Department of Computer Science & Information Technology
Department Introduction
The Department of Information Technology was started in 2014 with the start of university. For Computer Scientists the current era is full of excitement and challenges as the discipline is now widely recognized to be an essential source of tools and techniques for advancements in nearly all spheres of human endeavor. Information Technology/ Computer Science are a fascinating subject, and one that is now indispensable in our lives. Almost every aspect of modern life involves computing – from mobile phones, TVs, planes, trains and cars, to gaming, security and medicine. Every organization’s payroll, customer records and finances are held electronically, sometimes containing millions and millions of records. The digital world is really upon us. Looking to the future, initiatives such as cloud computing will connect us all through small portable devices, enhancing social networking and allowing us to exchange audio and video data from our daily lives. Keeping in mind the absolute dependence of the contemporary world requirements over Information technology the program offered by the department is tailored towards producing computer scientists capable of achieving new heights in innovation and enhancement of technology to provide the world an even better tomorrow. Our program is accredited by the Higher Education commission and to achieve excellence we strictly follow the standard curriculum guidelines as laid down by the HEC.
Vision
