Industry Linkage with ST Microelectronics

3rd Year ECE students are undertaking a unique pedagogical experiment that will further strengthen Industry-Course linkages thus making the course content industry relevant. Students are working on live ST Microelectronics projects under direct industry guidance while undergoing their courses in the University.

STM Boards and IDE (Integrated Development Environment) have been made available to the students. Virtual Meeting tools and email are used by students to communicate with their STM supervisor daily. This unique experience will prepare them better for Industry Practice and Placements.

NIIT University IEEE Student Chapter

IEEE Student Chapter was opened at NU giving an opportunity for NU students to participate and collaborate in research and innovation activities at national and international level. Prof. Mahesh Bundele, SMIEEE Membership Chair, Rajasthan Sub-section, spoke at the inaugural function.
