The Department of Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering & Technology of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi is one of the premier electrical engineering education and research departments of the Country and is also one of the SAP departments of UGC as well as a FIST supported department. Since its inception in 1985 along with the inception of Faculty of Engineering & Technology of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, it has grown leaps and bounds and continuously striving for excellence.

Apart from offering regular four-year under graduate programmes, i.e. B. Tech. in Electrical Engineering, the department has been serving to the specialised needs of the industry by running two regular M. Tech. Programs. One in Electrical Power Systems Management (EPSM) which started in 2003-04 and another in Control and Instrumentation Systems (CIS) which started in 2012. The Department of Electrical Engineering has been successfully achieving its research endeavours through its very well structured and disciplined Ph. D. programme in seven major areas, i.e. Power Systems; Power Electronics and Electrical Machines; Control and Instrumentation; Computer Science & Technology; Electronics & Communication and; Biomedical Engineering; Dental Sciences & Technology; Medical Sciences & Technology. Admission of the students in each programme is highly competitive and is through Joint Entrance Examination conducted by NTA for B.Tech. and national level entrance exam for M.Tech. as well as Ph.D.

The Department of Electrical Engineering is respectfully recognized at national and international platforms through its accomplished alumni, research publications and representation of its dedicated faculty members as invited speakers, delegates, subject experts, reputed journal reviewers, members of expert committees and elected fellows of national/international professional sociteties. The Department of Electrical Engineering is committed to grow further as a socially responsible and research oriented centre of learning.

The faculty members at Department of Electrical Engineering lead by examples and are highly motivated to achieve excellence in research and development and publish their research in internationally peer reviewed journals, patenting their research findings, and bringing generous research grants from Govt. research funding agencies like DRDO, DST, AICTE, MHRD, MNRE, UGC, DOE, BARC etc. to upgrade the research facilities at the department and to provide innovative solutions to engineering problems. Many faculty members have received prestigious national and international awards for their contributions. The Department is also one of the recognized QIP centre under the engineering discipline. Number of Ph.Ds awarded under various research areas from the department till date is more than 150. The h-index of the Department is 57.

To augment the teaching, learning and research, department has very well established laboratories for graduate and post graduate programmes, where students can experiment and test the electrical engineering concepts. Department also has laboratories in some specialised areas like Smart Energy Systems Automation Research Laboratory, Biomedical Research Laboratory, Instrumentation System Research Laboratory, Advance Power Electronics Research Laboratory, SCADA and Smart Grid RTDS Research Laboratory , and there are many other state-of-the-art experimental set-ups/hardware and sophisticated software being used for teaching and research in the thrust areas related to electrical engineering.

Graduate and post-graduate students of the Department of Electrical Engineering easily find employment in the leading government, public or private organizations either through campus placement or through all India recruitment process. Many of the students are regularly getting opportunity to go abroad either for better employment or for higher studies in the reputed universities. There exist loads of avenues, besides academics, for students to hone their creativity, cultural and entrepreneurial skills.
