The Department of Electrical Engineering (which is now accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi) started its journey in the year 2009 under RCCIIT and the first batch of students graduated in the year 2013. It is situated in the ground floor of the new campus of the Institute.
Admissions for UG program in this department require a valid rank of WBJEE/AIEEE which is monitored through the Institutional Admission Committee following the guidelines of the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, previously known as the West Bengal University of Technology. The department also take admission under lateral entry scheme from the merit list of JELET conducted by West Bengal Joint Entrance Examinations Board. The present intake of this department is 60.

RCC Institute of Information Technology (RCCIIT) was set up in 1999 by the erstwhile Regional Computer Centre (RCC), Calcutta (in JU) as a unique joint venture of NIC, Ministry of Communication & IT, Govt. of India and Dept. of Higher Education, Govt. of West Bengal. In 2003 the lead role of management of RCCIIT was transferred to the State Govt. from Govt. of India.
