The Department of Computer Science and Applications was established in 2006 with a vision to cultivate the professionals of tomorrow. With the pervasive influence of computers, the department currently serves over 5000 students, addressing various computing needs.
Its objectives are well-defined:
In essence, the department is dedicated to preparing students not just academically but also ethically and professionally for the challenges of the modern computing landscape.
“To create, share, and apply knowledge in Computer Science, and interdisciplinary areas that extend the scope & applicability of Computer Science for the benefit of humanity.”
“To be a center of Excellence in the Discipline of Computing.”
Students have access to teaching labs, a massive collection of software, and high-performance research computers. As expected, classrooms employ advanced technology, hardware facilities, the department has 03 Computers Labs equipped with printers ( Laser & Dot Matrix), CD writers, DLP Projectors, Laptops, Webcams, etc. along with the required software’s and Internet Facility and Audio-Visual Teaching aids.
1. Computer Labs: Equipped with state-of-the-art computers, software applications, and high-speed internet connectivity for hands-on practical sessions and project work.
2. Specialized Software: Access to a wide range of specialized software tools and programming environments for various domains such as software development, data analysis, Hardware, etc.
3. Networking Infrastructure: Robust networking infrastructure including servers, routers, switches, and firewalls to support networking courses, and practical exercises.
4. Project Development Facilities: Facilities for hardware prototyping, Printing, and electronics experimentation to support projects involving embedded systems, IoT (Internet of Things), and robotics.
