"Department of Computer science at a Glance"
The inception of Department of Computer Science & Engineering dates back to the earliest days of the university in the year 1997 and remains one of its distinctive features. Having established with a firm footing in the field of technical education today, we can proudly reminiscence a wonderful period of growth by leaps and bounds for 20 long years. The department stemmed with intent to provide educational innovation, advance knowledge and educate student. This spirit still guides us in every possible way to tailor, shape and build the finest technocrats.
The cohesive unit of 33 dedicated, qualified and motivated faculty members with a blend of experience and exuberance led by a young and vibrant leader has held the departmental banner flying high for the last 20 years. With expertise in diverse fields ranging from Wireless Sensor Networks, Mobile Computing, Quantum Computing, Robotics, Natural Language Processing, Computer Networks, and Big Data to Geographical Information System, the department is proud to have honed for over 1700 alumni till date. The enduring dedication and commitment of our faculty members and students has fueled many quality research publications with citations. Apart from regular academic course, the teachers and students are also engaged in conducting workshops in alliance with renowned external agencies like IITs, ISRO, TIFR, ISI Kolkata, Sikkim University, Assam University to name a few. These workshops have been immensely beneficial to its participants which are proven by the skill levels exhibited by them.
The rigorous training that the students undergo makes them worthy professionals with mental agility and technical skill sets sought after by the IT Industry. No wonder, the students of Computer Science and Engineering bag the most number of on-campus placement offers and our glittering alumni are working with organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Dell, IBM, ANZ, JP Morgan Chase, CISCO, eBay, American Express to name a few. The department is an educational avenue for three different courses namely; B.tech, M.Tech and PhD. With the AICTE sanctioned intake of 180 for UG and 18 for PG course the department alone is home to over 600 students.
The department is enriched with Nine established state –of-art laboratories namely:
- Advanced Programming Lab
- Basic Programming Lab
- Multi Programming Lab
- Robotics Lab
- Networking Lab
- ISRO Sponsored Geo Informatics Lab
- Post graduate and Research Lab
- Digital Circuit & Microprocessor Lab
- Remote Sensing & GIS Lab
These labs are equipped with around 78 i5 and 150 i3 systems and a number of High End Servers to provide excellent facilities for learning. With active support and funding received from two of our esteemed agencies i.e. AICTE and ISRO three labs were established to enable our students to pursue research and development activities, along with continuous development in infrastructure. The department has a well maintained department library having over 2500 titles for ready reference and issue.
ACCESS (All Core Computer Engineers student’s Society), D'coderS Group (Aims to promote an active and dynamic culture in campus) VIBRANCE (The Cultural Committee) and SIG (Special Interest Group) are four student’s society which provides a platform for our budding engineers to showcase their technical and cultural creativity. Departmental Techno-Cultural Fest Vaastusasmitam is an annual affair wherein students expose their mesmerizing performances in sports, games, co-curricular, cultural and technical activities.
Department offers minor specilization in:
In the academic front students are exposed to the core subjects includes: Data Structures, Computer Algorithms, Operating System, Computer networks, Object Oriented programming, Database Management System, Programming Lanuages, Distributed Computing, Mobile Computing, Soft Computing etc. along with advanced areas like:
