NSIT is known for having very good and advanced laboratory facilities which are totally accessible to all students. The ECE Department has state-of-the-art lab facilities. Students have easy access to the labs and are free to work on any projects they like in conjunction with the faculty.

Electronics Lab I/II

This lab is used in basic Electronics courses for the students of all the four streams. The laboratory has a large number of basic equipment.

 This lab  is used for practical works related to Digital Circuits & Systems, Computer Systems and Architecture and Microprocessor applications. Students learn about various integrated circuits families (TTL, CMOS) as well as ROM, EROMS and RAM. A number of 8085/8086 Trainer kits are available for teaching Microprocessor applications.

 The Microprocessor lab is used by undergraduate students of the institute to perform experiments based on 8085 microprocessor kits and peripheral boards. The lab is equipped with 8085 kits, 8051 kits, AVR RISC microcontroller kits and TI DSP kits. The laboratory also offers the use of a few P-IV computers for 8085 assembler, AVR assembler and debugger and C cross compiler.

This laboratory is being developed mainly for use by the M. Tech (Signal Processing) students and for research and development in embedded systems. Currently, the students use AVR evaluation kits. Use of 32-bit ARM evaluation and development kits is being planned.

 This lab contains facilities to conduct experimental work related to Bipolar and MOS Analog Integrated Circuits, Linear integrated Circuits.
