The Department of Computer Science, University of Delhi is a department in the University of Delhi under the Faculty of Mathematical Science, set up in 1981.[1]

Courses

[edit]

The department started the three years Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program in 1982,[2] which was among the first such programs in India. The department started M.Sc. Computer Science course in 2004.[3][4][5]

Besides these the department has research interests in Computer Science and offers a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program. The university conducts a postgraduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) program through its constituent colleges. Emphasis is laid not only on the theoretical concepts but also on practical experience and industry interaction.[6]

Infrastructure

[edit]

The students of the department are affiliated to two libraries.

The Departmental Library: is a reference library with over four thousand titles, in the field of Computer Science and IT and in related areas such as Electronics and Mathematics.

The Central Science Library: is one of the largest science libraries in India. It was established in 1981, and has 2,20,000 volumes of books and periodicals. The website of CSL provides electronic subscription for 27,000 e-journals including IEEE, ACM, Springer journals and proceedings.[7]

  • Internet Connection
    • All the labs, offices and faculty rooms of the Department are connected to the internet through the university intranet. Internet connectivity is provided using 4 switches through the university intranet. 24 port switch is used in LAN, providing internet to all systems in the laboratory, classrooms, seminar room and committee room.
