The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) was established in the academic year 1999–2000, with the first batch graduating in 2003. The department offers a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with an annual intake of 30 students. The program is approved by the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi.

The B.E. EEE program provides students with a robust foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical applications across key domains such as Electrical Machines, Power Systems, Control Systems, Power Electronics, Instrumentation, and Renewable Energy Technologies. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for the evolving demands of modern industry and research.

The department is guided by dynamic and accomplished faculty members who are dedicated to academic excellence, innovation, and holistic student growth. All laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and modern instruments, enabling students to gain hands-on experience and technical expertise.

The department hosts an active Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (AEEE), which regularly organizes symposia, seminars, workshops, and guest lectures to enhance technical and professional skills. The association also publishes a biannual newsletter titled “ELEKTRIKA”, curated and edited through the collaborative efforts of students and faculty members.
In addition, the department’s Energy Club conducts a variety of activities such as workshops, seminars, and student-led projects aimed at promoting awareness, innovation, and research in renewable and sustainable energy technologies.

Dr. N. Gnanasekaran, Professor and Head, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, holds a B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Annamalai University, an M.E. in Power System Engineering from the College of Engineering- Guindy (Anna University, Chennai), and a Ph.D. in Power Systems from Anna University, Chennai.
With 25 years of teaching experience, Dr. Gnanasekaran has published numerous research papers in national and international journals. His areas of specialization include Electrical Machines, Power Systems, and Soft Computing Techniques. He is a member of IEEE, and a life member of both the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) and the Indian Red Cross Society.
