The Department conducts three courses namely B. Sc. (Honours)
Computer Science and B. Sc. Physical Sciences which are undergraduate
courses and Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) which
is a postgraduate course. The Department of Computer Science in our
college with faculty strength of seven has one of the largest permanent
faculty pool for the subject in the University of Delhi. The dedication
of the faculty as well as the hard work of the students has seen
students come up with excellent results in their examinations routinely.
The Department has five state-of-the-art computer laboratories that are available to the students at all times, even during the vacations. The laboratories are equipped with a total of 123 computers (majority of which are Core 2 Duo PIV and i5 processor equiped macines) four servers and twenty five printers. This infrastructure ensures that each student gets individual access to a computer. The computers are connected on a Local Area Network(LAN) which has access to the Internet.
To encourage students to explore alternate computing environments, last year two labs have been converted to run under the Linux Operating System and Free Open Source Software Systems (FOSS) applications. One lab has machines which operate under Linux environment and the other lab has machines capable of booting into Linux and Windows environment.. This has been done as Linux is a robust operating system, both virus free and crash free and its source code is available on Internet for everyone to explore and learn from.
The departmental society Turing organizes festivals, seminars and workshops on various topics which are relevant and current to the field of computer technology. Last year the Department organized series of hands-on workshops on Linux and FOSS for the staff and students of ANDC. Besides faculty members, these workshops also saw students acting as resource persons thus furthering the FOSS philosophy of learning and sharing.
The Opportunity With a three-years Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, students can be immediately absorbed into the IT industry in a variety of profiles. These include hardware jobs in computer design, chip design and maintenance as also software jobs like system programming, software engineering, application programming, and enterprise resource planning. Internet-based job profiles like web designer, database administrator, e-commerce/ e-finance professional are also available, as are other IT-centric job profiles at call centers, in education, marketing advisors and animation and multimedia. Usually a graduate degree in Computer Science needs to be followed up with a MCA, MBA, M. Sc. or, further still, Ph. D. in the subject to improve career prospects. The current thrust on Linux and FOSS has opened up new career opportunities for the students.
