About

Computer Science & Technology

The Department of Computer Science & Technology was established in 2001, recognising the rapid development of Information Technology and the need for quality computing education. It shares the same Jesuit ethos of holistic development combined with technical rigour.

The curriculum is continuously updated to reflect industry demands, incorporating Python, Full-Stack Web Development, Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Cloud Computing. Students work on live industry projects, participate in hackathons, and develop entrepreneurial ventures through dedicated incubation support.

"Technology without conscience is a tool without purpose. Our CST department produces engineers who code not just for profit — but for people."

The department maintains active ties with Microsoft, Google, and AWS for student certification programmes, and its alumni have founded successful startups and joined top-tier technology companies across India and abroad.
