About the Department

The Humanities and Sciences department was established with the B.Tech Program in 2020 with an intake of 60 students. The department lays the foundation for engineering education by equipping students with strong fundamentals in basic sciences, mathematics, and communication skills.

The department is a combination of various subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English and Environmental Science, forming the backbone of the engineering curriculum for all branches.

Welcome to the Department of Humanities & Sciences. Our department is committed to building strong fundamentals in basic sciences, mathematics, and communication skills for students across all engineering branches, while fostering research, innovation, and holistic student development.

Head of Department

The department aims to develop graduates with strong expertise in computation, algorithms, data structures, programming, software development, Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, Big Data, cybersecurity, and secure application development. Students are provided exposure to programming languages and technologies such as C, Python, Java, and open-source technologies, along with emerging areas relevant to industry and research.

The department has established Centres of Excellence and industry-supported initiatives in niche technological areas in collaboration with leading organizations such as PEGA Systems, CTS, TCS, Infosys, etc and other industry partners. These collaborations provide students and faculty with opportunities for exposure to current technologies, industry practices, hands-on training, certifications, internships, projects, and real-world problem solving.

The department follows a student-centric and experiential learning approach through a wide range of academic and co-curricular activities, including classroom teaching, seminars, student presentations, video lectures, MOOCs, NPTEL/SWAYAM courses, online learning, Minor and Honors programmes, internships, project-based learning, experiential learning, coding activities, hackathons, and industry-oriented training. These initiatives facilitate the development of technical competencies, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, teamwork, leadership qualities, innovation, and lifelong learning capabilities.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) has been recognized by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University–Gurajada Vizianagaram (JNTU-GV) as a Research Centre for the academic years 2023–24, 2024–25, 2026–27, and 2027–28. This recognition reflects the department's sustained commitment to strengthening research, innovation, and advanced learning in Computer Science and Engineering and its emerging areas.

The department has a strong research-oriented faculty base. All eligible faculty members holding Ph.D. qualifications have been recognized as research guides by JNTU-GV, in accordance with the applicable university norms. The recognized research guides have been allocated research scholars and are actively engaged in guiding doctoral research in their respective areas of specialization.

The Research Centre provides a structured platform for faculty members and research scholars to undertake advanced and interdisciplinary research, publish research outcomes in reputed journals and conferences, pursue funded research, develop intellectual property, undertake consultancy and collaborative research, and address industry and societal challenges through innovative technological solutions. The department promotes a vibrant research culture through faculty research, doctoral research, student projects, publications, workshops, seminars, collaborations, and innovation-oriented activities.
