about Us

The Computer Science and Engineering Department of NERIST came into existence right at the inception of the Institute in 1986. It offers a unique combination of courses and projects that helps its students to cope with the recent advancements in the Computer Industry and Information Technology. The department gives diploma and degree in Computer Science and Engineering in modular pattern.

The faculty members of the department are involved in various inter-disciplinary research projects funded by agencies like CSIR, MHRD, NEC, DoE etc. The interactions of the faculty members with other Govt. and non-Govt. institutions have helped in increasing the employment prospects of passed-out graduates in organizations like, Infosys, C-Dot, SIEMENS, Tata Telecom, British Mahindra Telecom, DRDO, NICNET, ISRO, OIL, CSIR, Telecom, CMC, PCL, HCL, IDPL, IOC, SAIL. TELCO, TISCO, ESCORTS, Mindtree, State Departments of Electronics, Power & PHED.

It offers regular courses like Computer Organization, Data Structures, Application Software, Operating Systems, Discrete Mathematics, Digital Electronics, Microprocessors, Database Management Systems, Compiler Design, Data Communications, Computer Networks, Design and Analysis of Algorithms to name a few of them. Apart from the regular courses a few of the important courses offered are Artificial Intelligence, VLSI Design, Image processing, Fault Tolerant Computing, Information Theory, Distributed Processing, etc.

The Department has well equipped laboratories with state-of-the art machines. The Systems Laboratory is basically for working in the UNIX environment and is equipped with servers and terminals, although, one can also work in DOS and Windows platforms too. Hands-on exposure to various programming software such as C, C++, FORTRAN, VisualBasic.NET, Visual C++.NET, Visual C#.NET, etc. and RDBMS software like Oracle is given in this lab. The students are also given access to the INTERNET and E-mail facility. The PC Laboratory is well equipped with sophisticated computers. The students get exposure to various types of Application Software such as Visual Basic, Dbase, LOTUS, Visual C++, etc in this lab. Basic Computer training for the students of all the Departments of NERIST is also given here. Training related to courses like Microprocessors and Digital Electronics is imparted in DE & Microprocessor Laboratory. This Laboratory is equipped with different types of microprocessor and micro-controller kits. It also has the facility for training in Digital Electronics. The Hardware Laboratory is well equipped with different computer components like CPUs, motherboards, hard disks, and peripherals like monitors, printers, keyboards, mouse, color TV and other related tool kits for students to have practical exposure for courses like PC maintenance and fault tolerant computing.

The department has a full-fledged seminar hall, which can accommodate about 40 people. The seminar hall plays the important role of a center where ideas and information exchange take place. The department library caters to the need of the students and teachers alike. Books and materials related to the courses run by the department and other research areas are made available in the library.

The final year projects are offered taking into consideration the rapid advancements in the Computer Industry and Information Technology. The students of the department carry out projects in fields like Computer Networks, Neural Networks, JAVA implementation, CORBA, COM-DCOM, Cluster Computing in PVM Platform, E Commerce, Web-site Development, Parallel and Distributed Processing, Agents, etc.
