Department of Electronics, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon is a silent legendary name oscillating linearly at a rapid rate in the race of growing technology and developing India. It is one of the pioneer DEPARTMENT that has been significantly contributing in the development of this university and country as well through innovative ideas and high quality research. Department of Electronics was established with the origination of North Maharashtra University in 1991.

The Department is well recognized for credential running of master courses both for Science and Engineering trade. The master courses for science posses a capability of 30 students each year. Department also leads the PhD course in the field of Opto-Electronic and Microelectronics Semiconductor device technology. The department is enriched with well organized and trained team of professors and researchers equipped with most of the advanced and facilities to design and fabricate the semi-conductor devices indigenously. The Department has promptly employed all the Master, Science and Technology course students, dedicated in cultivating the new ideas and approaches in the Research & Development of semi-conductor physics, opto-electronic devices, communication and VLSI technology. The department has accomplished 6 mega projects successfully funded by the various funding agencies. The institute proudly holds the credit for organizing and volunteering two international conferences �BBOFCT-2001� and �ICOT-2004� witnessing the successful participation of well renowned scientists across the country and world. Such events have given the department a world wide spectrum and international recognition. The tedious and fruitful job in Research & Development for various fields, done by the research team has been well approved on the worldwide platform by large number of publications in the international journals and proceedings of high repute.

    In past history of 17 years existence the most happening achievement of the department is the successful planning, building, establishment and execution of the semiconductor Fabrication laboratory, which is the biggest asset of the department, one of its unique kinds in the country. The determination, concept and approach to build the Fabrication Lab sprouted during the department was in its off spring era. The department was indeed a great scarcity of funds still the initiative was taken by the dedicated research team starting from the scratch. At each stage the new ideas were brought and the reformations in the strategies were implemented due to limited financial resources. The present clock envies the past, as the department holds the most precious Laboratory across the country which is enriched with all the Design, Fabrication and Characterization facilities for Microelectronics and Opto-Electronics.

   The Aims and Objectives of this school are:

1. To train students for the highest level of education in the area of Electronics, Material Science and Energy Studies aimed at producing competent, creative and imaginative scientists.

2. To promote higher studies and research in different fields of Physical Sciences by both, the students and the staff.
   

The strength of the school lies in Research and Developmental activities in the areas of Diamond Thin films, Conducting polymers, Photo Thermal Opto-electronics.
