Department of Computer Science & Engineering
* NBA ACCREDITED PROGRAMME

Department of

Computer Science & Engineering

The Division of Computing Sciences laid its foundation stone in the year 2001 with the commencement of a B. Tech. programme in Computer Science & Engineering. Later, in 2004 Division of Computing Sciences bifurcated, and the Department of Computer Science & Engineering came into existence. The department currently offers a B. Tech. programme in Computer Science & Engineering with an intake of 180 students in 3 batches, an M. Tech programme in Computer Science with specialization in Information Systems with an intake of 24 students. The department is currently approved as a research centre under KTU for PhD programmes.

Our Programme had been affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala from the 2001 to the 2014 admissions, and is affiliated to the A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technological University, Trivandrum, Kerala from the 2015 admissions onwards. The college is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi.

Department plays a vital role in nurturing students with up-to-date knowledge in Computer Science & Engineering. Bridge courses conducted by the department provide opportunities for the students to strengthen the prerequisites required for various courses in the curriculum. It shows keen interest in offering short term/add-on courses apart from the courses in the curriculum, for uplifting the students to meet the growing needs of the industry. Workshops and hand on sessions are conducted on a regular basis, to put on practice, the theoretical concepts learned in the classrooms. The department frequently conducts seminars and invited talks with the support of experienced resource persons from the industry.

The International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC), which is conducted in a yearly manner, is a forum for the students to interact with eminent researchers and explore the upcoming trends in Computer Science.

The faculty members pursue research in areas like Computer Networking, Computer Architecture, Computer Security, Data Mining, Image Processing, Natural Language Processing, and Theoretical Computer Science. The U.G. and P.G. students are also encouraged to take part in these research activities by taking up projects and publishing their findings in reputed international conferences and journals.

Speed is the motto, time is the constraint and Computer Science is the entity of the era.
