services.

Established in 1958, this VTU-recognised Research Centre spawns innovations that become real-world solutions such as the bio-gas plant for Mysuru Zoo and hub for motor sports teams. The department has leading automation industry collaborations, and autonomously runs three cutting-edge M.Tech. programmes in Industrial Automation & Robotics, Machine Design and Nanotechnology.

One of the first to be set up, EEE has hi-tech labs, VTU-accredited autonomy and a CoE authorised to test electrical installations in/around Mysore. Alumni include N R Narayana Murthy (Founder, Infosys), E A S Prasanna (former international cricketer), Siva Gopal Valluri (former scientist, ISRO) & Dr. K Balaraman (Director General, National Institute of Wind Energy).

The Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering was established in the year 1971, currently emphasizing on the study of VLSI, signal processing, nano-devices, embedded systems, IOT, and communication networks. The current challenges in these domain applications are addressed through AI and ML technologies. The department plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of students, from the development of cutting-edge electronic devices to the design of efficient communication networks ethically. Faculty of the department constantly upgrade to the latest technologies through online learning platforms, workshops, & symposium and have established the state-of-the-art laboratories. Faculty are actively engaged in both independent and collaborative research works with industry and other prominent research institutions and leading industries.

This NBA-accredited department with the most Doctorates in its faculty drives a culture of innovation yielding solutions for a better quality of life – from CART hand pumps installed across Karnataka to an award-winning coconut d-husking machine. Industry and institutional collaborations and a dedicated Centre for Training in Advanced Technologies help advance its agenda and diversity focus.

From data analysis and problem solving to number crunching, this departments covers wide-ranging topics that help students develop skills that make them employable.

One of the oldest departments in NIE, the Department of Physics fosters a breakthrough mindset in students and provides ample enablers to help them reach new frontiers – faculty from multi- disciplines in Physics, status as a VTU-recognised Research Centre replete with research guides, and well-equipped sectionalised laboratory, among others.

This department nurtures and promotes a culture of research and innovation through a well-accomplished faculty. Industry collaborations give wings to students to create impactful real-word solutions typically oriented towards mitigating risk and monitoring infrastructure and human health for a conducive environment to live and work in.
