This department is actively involved in modernizing and developing the laboratories with World Bank project, Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme. All laboratories, which are useful for the undergraduate programme are strengthened by procuring necessary equipment to conduct various experiments and projects. In addition, new laboratories in the area of Software Testing, Internet Technologies, Programming Languages, and Data Engineering are developed to cater to the needs of existing programmes. However, these facilities are to be augmented further with new equipment to improve the facilities and to offer new postgraduate programmes. In addition, new faculty members (having the expertise to teach advanced subjects) are to be recruited. Building space is to planned and obtained for the new courses.
