Dean’s Welcome
Welcome to the School of Computing at DIT University.
The School of Computing has been constituted to include all the departments that offers academic programs in various levels of Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate, Postgraduate and PhD in Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Applications and allied areas.
Computer Science education in DIT dates back to more than two decades, with establishment of the department of Computer Science and Engineering, and subsequently the departments of Information Technology and Computer Applications.
Located in peaceful and pristine Doon Valley, these departments provided holistic and cutting-edge computer education in all levels and soon became the most sought-after among students who want to make a bright career in computing. Steadily, the programs had grown in size and prestige enough to become a school in its own right, and hence it was decided to constitute the School of Computing that will house these departments.
The School of Computing will maintain its leading role of providing best quality education in all areas of computing. The School has dedicated groups of faculties in emerging areas of research and development in Computer Science, who continuously updates existing course offerings, and designs latest major electives to equip students with knowledge and skills that are high in demand by the computer industry.
The faculty supervises research and development projects with students in all levels of undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD, resulting in completion of highly applied projects with societal applications, intellectual property, and publication of papers in prestigious national and International conferences and journals.
Starting Academic Year 2020, School of Computing introduces a Fully Flexible Choice Based Curriculum in its B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering Program, at par with international standards. It allows a student complete flexibility in choosing multidisciplinary courses in his/her program, pursue a specialisation, and earn additional certificates in niche areas, thus becoming a complete market ready Professional on graduation.
The School will continue expanding its academic program offerings, develop high end facilities, provide top placement opportunities to our graduates, and is establishing specialised labs in key emerging areas to support research and teaching at all levels.
