DIPLOMA PROGRAMME IN ELECTRONICS AND RADIO ENGINEERING                            
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This programme is recognised by the Maharashtra State Government. St. Xavier's has been granted autonomy by the Government and issues its own Diplomas which are recognised by the Government. 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATION : H.S.C. (XII) with minimum 50% in Physics, Chemistry, Math's for Open Category candidates and 45% in case of Backward Class candidates. 

Please note the orders of the Maharashtra Government concerning other conditions for admissions. 

Admissions begin on the day the XII results are declared/or as notified by the Director of Technical Education (M.S.). 

NORMAL DURATION: 2 years (4 semesters), Full time from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. (However see note on "Flexible System" on pg.5). 

SCOPE: The programme provides the student with a good foundation in Engineering Electronics that helps him/her to specialise later in any branches like Electrical Engineering, Radio Reception & Transmission, Computers, Television, Industrial Electronics, Process Control, Microprocessors, Electronic Instrumentation etc. To enhance and widen his/her outlook the student is encouraged to participate in organised tours to a number of factories, companies engaged in manufacture of different electronic or electrical components, equipment, and in the final year the student (in groups of 4) have to design and build an electronic project, alongwith a complete report on the same.
