About NCC 2024

The National Conference on Communications (NCC) is the flagship conference of India in the area of Communications, Signal Processing and Networks. It has been organized every year, starting from the year 1995, by the Joint Telematics Group (JTG) of the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science. More information on the previous editions of NCC can be found here. The Thirtieth National Conference on Communications (NCC-2024) will be jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, from 28th February- 2nd March 2024. NCC-2024 will be held as an in-person event at IIT Madras.

The conference will feature technical Paper sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, workshops and plenary and invited talks by renowned researchers from around the globe. “Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements”. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit their original research findings to the following and other related areas: click here.
