The first batch of students graduated from the department in the year 2001. A postgraduate programme, leading to M.Tech in 'Embedded Systems' was introduced in the year 2006. Consequent to the establishment of JNT University in Kakinada, the affiliations of both programmes were shifted to the new University from 2008 onwards.
