Student Branch

Over the decades that followed, with IEEE’s continued leadership, the societal roles of the technologies under its aegis continued to spread across the world, and reach into more and more areas of people’s lives. The professional groups and technical boards of the predecessor institutions evolved into IEEE Societies and Student Branches. In 21st century   various IEEE Student Branches were formed in esteem engineering colleges of India and one of which was IEEE VIT Student Branch. It came into existence on 12th Nov, 1999 and celebrating 12 years of glory.

IEEE VIT Student Branch’s core purpose is to encourage technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. This year the glorious torch is carry by the Prof. A.M. Chopde Head, Electronics Dept. as Branch Mentor and Prof. Suhas Bhise, Electronics Dept as Branch Counselor.
