The department was established in 1998 to run the four year BE Program in Instrumentation & Control Engg. (ICE), thereafter in 2001 the nomenclature was changed to Electronics & Instrumentation Engg. From 2004, the department also conducts M. Tech Program in Instrumentation & Control Engg.

The Instrumentation and Control Engineering has gained a lot of importance because of the rapid growth as well as amalgamation of software and computers in the field of test and measurement (T&M). There is hardly any field, may it be electrical, electronics, and medical or meteorological, which is not using Instrumentation and Control System extensively. Consequently, it has become of paramount importance for the students of Instrumentation and Control Engineering to gain versatile and in-depth knowledge in this field.

In order to meet this challenging task, the College has the state-of-the-art Labs for Electrical Measurement & Instrumentation as well as for Analog and Digital Process Control.

Instrumentation & Control labs have almost all types of transducers and interfaces for comparative study of characteristics to help students in the selection of transducers under different industrial processing environments. The labs also provide facilities for different types of measuring bridges.

The Department has an independent lab for microprocessor based instrumentation for the measurement of physical quantities such as displacement, pressure levels, temperature, etc. The students are required to perform minor and major projects on microprocessor-based instrumentation and controls. Sufficient number of microprocessor kits (Intel 8085 and 8086 based), micro controller kits, microcomputers and Intel Pentium III based computers are available.

Control System and Process Control labs are used for imparting training on conventional control methods. Besides these, the lab has microcomputer based closed loop PI & PID process control setup and pneumatic servo control system kits. The setup in these labs facilitates higher studies and research in Instrumentation and Control Engineering as well as in the field of Electrical Engineering.

With the approval of AICTE, Govt. of Haryana, the M.Tech. Programme in Instrumentation & Control Engg.. has been started from the session 2004-2005. M.D. University, Rohtak has given affiliation to this programme. For running M.Tech. Programme efficiently with quality education, the department has adequate dedicated faculty with 2 Ph.D degree and 4 M.Tech. degree holders. The Deptt. Has also got the recognition through one of our B.E. student securing top position and gold medal in the year 2002.

In near future, the college targets to establish a research centre in Instrumentation. The College is also a member of Instrumentation Society of India, at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

The deptt is very well placed in respect of job opportunities in all Process Industries, Bio-medical Instrumentation, Research and Development and all Industries opting for automation.
