Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering at AISSMS IOIT, Pune.
Established in 1999, the department offers a dynamic academic environment with undergraduate programs in Electrical Engineering and postgraduate programs in Power Electronics and Drives. Our team comprises 13 dedicated faculty members and 6 highly qualified technical staff, committed to academic excellence and holistic student development. The faculty also actively contributes to various administrative and academic initiatives both within the institute and at broader levels.
The vision of the department is to contribute to society by imparting quality education in the field of electrical engineering and prepare students to succeed in their professional careers by inculcating in them high human values.
The mission of the department is to nurture globally competent electrical engineers through experiential learning, industry-institute interaction, and professional activities that enhance technical expertise, research aptitude, employability, and ethical commitment to address emerging global challenges and serve society.
The Department offers around 30 diverse courses covering core and emerging areas of Electrical Engineering. Faculty and students actively engage in academic and research activities across key domains such as Power Systems, Control Systems, Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Renewable Energy Systems, and Power Quality.
To support hands-on learning and innovation, the department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and advanced computational facilities. A wide range of industry-relevant software tools—including MATLAB, PSCAD, ETAP, EDSA, FLUKE Power Log, Fluke Energy Analyze Plus, Janitza GridVis Ultimate Planner, and Elspec PQSCADA Sapphire—are available to facilitate high-impact projects and research in various fields of Electrical Engineering.
Over the past five years, the department faculty members have been awarded several major and minor research grants from BCUD, SPPU, and AICTE. These initiatives have significantly contributed to the establishment of a Center of Excellence in Power Quality. A notable outcome is the indigenously developed D.M. Tagre Power Quality Experience Center, which has garnered interest from leading industries.
Additionally, the department has received funding support for conducting a variety of faculty development programs, student workshops, and national-level conferences, fostering a vibrant academic and research culture.
Industry-Institute Interaction plays a vital role in bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world industrial practices. The Department of Electrical Engineering actively collaborates with industries to provide students and faculty with exposure to current technologies, trends, and professional practices.
Through industrial visits, expert lectures, internships, sponsored projects, and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with leading companies, students gain hands-on experience and practical insights beyond the classroom. These initiatives not only enhance employability but also encourage innovation and problem-solving aligned with industry needs . Our major recruiters are Neilsoft, Konecrane, TCS, Godrej, Conentrix and Birlasoft. Our Alumni have made excellent contributions in various fields like entrepreneurship, industry, and academics.
A culture of healthy competition and teamwork is actively cultivated within the department to enhance students’ leadership and interpersonal skills. This is achieved through active participation in various professional bodies such as the Institution of Engineers (India) – IEI, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), Renewable Energy Club (REC), and the Electrical Engineering Students’ Association (EESA).
These professional bodies regularly organize a wide range of co-curricular and extracurricular activities, including technical events, workshops, seminars, and competitions, providing a platform for students to showcase their talents and enhance their professional skills. Participation in such events ensures that both UG and PG students experience holistic development, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to excel in their careers.
