A four years degree program leading towards a B.Sc. (Honours) Computer Science was introduced by the department in 1999. For students enrolling from September 2003 onwards, B.Sc programs have been re-named and modified into four years B.Sc. Computer Science (CS) and four years B.Sc. Computer Engineering (CE) programs. Three students each from the graduating class of Computer Science and Computer Engineering may opt for a second degree in Computer Engineering and Computer science as the case may be, subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions, from fall semester 2011. The B.Sc CS program is accredited by National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC). PhD. program in Computer Science was launched in 2002 and twenty three students have completed their Ph.D. degree to date from this department.

With expansion in academic programs, computer laboratories in the department have risen to nine spread over two buildings. These laboratories are equipped with 350 computers fully networked with state of the art servers. Computer to student ratio is 1:1. The department is proud of its no-piracy policy. All the operating systems installed are either licensed or open-source operating systems. Microsoft, USA, has an academic alliance with the department. Oracle has also contributed software worth more than Rs 40 million to the department. Department’s computing facilities are linked with Research Center, Main Library and other teaching departments through a fiber optic backbone. Multimedia projectors are fitted where required and Internet facility is available in all laboratories. Department s class rooms are located in a third building known as New Lecture Theaters. In addition, the department has two Electronics Systems Laboratories, one Industrial Automation Laboratory and One Embedded Systems Laboratory.

Current topics of research of CS faculty members include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Estimation Theory, Signal Processing, Modern Control and related areas. Data bases, Semantic Web and related areas, Communications, Wireless Telecommunication and related areas, Software Engineering, Modelling and related areas, Data mining, Data analytics, Data warehousing, Artificial Intelligence and related areas, Artificial Intelligence, Multi-agents expert systems and related areas, Information Retrieval, Web Engineering, data bases and related areas Computer Networks and related areas Bio-informatics, Speech and Language Processing.
