Internship (2019- 2021)
Medicherla Sai Charan Bharadwaj
Analog Devices
Bangalore
I consider myself very fortunate to be studying in Amrita. Joined Communication Systems due to my fascination in Wireless Communication and Signal Processing. Our Curriculum is precise, industry-oriented and thoroughly updated catering to latest needs. The Faculty here are experts in their domains and very supportive. There are many opportunities for M.Tech students in form of internships and placements. With the knowledge that i have gained in studying here, I got selected for an internship at Analog Devices.
Internship (2018-2020)
Vangara Sai Prudhvi
Digilogic Systems Pvt. Ltd
Hyderabad
My interest in signal processing and in particular mathematical models involved in signal processing, information theory and communication theory at graduate level made me to opt for this program in masters. Here i got exposure to domain specific programming using python, MATLAB, GNU radio, to understand the concept better. A well experienced faculty here changed my way of learning and understanding the concept, in short i can say my perspective towards concepts are changed. This course provides opportunities in wireless communication, signal processing, information theory, RF theory, machine learning etc, In Digilogic, where I have done my internship mainly work on communication and signal processing areas, this course made my role easy in industry because the theory behind the parameters used is already learnt, the only thing is dealing with them.
Internship (2018-2020)
Preethi J.
Maxim Integrated
Bangalore
The program curriculum has been designed not only to offer in-depth theoretical knowledge in areas of Communication Engineering, Signal Processing and Wireless Communication but also on system modelling aspects which fall in-line with the requirements from industry. The faculty at Amrita are friendly and well-qualified. Not only do they offer challenging assignments but also help in taking up the challenging problems and arrive at the solution. Semester Abroad Programs, Dual Degree programs and internship opportunities at Amrita is at par with IITs and NITs undoubtedly. Having grabbed an internship and FTE opportunity from Maxim Integrated, I can clearly vouch for this program to be at par with industrial standards where I'm currently applying my theoretical knowledge into practical applications everyday.

Student Testimonials
"I would confidently suggest, Communication and Signal processing stream of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore to any student planning for their masters as I consider myself extremely fortunate to be a part of this branch here at Amrita, which is undoubtedly the best private University. I got an insight into various software. I could learn a lot and hence improve myself. I got excellent faculty support and I thank my teachers for the same as well as lab facilities which helped me improve my knowledge."
Megha S. Kumar, Pursuing PhD in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham
"Amrita provides good learning environment and so many hardware & software tools. We are given exposure to research oriented works and got good insights to subjects which helped me to get an admission at IIT Madras"
Sreeraj S. J., Pursuing Ph.D - IIT Madras
"I consider myself extremely fortunate to have enrolled for the M.Tech Program 'Communication and Signal Processing'. First reason is that it is one of the best combinations which can be thought of and it is not available in many of the prestigious institutions even now, I got an insight into many new software. Well developed labs too helped a lot to get hands on as well."
