Vision
Mission
M 2: To carry out research in frontier areas of computer science and engineering.
M 3: To serve the community through extension and professional services.
Values
Harmony and Respect: Remarkable activities succeed in an environment where people pursue what they are passionate about, apply skills they relish. and contribute to overall development as people are valued, trusted, and supported through professional positive relationships with colleagues, students, peers and the larger community.
Inclusion and Social Justice: Diverse comprehensive culture encourages acceptance of various backgrounds, perspectives and experiences while acting responsibly to ensure every opportunity is accessible to all.
Outreach: Quality of learning and exploration is enriched by interactions with industry, government, and mentors at all levels. Engagements with communities inside and outside of academe benefit the department, university, eventually country and the globe.
B.Sc. in CSE (Code: 621)
CSE curriculum integrates not just computational knowledge with applied engineering, but also other related subjects of study, including the humanities, accountancy, presentation skills, creativity, teamwork, and business and management abilities. In present-day industries, these abilities are seen as absolutely necessary for an engineer to tackle the challenges of real-world situations. In the majority of circumstances, a career in engineering entails a complex network of interconnected factors. An engineer operating in a real-world environment must be vigilant, proactive, and aware of all the surrounding situations. Therefore, education in CSE might be considered an example of a well-rounded education.
