This would allow them to predict developments and make contributions in area of expertise. The research scholars pursuing the Ph.D. degree are provided with an environment and facilities that help to develop analytic and research skills to define the research problems, to study advanced knowledge base to discover innovative solutions available till date. They are also provided with opportunities to practice consultation so as to facilitate innovative change in organizations, communities, and society.
PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS

THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS (IEEE)
IEEE opens the door to opportunities that will help students to develop their professional identity in IEEE’s designated fields of interest: sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In addition to accessing a range of membership benefits, students will make global connections with people who can help students along their targeted career path through IEEE’s international community of members and volunteers.

ECSA (Electronics and Communication Students Association)
The Department of Electronics and communication engineering has always been a Trend Setter of this Institution. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. Commemorating the quote of a famous American civil rights activist, “A word as to the education of the heart, we don’t believe that this can be imparted through books, it can only be imparted through the loving touch of the teacher”, ECSA was proposed with the objective to organize various activities aimed at drawing the goodness and best out of our own students under the guidance of the well trained faculty members of the department.

INNOVATION CLUB
For all students in SJCET, who are interested in innovation & entrepreneurship the Innovation Club is the place to meet like-minded people with complementary skills. Here the students can get inspiration, exchange experiences, build a powerful network and form teams that work on game-changing ideas, because this club has the necessary skills and resources to support the students.
INITIATIVES BEYOND THE CLASS ROOM

Mentor System
Each faculty member in the department is assigned the complete responsibility of 30 students. This Faculty Mentor establishes a close relationship with each student, orients them to college practices, follows their progress regularly and guides them throughout the four-year course. Employment of this idea has helped several students to solve the problems they face in the academics. Also this method helps the parents to keep track of their child and their academic performance.

Remedial Education
The students with backlogs have a heavy load as they must take exams simultaneously for both the new semester’s subjects as well as for the subjects they fail; and they cannot attend classes in the subjects they have failed. Thus, they do not get any additional teaching in the subjects in which they are weak unless they resort to coaching classes or other private means. This may in turn result in cumulative failures, leading some students to take more years to complete the four-year engineering course. To help our students from such situations, remedial classes are provided by the ECE department during the month before the repeat exams, enabling the students to face the difficult papers with greater confidence and ease

Gate Coaching
The department offers evening classes for students preparing for GATE, to help them understand the GATE pattern and solve GATE papers.

SPOKEN TUTORIAL REMOTE CENTER
SJCET Palai is the resource center for promoting Spoken Tutorial Project – IIT Bombay, an initiative of National Mission through ICT, MHRD, Govt. of India. The Spoken Tutorial Project is the initiative of the ‘Talk to a Teacher’ activity of the NMEICT. SJCET Palai SPOKEN TUTORIAL REMOTE CENTER will be conducting workshops on Linux, Scilab, PHP & MySQL, Python, Java, C/C++, OpenFOAM, Blender, K-Turtle, Oscad, GIMP etc.

Placement Training
Department offers intense placement training on regular basis from third semester onwards.
