About PubTech

PubTech is the flagship research publication compendium created by the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at Don Bosco Institute of Technology (DBIT), Mumbai. It is designed to celebrate and disseminate high-quality technical papers authored by final-year engineering students based on their capstone projects.

Every year, final-year undergraduate students undertake complex, industry-relevant, and society-oriented hardware and software projects. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, these efforts culminate in rigorous research papers, prototypes presented at the annual INNOVEX project exhibition, and publications in prestigious international conferences such as IEEE and refereed journals.

Principal's Message (Vol. 5)
Dr. Sudhakar S. Mande • Principal, DBIT

"It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to this special edition of 'PubTech, Vol. 5' featuring a collection of technical papers based on the exceptional final year project work from the Electronics and Telecommunication (EXTC) Department. The culmination of an engineering student's academic journey is marked by the final year project - a testament to their hard work, innovative thinking, and technical acumen... Together, let us celebrate the achievements of our students and look forward to a future filled with groundbreaking discoveries and technological advancements."

HOD's Message (Vol. 5)
Ms. Namita Agarwal • Head of Department, EXTC

"It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I introduce PubTech 5.0, a compilation of research papers based on the final year projects of AY-2023-24. It is a testament to the remarkable work done by our students in collaboration with their research guides... The projects featured in this booklet cover a diverse array of disciplines and topics, reflecting the broad spectrum of interests and expertise within our department. These projects were very much appreciated by Industry professionals and external peers from academia during 'INNOVEX-2024'."

HOD's Message (Vol. 4)
Dr. Ashwini Kotrashetti • Former Head of Department, EXTC

"The final year projects of academic year 2021-2022 compelled the faculty and students to be at their best of creativity. Despite all odds, the projects were very well implemented and tested. The zeal and commitment of the students and their project guide is definitely praiseworthy... PUBTECH 4.0 showcases a compilation of all the papers written based on their projects."

Department Project Mentor's Message (Vol. 4)
Dr. Sudhakar Mande • Project Mentor & Professor, EXTC

"PubTech 4.0 is more than simply a compendium of technical papers; it also serves as an example of how students think creatively and how hard faculty members work to make those ideas a reality. Over the years, the EXTC Department has put in place robust procedures which have raised the bar of project work quality."
