Department of Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science offers three M Tech programmes and Ph.D programmes.

M.Tech Computer and Information Science

The M.Tech. in Computer & information Science is intended to develop Human Resources for System Integration, Data Base Design & Administration, Information Technology Enabled Services, etc. It is a cross migratory programme where any engineering graduate can enroll, with limited entry to post graduates in Science.

Eligibility
  • First class ( 60% marks ) or percentage equivalent of GPA in B.E / B.Tech in any discipline or AMIETE / AMIE or in M.Sc Physics with Electronics as special subject or in M.Sc Mathematics .
  • A valid GATE score.

M.Tech Software Engineering

The M.Tech in Software Engineering is intended to train Computer Engineers to become Software Engineers and professionals, expected to lead software design and development teams, with good proficiency in testing, verification and validation. Software functionality as well as methodology is given adequate importance in the course content.

Eligibility

  • First class B.Sc ( Engg ) or B.Tech degree ( 60% marks ) or percentage equivalent of GPA in Computer Science / Information Technology or AMIETE / AMIE ( CS ) or M.Sc in Computer Science / Computer Software / Operational Research and Computer applications or MCA.
  • A valid GATE score or a score in the DAT where GATE qualified candidate are not available

M.Tech Computer Science with Specialization with Embedded Systems(Part Time)

Eligibility

  • First Class B.Tech degree in Computer Science & Engineering / Electronics Engg. / Information Technology / Electrical Engg. or equivalent branches or M.C.A with 60% marks or equivalent CGPA

Famous quotes containing the words department, computer and/or science:

    “We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.”
    —Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    “What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
    —Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)

    “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
