Curriculum

The Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) has been implemented from the year 2006-07. The courses are classified into basic, core and electives. Most of the theory courses are associated with corresponding laboratory courses to ensure that due importance is given for experimental work. Credits are assigned for each course based on the number of instruction hours allotted per week. A wide range of electives is offered for under-graduate students during the last two semesters of study. Further, they undertake application-oriented project works, along with course work, in the last two semesters. The post-graduate students undertake research-oriented study as project work exclusively for 12 months in the second year.

Laboratories

The following laboratories are established in the department for the conduct of laboratory courses as per the curriculum.
• IoT laboratory
• Microprocessor laboratory
• PC Hardware Laboratory
• High-Performance Computing Laboratory
• UG Software Laboratory
• PG Software Laboratory
