ABOUT

​

                  The Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering was established in the year 2000 and the first batch students graduated in the year 2003. It offers 3 year Diploma programme in INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL ENGINEERING. Nearly 27 students are admitted each year in Diploma programme through Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Puducherry.  An additional 20% of students are admitted in Lateral Entry mode in 2nd year of the course.

             The curriculum is being updated regularly with inputs from industries and reputed educational institutions. The department with its state of the art laboratories, as well as young and dynamic faculty is involved in providing quality education.

​

         The study mainly focuses on the design and configuration of the automated systems. Instrumentation engineers usually work in chemical or manufacturing industries with the aim of improving productivity, reliability and stability of the automated systems.
