Flexible mode of study: Full-time/ Part-time (weekend mode)
This two-year diploma program has an equal blend of theoretical, practical, ethical and environmental based courses that meet the needs of the country, industries, and society as a whole.
Diploma in Electronics and Communications Engineering is a 2–year program that aims to provide knowledge and practical skills in Electronics and Communications. Further, this program aims to impart technical knowledge to students quickly. The Diploma is awarded after the successful completion of 66 Credit Hours. This short duration helps the students enter the workforce very soon after their studies. After completing this Diploma, students can apply for the four-year BEng degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering or any other relevant field. One of the award requirements is that students are expected not only to pass the required courses but also to achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 or above.
Diploma in Electronics and Communications Engineering aims to:
