M.Tech Communications and Signal Processing at IIT Mandi Offline Course

The minimum and maximum duration of these programs are two and three years respectively. Each year consists of two semesters, summer and winter terms. The structure and details of the curriculum for these programs are given separately.

The program is designed giving importance to theory as well as exposure to industry needs. It consists of two parts: course work and a year-long project. The course work is structured to give solid theoretical foundations and practical, hands-on experience which would enable the student to tackle problems in the area of signal processing, communications, and machine learning in a holistic manner. 

The one year long project is supposed to be in partnership with industry so that the students solve problems which are of relevance to product design and development. The project is done in-house, the problem definition and part of technical support comes from an industry or reputed government R&D laboratories. 

In order to prepare the students for product development by the end of first year, courses like Advanced Programming Practicum, Embedded Systems, IoT Systems, and Systems Design are included in the curriculum. In addition to the post graduate project, these courses familiarize the students with the system design aspects relevant to signal processing, communications, and machine learning
