Unique and positive points of the program are:
- The Programme curriculum is a unique combination of courses covering core fundamentals in computer science along with advanced topics aligned with the distinct research areas of our faculty.
- Elective courses and research work span across three spines namely, Theory (logic, graph theory, algorithms), Systems (computer architecture, computer networks, parallel programming), Intelligent Systems (ML and AI).
- Flexible curriculum with options to pursue research projects from as early as 5th semester.
Notable achievements from the students(present or pass-out) of the program are:
- Students of the CSE department have secured admissions for graduates studies in prestigious universities like Columbia, Georgia Tech, University of Southern California etc.
- Ms. Charu Agarwal, a student of the CSE department, was selected for the S. N. Bose Scholars Program.
- A team comprising of students from the CSE department have secured third place in The Embedded Security Challenge (ESC) conducted by NYU Tandon School of Engineering and IIT Kanpur in 2020.
