Although the name seems misleading, IEEE does not deal just with electronics but rather with the entire spectrum of engineering fields including electronics, telecommunication, computers, instrumentation, IT etc. In fact, there are separate sub-societies within IEEE that deal specifically with those topics. Students from all fields of engineering from Electronics, Telecommunication, Computers and Instrumentation join IEEE-RAIT.

Other Benefits:
1. Monthly mailing of the Spectrum Magazine from IEEE-USA: Spectrum is an international magazine that provides you an insight into all the latest developments in the various engineering fields and practical information about associated subjects.
2. Organizational experience: IEEE-RAIT members who regularly take interest in organizing the various events that we hold, gain valuable organizational experience and are duly rewarded with IEEE certificates that stand as a proof of their efforts and ability. Members learn to work as part of a team, and learn to delegate responsibly as well as work hard to make an event successful.
3. Foreign universities where you might go for post-graduation or the companies that you approach for placements give a lot of stress on your extra-curricular activities while choosing between candidates. They prefer candidates that can do a lot more than just put pen to paper.
4. By joining IEEE-RAIT, you effectively become part of one of the largest student chapters in Mumbai and can take pride in representing the best that RAIT has to offer.
