IOE Syllabus of Electromagnetics (EM)

Electromagnetics (EM) was introduced for Third Year – First Part of Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering by IOE to provide basic understanding of the fundamentals of Electromagnetics to the engineering students. It has 1 tutorial and 3/2 practicals. Electromagnetics is compulsory course for BE Electrical, Electronics & Communication and Computer. The subject code of EM is EX503. We will be updating the notes of Electromagnetics soon, keep on following us.
