"Department of Computer science at a Glance"
The Department of Computer Science & Engineering was established in the year 1997 and continues to remain one of the best performing departments of the University. Having established a firm footing in the field of technical education today, we can proudly reminiscence a wonderful period of growth by leaps and bounds for 25 long years. The department stemmed with the 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 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 25 years.
Currently, the department offers the following three programs:
- Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering – NBA Accredited
- Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning)
- Master of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering
The department also offers PhD in various areas of Computer Science & Engineering.
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, our faculty members and students has produced 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.
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 enriched with nine (09) high end laboratories, namely:
- Basic Programming Laboratory
- Multi-Programming Laboratory
- Advanced Programming Laboratory
- Robotics Lab
- Networking Lab
- Post graduate and Research Lab I
- Post graduate and Research Lab II
- Data Analytics Lab (Research Lab)
- Remote Sensing & GIS Lab
Each laboratory is equipped with high end computing devices supporting 1:1 student computer ratio. The laboratories are configured to give students exposure to multi-platform computing experience with high speed internet access.
Apart from academics, the department also takes care of the students all round growth through the All Core Computer Engineering Students Society (ACCESS) which organizes techno-cultural events, coding competitions and a host of other events.
The department also encourages peer-to-peer learning through workshops and special events under the aegis of the Student-for-student initiative.
The syllabus is updated every three (03) years in consultation with Board of Studies members comprising of industry experts from leading industry houses, academic experts from institutes of repute, alumni and teachers. Student feedback is also given due weightage during reframing of syllabus. Drawn in line with the National Education Policy 2020, the syllabus promotes project based learning, industry interaction and self-paced learning through MOOC NPTEL courses.
The students may choose from a wide range of program and open electives giving them the opportunity to acquire cross-departmental knowledge. The department also gives the option to earn Honours through an extra 20 credits in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and data Science.
