Overview

Overview

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) endeavors to meet the challenges of changing technology and Industry 5.0. The Department is equipped with talented pool of faculty members, meritorious students and state of the art infrastructure. The Department offers BTech in Computer Science and Engineering, BTech in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) and 3 MTech programmes – MTech in Computer Science and Engineering, MTech in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in Cyber Security and MTech in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in Data Science, Master of Computer Applications (MCA), and Ph.D. Programmes. Under the NEP scheme, the Department also offers interdisciplinary minors in Data Science, Computer Science and Software Engineering to students of other programmes. The Department also offers disciplinary minors in Adaptive AI and Cyber Security. The students have the opportunity to study a series of courses based on their area of interest. In addition to basic computing facilities, the Department has established advanced laboratories housing high end workstations, NVIDIA Volta and Pascal GPU systems, CISCO networking equipment, IoT devices, HCI devices and specialised software for cyber security and forensics. The Department has strong collaboration with many research organisations and leading industries like ISRO, INS-Valsura, PRL, IPR, BISAG, Infosys, CISCO Network Academy, Johnson Control Hitachi Air Conditioning India Limited, Indian Air Force etc. for academic and research activities. Linkages with top notch universities abroad has also facilitated internships, pre-approved MS programmes, and faculty exchange. Centre of Excellence in Data Science is also established in the Department in association with the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, US since 2020. The Department takes pride in its alumni presence in the Multinational Companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Oracle, Intel, Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Commvault, Bosch, Bloomberg LP and many more.
