About The Department
The Department of M.E. Power Electronics and Drives was started as a regular programme in the year 2012. It is being offered as both Full Time programme & Part Time (Regular), to encourage fresh and practicing engineers to enhance their professional skill in the field. This specialization is among the most sought after courses, as the demand for engineers required for the industries working on equipment and circuits for Renewable Energy System trends are on a rise.
Agni College of Technology is one among the top colleges in Chennai which offers M.E. Power Electronics and Drives course, and is affiliated with Anna University.
