AND ENGINEERING
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CALICUT
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, NIT Calicut offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in computer science and engineering and doctoral degree program.
The fast-changing scenario in Information Technology necessitates the department to actively extend its research and development activities. The current research interests of the department include major areas of research in computer science.
To be a Centre of Excellence in the Discipline of Computing.
MISSION
To develop human resource with sound knowledge- theory and practical - in the discipline of computing and the ability to apply the knowledge to the benefit of the society at large.
From its inception about a century ago, computing has become the defining technology of our age. The study of computing is the study of the process of abstraction and its power, the practice of design and implementation, mathematical theory of computation and its implications.
Undergraduate programme in Computer Science and Engineering started in the year 1985 in the then Electrical Engineering Department. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) was formally established as an independent entity in the year 1997 as a result of trifurcation of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
The three-year MCA programme started in 1988. The two-year M.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering started in 1998. The two-year M.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering (Information Security) started in 2006. The two-year M.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics) started in 2023. PhD programme started in 2002.
