Previous Conferences / Workshops:

Previously the department has successfully organized National Seminars on Devices, Circuits and Communications (NASDEC2) in the year 2006 and 2008. The seminars were organized at national level and were focused in the areas of Electronic Devices, Circuits and Communication Systems. The seminars were very successful in attracting a large number of participants and creating an interactive platform for discussions. The department has also organized two International Workshops in the areas of Wireless Communications in the years 2003 and 2004. The workshops were named as International Workshop on Wireless Communications Technologies (IWWCT-2003 and IWWCT-2004). A large number of foreign nationals, Indian universities, government organizations and companies participated in the workshops. The workshops resulted in the establishment of International Centre for Wireless and Mobile Communications (ICWMC) at the department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi and one International Research Centre on 4th Generation (IRC-4G) at the Birla Institute of Technology, extension centre Noida. The department has also organized a National Conference on Recent Advances in Wireless and Mobile Communications (RAWMTEL-2008) in close associations with Institution of Engineers (India), Jharkhand State Centre, Ranchi in the year 2008. The International Conference on Devices and Communications (ICDeCom-2010) is conceptually an extension of its previous traditions.
