About The Course
The proposed short-term course covers the fundamental to recent advances in the field of RF and Photonics. Due to the short duration of the course, the focus will be on conceptual learning rather than a lot of maths. The short-term course would cover a one semester bachelor's / master's degree in which general concepts, various RF and photonic devices as well as examples and applications from practice are presented. The lectures will be given by academic experts in their respective fields from the IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, NIT Rourkela and University of Sydney, Australia. This course is designed to provide advanced understanding of the various RF and Photonics devices and technologies. The governing principles and design techniques of various RF, optoelectronic and photonic devices would be discussed as part of the short-term course. The expected participants in this short-term course are faculties and PG / research students interested in RF and photonics, and this program can be viewed as a technical education improvement program. Participants will have the opportunity to interact and network with leading academic experts in the fields of RF and photonics.

About TEQIP
TEQIP conceived in pursuance of the NPE-1986 (revised in 1992) by Govt. of India as a long term program to be implemented in different phases. After successful execution of TEQIP II, TEQIP III starts from 2017-18 as Central Sector Scheme with a focus on the Low Income States, Northeast, Hill States and Islands. The third phase of TEQIP is also special in a way that it incorporates twinning arrangements between mentee & mentor institutions with an emphasis on Focused Training (PT) and Focused Interventions from IITs in terms of deliverables and accountability. KIT, established at IIT Guwahati under 2nd phase of TEQIP is a focal point for training Faculty, Staff and students from TEQIP-III institutions in Knowledge Engineering, Content Creation, Improving Teaching, Pedagogy & administrative skills in identified niche areas/disciplines.About KIT
KIT (Knowledge Incubation Cell for TEQIP) at IIT Guwahati functions as a multi-disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary Innovation Incubation Centre with a focus to impart Knowledge, infusing innovation and leading a path to achieve academic excellence. Its activities are in the area of improving quality of technical education, incubator of Innovative Ideas; implementer of contemporary pedagogy practices and development of Learning Content in Technical institutions while mentoring them.About IIT Guwahati
The Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, the sixth member of the IIT fraternity, was established in 1994 and academic programs commenced in 1995. At present the Institute has eleven departments covering the major engineering and science disciplines. With one of the most beautiful campuses in the continent, the infrastructure for teaching and carrying out advanced research is world class, being equipped with state-of-the-art engineering and scientific instruments. The IIT Guwahati campus stands on a sprawling 285 hectares of land on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra. The campus is about 25 km from the heart of the city. With the majestic Brahmaputra on one side, and hills and vast open spaces on the other side, the campus provides an ideal setting for learning. The city of Guwahati is the gateway to North East India and connected with many major cities in the country by rail and air. Buses (from Pan Bazar overbridge), auto-rickshaws and taxi are available from Guwahati City to the IIT Guwahati Campus.Website:https://www.iitg.ac.in
