Message of the HOD

Established in 1988, our department has been at the forefront of computer science education and research for over three decades. We began our journey with the pioneering PGDCA course and have since expanded to offer M.Sc., M.C.A., MPhil and Ph.D. programs equipping our students with a strong foundation and advanced expertise in the field of Computer Science. The syllabus is designed, updated and refined in close interaction with the inputs from the industry and incorporates latest technologies and applications in the field with practical, projects, internship and experiential learning modules. Students successfully completed the internship programme from different reputed organizations like NIC Bhubaneswar, DRDO, MCL, East Coast Railways, WayIndia, NIC Sambalpur, Interface, iEaon Tech, IDCOL Software Limited, NIC Sundergarh, OSEPA Govt. of Odisha, Integrated Test Range Chandipur, Dassault Systems Bengaluru, DCRB, Smera Technologies Hyderabad, NIC Nuapada, VSS medical Hospital Burla, RTTC BSNL, OCAC Bhubaneswar, NIC Rayagada and many more. To its credit, a large number alumni are placed in various senior positions in premier Government and leading corporate IT sectors such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, HCL Technologies, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Mindtree, Oracle, L&T Technology Services, Cognizant, Microsoft, Mphasis, Accenture, Amazon, Google, IBM, Cisco, Alphabet, NIC, HP, DELL, Capgemini, Deloitte and many more. Our commitment to innovation shines through our research focus, encompassing cutting-edge areas such as image and video processing, computer vision, computer security, and IoT. I take this liberty to invite you to our vibrant Department for placement and collaboration in shaping the future of technology and knowledge in the digital age.

Infrastructure Facilities

The Department boasts an impressive array of infrastructure facilities that cater to the diverse needs of both students and faculty. The department has two cutting-edge computer labs, Computer Lab 1 with 35 high-end computers and Computer Lab 2 with 20 high-end computers, ensuring ample access to the latest technology for hands-on learning and research. There are four laser printers for efficient documentation to support academic activities with one Smart Interactive panel, 04 LCD projectors with motorised screen, 01 Visualizer while two well-furnished air-conditioned classrooms provide comfortable spaces for lectures and collaborative learning. A fully air-conditioned seminar hall with ammenities such as LCD projectors with motorised screen, lectern with sophisticated sound systems, amplifier and mixer is a perfect setting for academic gatherings, presentations, and seminars.

MOU Signed

The Department has signed two significant Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) to advance computer education and research. The first MOU, in 2015, involved a partnership with IIT Bombay and was funded by the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT), Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. This initiative aimed to provide software training through spoken tutorials. The second MOU, established in 2017, was with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, and was funded by the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan(RUSA), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. This collaboration focused on installing and deploying "PARAM Shavak," a high-performance computing solution, enhancing the University's computing capabilities for advanced research and training to students, research scholars and faculties of the University .

CSR Fund Received

The Department received two significant CSR funds in 2022. The first sponsorship, amounting to Rs. 27,25,865, was provided by the CSR Department of JSW Bhushan Power & Steel Limited, Rengali, Sambalpur, with the aim of supporting the development of a new computer Training Centre. The second sponsorship, totaling Rs. 10,00,000, was generously contributed by UCO Bank's General Administrative Department, Zonal Office, Ainthapali Road, Sambalpur, with a specific focus on establishing a computer Training Centre tailored to the needs of SC/ST students. These funds signify a meaningful partnership between industry and academia, enhancing educational opportunities in computer science and applications for the benefit of students at Sambalpur University, with a particular emphasis on empowering underprivileged communities.
