ABOUT

The Computer Engineering Department was established in 2003, after consultations between the senior faculty of the University, technical experts and the Vice-Chancellor regarding the need for education in the field of engineering and technology in the state of Punjab. Earlier it was known as University College of Engineering (UCoE), Punjab, India

The university has drawn up a master plan to be executed in three phases to provide technical education in the basic and specialized fields. Three branches leading to B.Tech. degree have been offered in the first phase. The second phase will introduce another three branches namely Micro-electronics, Power Engineering and Bio-informatics and the third phase will include further expansion, and stress on research work and establishment of a research and development centre with the participation of industry. This centre would provide solutions to the technical problems of the industry and would suggest means for growth of industry in the region.

A central placement cell has been established by Punjabi University for arranging the training and final placement of its students. Companies like Maruti Suzuki, TechMahindra, L&T, Infosys, Wipro, SAP, TATA Motors, Google, Facebook, Aricent, Airtel, Idea Cellular visit the campus every year. The cell is in touch with industry houses and arranges on and off campus interviews of its students with the executives of the industry.

Clubs for technical, cultural and literary subjects have been formed by the students. The Punjabi University is committed to develop UCoE as a Centre of Excellence in Technical Education

Welcome to the department of computer science and engineering, Punjabi university Patiala. Department offers courses of Bachelor of Technology and Masters of Technology in computer science and engineering. The department works with the objective of addressing critical challenges faced by the Industry, society and the academia. Perhaps even more important is our unceasing commitment to our students, helping them to learn, grow, develop, and achieve their goals in their pursuit to excel in their professional career. The department gives exposure to its students, to not study only the regular Engineering curriculum but also develop skills on aspirations of todays corporate world, by inculcating a professional attitude in them. Our labs, with latest facilities and unlimited Internet facility, give our students a cutting edge in technical exploration and enhance their information search and analytical skills. Students are encouraged to join various technical and non-technical forums, which in turn gives them horizontal exposure to Engineering concepts and technology. The department strives to provide a conducive environment for the students to develop analytical and practical skills and apply them to real world problems. To motivate the students the department organizes regular training in state of art software & hardware, arranges workshop, National & International Conferences periodically. I our department,a team of highly experienced faculty members guide the students of this programme to make them responsible and highly knowledgable computer professionals for facing the day by day increasing challenges of the Information Technology industry.
