About CSI
  • CSI has been a prestigious Association in our university since its inception. It has been working rigorously focusing on the improvement of the students as well as the department in all aspects.
  • Our vision is to make the CSE department as a full-fledged branch where each student thinks out of the box and gains beyond his dreams.
  • Computer Society of India is the first and largest body of computer professionals in India.
  • It was started on 6 March 1965 by a few computer professionals and has now grown to be the national body representing computer professionals. It has 72 chapters across India, 511 student branches, and more than 100,000 members. Since 1974, when CSI became a member of IFIP that is International Federation for Information Processing, CSI has organized many IFIP sponsored events.
