Started Campus Teaching in 2021 with an initial intake of 60 students, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has rapidly evolved into a center of academic excellence. Driven by the growing reputation of the University and an increasing demand from prospective students, the department has since expanded its capacity to accommodate 150 students annually. In 2024, the department introduced three new specialized undergraduate and postgraduate programs in collaboration with NIELIT Gorakhpur: Bachelor of Computer Applications (Internet of Things) with 60 seats, Bachelor of Computer Applications (Machine Learning and Data Science) with 60 seats, and a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence with 30 seats. Building on this academic momentum, 2025 saw the launch of additional advanced programs, including Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Master of Computer Applications (MCA), and Master of Technology (M.Tech). To support these academic initiatives, the department is developing cutting-edge laboratories equipped with modern computing infrastructure. These facilities will support innovation and practical learning in diverse fields such as Data Science, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and Cyber Security and Digital Forensics. Plans are also underway to introduce postgraduate and doctoral research programs in the near future.

What truly sets the department apart is its vibrant and forward-thinking academic environment that nurtures innovation, creativity, and a commitment to technological progress. Students are encouraged to explore beyond the classroom through active participation in poster presentations, technical events, project design contests, and a variety of cultural and extracurricular activities. Regular industrial training and annual industrial visits further enhance students' practical exposure and industry readiness. The department has consistently delivered strong placement outcomes, with over 50% of its students securing positions in reputed multinational companies. Academic activities are well-aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and dedicated sessions are held to support GATE preparation. In 2025, 12 students qualified the GATE exam, with the highest rank being an impressive 120. The department also offers 34 NPTEL elective courses, and in the academic year 2023–24, students Mr. Ashawini Yadav and Aakash Singh secured top 5% national rankings in Affective Computing and Introduction to IoT, respectively. A major highlight of the 2024–25 academic session was the successful implementation of the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) program. Over 300 students enrolled in industry-relevant courses on Artificial Intelligence, Coding and Programming, Big Data, and Internet of Things. A notable achievement from this initiative was Mr. Amit Maurya, who received a ₹1 Lakh cash prize and a laptop from Samsung India. The certificate distribution ceremony, held on 26 July 2024, was graced by the Honourable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji and Mr. J.B. Park, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics Southwest Asia.

Students of the department have earned accolades in national-level hackathons and model exhibitions, including those hosted by premier institutes like IIT Delhi. The department actively promotes internships through collaborations with organizations such as ISKCON Gorakhpur. Furthermore, two transformative leadership workshops were conducted to nurture values and personal growth among students: “Principle-Centred Leadership” on 26 February 2024, and “Leadership Sutras from the Bhagavad Gita” on 25 March 2025. With a strong foundation in innovation, practical exposure, and academic rigor, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering continues to shape future-ready professionals equipped to lead in the evolving tech landscape.
