| The Department of Computer Science was started in 1986 with a vision to prepare young women for the many opportunities in the field of computers. Exposure to all areas of Computer Science is needed to face the challenges posed by technological advancement. Hence a balanced curriculum of software and hardware was designed under the academic autonomy enjoyed by the College. Thus B.Sc. Computer Science, a six semester degree course was implemented as the first of its kind in the University of Madras in 1987. The department is proud of its vision coming true, as its 17 batches of graduates are well placed in the IT industry in companies and institutions in India and abroad. Innovative teaching techniques and modernized syllabi are the tools that make our vision come true. |
