| The department was established in 1999 with one UG programme. In 2001, a 5-year integrated Master’s programme in Computer Science and Technology and a Master’s programme in Information Technology were started. Considering the fact that India is thrusting itself as the leader into the information technology era, the department aims to impart high quality education and prepare the young women to challenge the ever-demanding IT field. The curriculums of the courses are designed to give strong foundation in all technical aspects of computers and its applications and also to develop the communication and soft skills of the students. Apart from making them good IT professionals, the department takes care to instill strong moral values into each individual to make them good citizens of our nation to serve the industry and society constructively. |
