Department of Computer Science & Engineering

Department Overview

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering has been in existence from the inception of CMRIT in 2000. The department even offers an M.Tech program in the field of Computer Science Engineering. The department is a recognized research centre under VTU and offers the doctoral programs in computer sciences.

The department aims to provide students with a strong foundation in Computer Science and enable them to integrate their knowledge with other disciplines for carrying out innovative discoveries.

Many of the computer science graduates from CMRIT step directly into computer-related career positions in both private and government agencies, while some choose to continue their education in graduate degree programs.

Accreditation, Approvals and Recognition:

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering is approved by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi, and AICTE, New Delhi. It is permanently affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belgaum in Karnataka and is also recognized by Govt. of Karnataka.
