All ten laboratories are adequately equipped and there is a central server room to fulfill the requirement of the undergraduate curriculum. The software, computer graphics, data structure, and image processing labs fulfill the quest for knowledge.
The Electronics Department was also established in 1983 and since then has been offering under- and post-graduate programs of four and two years respectively. The laboratories such as Electronics Devices, Electrical Machines, Microprocessors, Integrated Circuits, Digital and Switching are well equipped with high-tech equipment, aiming to provide practical training.
The Department of IT came into existence in 1999 to keep pace with developments in the IT sector. It offers courses like Image Processing, Computer vision, Artificial Intelligence. Well-equipped laboratories assists the teaching process.
The Department of Electronics and Telecommunication was set up in 2000, with an intake of 60 students. The department houses adequately equipped laboratories such as Electric Devices, Digital Switching, Microwave Engineering, Communication and Advance Communication Engineering and Signal Processing.
The Department Instrumentation Engineering offers courses like Equipment Design, Analog and Digital control System. Laboratories for process Instrumentation, Analytical Instrumentation and Electronics Instrumentation are well designed for providing hands on experience to students.
All the departments can boast of highly qualified faculty equipped with post-graduate and doctorate degree from reputed institutions like IITs and NITs. Members of the faculty are highly committed teachers complimented with excellent teaching skills as well as research expertise.

The Department of Electronics had recently organized a national seminar on DSP, VLSI and embedded system and wireless communication. Consultancy and sponsored projects are undertaken by the departments from MNCs, MIT, DST.
Industry–institute partnership is always encouraged. Testimony to this is constant interaction through regular visit to companies like RCF, Forbes Marshall, Total Honey Well and Fests Control. Final year B.E. projects undertaken by students are carried out in research institutes like BARC and IIT Mumbai.
The Electronics Engineering Department was begun in 1983. Courses such as Electronic Circuits and Design, Microprocessors, Electronic Instrumentation, Analog Integrated Circuits, Digital Integrated Circuits, Signals and Systems, Wireless Communications, Wave Theory and Propagation, Filter Theory and Data Communication comprise the department's core curriculum. Technical events under the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers aegis are organized through the year. After the Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics Engineering degree course was begun in 1983, the Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication degree course was added to the department in 2002. The intake for Electronics Engineering is 120 students, and for Electronics and Telecommunication 90 students per academic year. The Electronics Engineering degree course is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation.[3]
Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology is one of the few colleges of Mumbai University having this department, which was begun in 1998. The curriculum includes courses such as Process Instrumentation, Process Equipment Design, and Analog and Digital Control Systems. Laboratories such as Process Instrumentation, Analytical Instrumentation and Electronics Instrumentation are being set up in the department, which offers a Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation Engineering degree course with an intake capacity of 60 students per academic year. RAIT is the Western Regional Center for distance-learning programs in Electronics and Control, Software Systems, and Systems and Information of the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani.
