Today, most of the real world activities and fields, right from calculations to space exploration are being computerized as the operations can be much faster and error free with the computer applications. This has resulted in an increased demand for skilled and competent professionals in the computer engineering sector. To cater to this, the Department of Computer Science & Engineering was established at SMVITM in 2010, offering Bachelor of Engineering course with an intake of 60 students per year. The intake was raised to 120 students from the academic year 2012-13. The Department aims at training the students to be industry-ready by the end of their course through regular curriculum as prescribed by the University and also with supplementary programs, throughout their study.
The Department of Computer Science & Engineering is one of the much sought after departments at SMVITM. The Department has well qualified and motivated faculty members who are highly committed to the overall development of the students.
Along with the regular curriculum, the Department organizes various guest-lectures/invited talks by eminent faculty from reputed institutions/industry experts to keep students up-to-date about the latest technological developments. In addition to this, there are some eminent academicians appointed as Adjunct Faculty with the Department to supplement teaching, mentoring and guiding the students as well as the faculty members and also to promote research culture in the Department.
The Department has state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with high-end computers and other required peripherals to meet the academic needs of students. The Department has the most sophisticated and state of the art computer labs aimed at giving hands-on training to the students in the most advanced areas in programming and soft ware development. In addition to the existing labs, an internet lab as a central facility is being developed.
