Electrical Engineering (EE)

The Department of Electrical Engineering started since the inception of NIT Meghalaya. Presently the
department offers B.Tech, M.Tech and PhD Programs. The B. Tech program started in 2010 with an
intake of 30 students at NIT Surat and since 2014 onward M.Tech program has been started with an intake
of 20 students offering specialization in Power & Energy Systems. Presently there are full time and part
time research scholars, registered for the PhD program in diverse specializations. The Department aims
to impart high quality education to the students and carry out fundamental and industry oriented research
work. The research interest of faculties encompass various areas of electrical engineering such as Power
system Control, Smart Grid Technology, Synchrophasor Technology, Power Quality and Renewable
energy integration to grid, Power Electronics & Drives, Control System and Instrumentation, Signal
Processing and Biomedical Instrumentation, High Voltage Engineering etc. The department have well-
equipped laboratory facilities to the students such as Basic Electrical Engineering Lab, Electrical Machine
Lab, Network and Systems Lab, Digital Electronics Lab, Power System Lab, Computational Lab, Control
& Instrumentation Lab, Power Electronics Lab, Electric Drives Lab, Microprocessor Lab, Microcontroller
Embedded Systems Lab. Specialized simulation softwares like Matlab, Sincal, FLUX,

PSPICE, PSIM, PSS@E, EMYP etc. are available with the department to carry out
experiments and research activities. Besides, faculty of EE department are very actively

publishing papers in reputed journals and conferences such as IEEE, IET, Elsevier, Springer,
Taylor and Francis, Wiley etc. Moreover, faculty member of EE department have received

several sponsored research projects from various agencies like SERB-DST, CPRI, REC and
State Council of Science Technology & Environment (SCSTE, Govt. of Meghalaya).

Civil Engineering (CE)

The department of Civil Engineering has been in existence since July 2012. With an intake capacity
of 30 students, the department offers four years (eight semesters) B. Tech programme in Civil
Engineering Discipline. The department has initiated its Ph.D. programme since 2014, in various areas
of Civil Engineering viz., Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Water Resources
Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering. Since July 2018 onwards, the department has been
offering a two years (four semesters) M. Tech programme in Structural Engineering. The department
is offering a common course for 1st year students on Engineering Drawing.
Additionally, the department actively encourages curriculum development activities by creation
of new courses and up-gradation of existing courses. The department undertakes consultancy works

in various related areas of civil engineering, to provide knowledge and intellectual
inputs to the industry and other organizations and also organizes seminars/symposia for
professional interaction. The department also aims to contribute to interdisciplinary
academic and research activities of NIT Meghalaya.
