IEEE has many societies under its umbrella. One of its largest and most active societies is the IEEE Computer Society. NISB began its Computer Society chapter two years ago, with only 15 members and currently has a whopping figure of 60 members. Through NISB, IEEE students of NIE can take up student membership for the Computer Society. NIE IEEE CS has its own technical fest called “Rubix”.

Under IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Bangalore Chapter, a well-established IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Student Chapter has been running in the department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering since 2018. IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) provides the world’s largest forum for sharing the latest technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members in the industry and general public. Members of PES are leaders in the field, and they, along with their employers, derive substantial benefits from involvement with this unique and outstanding association. Various activities are coordinated often under the student chapter, which enhance students’ skills and knowledge. To bridge the gap between Academia and Industry, activities like Industry – Academia Conclave were also conducted

IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is one of the largest international professional organizations dedicated to promoting women engineers and scientists, and inspiring girls around the world to follow their academic interests to a career in engineering. The IEEE Women in Engineering Affinity Group at the NISB was formed on 13th April 2015. NIE IEEE WIE has its own technical fest called “Inspiro”.

Upcoming chapter of NISB

With a motive to expand the NISB and also to foster technological innovation and excellence, a new chapter Circuits and System Society will soon be a part of NISB. CAS society will be working with an aim to progress and impart the knowledge of circuits and systems to the students such that the interdisciplinary essentials can be highlighted.
