Department Overview
The Department of Computer Science & Engineering was established in 2007 with an initial student intake of 60, in response to the growing needs of the software industry. The intake was subsequently increased to 120 in 2009, 180 in 2014, and 240 in 2022, reflecting the department's steady growth and rising demand. The Computer Science & Engineering program is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for a period of three years, valid up to 2026. The department is equipped with modern, well-appointed laboratories and ICT-enabled classrooms, including workspaces with i7-processor systems, Wi-Fi-enabled study areas, and GPU-enabled systems for complex computation. It is further strengthened by a team of highly qualified faculty and staff committed to delivering Outcome-Based Education (OBE) through rigorous, scientific assessment practices. In line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the department has embraced OBE as its core pedagogical framework, ensuring that teaching, learning, and assessment remain closely aligned with defined Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), Program Outcomes (POs), and Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs). To bridge the gap between industry and academia, the department has developed a Center of Excellence in Machine Learning and Digital Forensics, Intelligence and Cyber Security. A dedicated Skill Center and Programming Enhancement Center have also been established to strengthen students' technical capabilities. A dedicated faculty team supports students preparing for careers in top-tier companies and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), while the department also provides guidance for competitive and higher-studies entrance examinations such as GRE, TOEFL, CAT, MAT, and GATE. The department hosts active professional bodies, including the IEEE Student Branch and the IE(I) Student Chapter, along with its own student club, the Sahyadri Open-Source Community (SOSC), which fosters leadership and decision-making skills to support students' holistic development. These bodies regularly organize workshops, hackathons, ideathons, webinars, and seminars, and play a key role in strengthening industry–institute interaction. The college has established in-house industry ventures—Sahynex Techsolutions Pvt. Ltd., RDL Technologies, and Inunity—offering students real-time industry exposure through dedicated Industry Connect courses. An incubation center, established under the New Age Incubation Network (NAIN), Government of Karnataka, nurtures entrepreneurial activity and start-ups, complemented by the Shine Foundation for entrepreneurship-related initiatives and the Atal Community Innovation Centre (ACIC), which supports innovation and incubation efforts. The department has also signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with various industries to facilitate internships, industry visits, knowledge sharing, and curriculum development.
