The department of Electronics and Communication Engineering was established in 1968 .The department offers an undergraduate program in Electronics and Communication Engineering, two PG programs  namely  M.Tech in Network and Internet Engineering and  M.Tech in Automotive Electronics. In addition to these, it also offers Ph.D. programs which provide a platform for bright graduates and postgraduates to conduct research in state-of-the-art technologies. The department is composed of well-qualified teaching and technical staff with good retention.

The Department is also a recognized centre under the Quality Improvement Program (QIP) of the Government of India. The well designed curriculum lays a strong foundation in both the analytical  and technological aspects of Electronics and Communication Engineering. It also provides ample opportunities to students to work on mini-projects, develop communication skills, explore internship opportunities in industry and take part in national and  international design contests like PACE, Aero-JC, cultural and sports activities etc.

The BE degree in Electronics and Communication  Engineering at SJCE, JSSSTU  is one of the most sought after programs in the state and attracts top ranking students. It has a very good placement record  and almost 100 % of the eligible students get placement in top companies with a very good package. The department also encourages students to pursue higher studies and to become entrepreneurs. The department has a very active IEEE student chapter which organises  National level  paper presentation competitions and other events such as Vacation Project Mania, Latex workshops and  mini project competitions, etc.

Apart from teaching, the department also  guides UG and PG students for getting  Internships at renowned  Industries  and premier  Institutes like IISc, IIT’s and NIT’s, organizes Industrial visits, conducts  expert lectures and workshops. The department also has special labs namely Nano Dielectric and devices lab, Visual TCAD and research lab and e-yantra lab which provides space for researchers to carry out  experimental investigations and  UG and PG students to implement project ideas.
