About the Department

EST. 1977
About Us

The undergraduate program in Computer Science and Engineering started with the admission of its first batch of B.E. students in the year 1987. It was then under the Department of Electrical Engineering from which it along with the undergraduate program in Electronics and Communication Engineering got separated under the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering in the year 2000. From the year 2000 till 2008 the department was under the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. In the year 2008 the Department of Computer Science and Engineering became an independent department. The department offers B. Tech., M. Tech. and Ph. D. programmes. With sound Vision and Mission, this department provides a platform for nurturing Engineers and researchers to lead the country in particular and the entire World in general. The department is well-equipped with ultra-modern facilities for research. To name a few the department has Blade Server (IBM 7 blades), Thermal Cameras, Workstations, latest configured Desktop PCs, etc. Furthermore, the department has procured dozens of software, namely, IBM Rational Rose, QUALNET, Red-hat linux, Windows, Matlab, etc. The faculties and the students of the department work in tandem to create a unique identity in the country.

Our Vision

Academics & Program

undergraduate

The B.Tech Programme consists of 8 semesters and is a professional engineering degree affiliated with and awarded after completion of 4-years of extensive/vast engineering study and research. Computer science and engineering students will learn about basic engineering techniques, as other engineering students, during first year course, which includes Engineering Mathematics, Physics , Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering , Engineering Mechanics , Mechanical Activities( Welding, Fitting , Carpentry ,etc.) , Engineering drawing and Basic Programming. From second year they are exposed to core computer science subjects like Data Structures, Applied Graph Theory , Computer Organization and Architecture , Computer Graphics , Microprocessors and Peripherals , Operating Systems , Software Engineering , Compiler Design are few to mention. This programme is one of the most popular and demanded course , not only in India but in the world.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

The Ph.D. programme is a post-graduate programme focussed on original research, that can lead to publications in premier conferences or journals. It is the highest level of degree that a student can achieve. Students are required to do some courses in the first few semesters (course work required can vary based on student background), but soon move on completely to research. Many Ph.D scholars teaches B.tech students also and many labs are run by them. After completing the programme the scholar is capable of understanding significant particulars of computer system.

Postgraduate

The department is offering three Postgraduate Programmes

  1. M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering
  2. M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence
  3. M.Tech in Data Science and Engineering

The M.Tech programme in Computer Science and Engineering/Artificial Intelligence/Data Science and Engineering provide advanced knowledge in various areas of computer science. The programme is designed such that a student can complete it based on advanced coursework alone. However, the students are given the option to concentrate on a problem by substituting some of the courses with equivalent project work. The standard M. Tech. is a two year programme, where the first two semesters are spent doing courses. A one-year project commences in end of the 2nd semester . The project typically has a strong research component.
