Department Faculty
Meet our dedicated faculty members committed to academic excellence and technical mentorship.
The Department of BCA/AI&DS is equipped with well-maintained and modern laboratory facilities to support effective teaching and practical learning. The laboratories are designed to provide hands-on experience to students in various domains of Computer Science.
The department has a spacious computer lab with a sufficient number of systems configured with the latest software and tools required for programming, database management, and web development. High-speed internet connectivity enables students to access online resources, coding platforms, and learning materials efficiently.
The lab is also supported with smart board facilities, which enhances the teaching–learning process through interactive sessions, presentations, and demonstrations. Faculty members use these tools to explain advanced concepts such as IoT, programming, and emerging technologies in a more effective and visual manner.
The laboratory environment encourages students to engage in practical sessions, mini-projects, and skill development activities, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications.
BCA students have consistently excelled in academic competitions, hackathons, coding contests, and placement drives. They have won prizes in technical symposiums, paper presentations, and project exhibitions. Many have secured internships and placements in leading IT companies. The department takes pride in nurturing technically skilled, innovative, and socially responsible professionals.
The Department of BCA/AI&DS regularly organizes technical events, workshops, seminars, and industrial visits to provide holistic learning experiences. Events include hackathons, coding competitions, guest lectures by industry experts, and technical symposiums. Industrial visits to IT companies, software parks, and research labs help students understand real-world applications of computer science and emerging technologies.
