Vibrant Learning Experiences

Education built for outcomes, not just credits

The knowledge and competence students build here, year after year, brings leading companies to campus regularly for placement offers, while many others go on to postgraduate study at top universities worldwide. Summer and international internships add practical exposure to a professional work environment.

Industry-Oriented Research

Started with a small group in a single room, department research has grown into a hub where a large number of students work on independent and collaborative projects, funded by government bodies and industry, resulting in publications at premier conferences and journals.

Dynamic Faculty

Staff committed to academic excellence and to inspiring students to do their best — attracting leading companies in search of top talent, and active in hosting conferences that bring together industry experts and delegates.

Advanced Infrastructure

Well-equipped laboratories for experimental work, lecture halls with audio-visual recording & streaming, a library, faculty lounge, seminar hall and discussion rooms keep the academic environment active around the clock.

About the Department

Building the ICT workforce of tomorrow

Our programs are designed to create globally competent manpower for the information and communication technology industry, while preparing students equally well for postgraduate education at the best universities across the globe.

These twin objectives are met through an optimal mix of fundamental theory and practical, current, industry-relevant subjects. Students build specialist knowledge in applied computer science, with the flexibility to follow their own interests through optional modules, courses and electives.

  • Fundamental theory paired with current, industry-relevant electives
  • Flexible optional modules & specialised courses
  • Direct pathway into PES University's placement network
