J. K. Institute of Applied Physics and Technology[1] is an engineering colleges in India. It is also known as the Department of Electronics and Communication. It’s located in the Muir College Campus (Science Faculty) of the University of Allahabad.[citation needed]
Its foundation stone was laid by Jawaharlal Nehru on April 14, 1949, and was formally inaugurated by him on April 4, 1956. It was named after J.K. as the J. K. Trust contributed to the construction of the complete building structure.
The department conducts courses in the fields of Electronics & Communication and Computer Science leading up to the degrees of the Bachelor of Technology, Master of Technology, and Master of Science. These courses have been designed to meet the current challenging demands of the nation.
The Computer Science discipline was started in the year 1986 through the DRDO project on the ‘Man Power development in the area of computer Science’. The department offers B.Sc (CS), M.Sc. (Computer Science), and B.Tech. (Electronics and Communication Engineering), B.Tech. (Computer Science and Engineering ), M.Tech. (Electronic and Communication Engineering) M.Tech. (Computer Science and Engineering) and Ph.D. program in Electronics and Computer Science.
History
[edit]Its foundation stone was laid by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, on 14 April 1949 and it was formally inaugurated by him on 4 April 1956. J. K. Charitable Trust contributed to the construction of the complete building structure of the institute, hence the department's name.
J. K. stands for "Juggilal Kamlapat", so the full name is "Juggilal Kamlapat Institute of Applied Physics and Technology".[1]
The department has a long history of collaboration with some of the country's top research institutes such as DRDO. The undergraduate course in Computer Science was started in the year 1982 and the postgraduate course in Computer Science was started in the year 1986. The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) selected the institute as a center of Manpower development in the area of Computer Science through which the students were inducted as Scientist B in their organizations up to 1992. After 1992, M.Sc. The Computer Science program has been taken over as a UGC program.
Location and accessibility
[edit]J. K. Institute is centrally located in the city, inside the Science faculty campus of the University of Allahabad (25.4591° N, 81.85202° E). It is about 4 km from Allahabad Junction. J. K. Institute is situated near the historic Department of mathematics university of Allahabad which was established before the establishment of the university in 1887.
Academic courses
[edit]The department conducts courses in the fields of Electronics & Communication and Computer Science leading up to the degrees of Bachelor of Technology, Master of technology, and Master of Science. These courses have been designed to meet the current challenging demands of the nation. The Department offers B.Tech. (Electronics & Communication Engineering), B.Tech. (Computer Science & Engineering), M.Tech. (Electronic & Communication Engineering), M.Tech. (Computer Science & Engineering), B.Sc (Computer Science), M.Sc (Computer Science), MCA, and D.Phil programs in the field of Computer Science, Electronics, and Communication.
Admission
[edit]The department admits Under-Graduate students through Joint Entrance Examination Main conducted by National Testing Agency and Central Seat Allocation Board. Post-graduate (M.Tech) admission is through GATE.
Avirbhav
[edit]Avirbhav: Fiesta for Renaissance, the annual cultural and technical fest of the department, is welcomed by each student with immense eagerness.
