The department of Computer Science and Engineering has been flourishing by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2001 and has seen unprecedented growth. It currently offers four undergraduate programs viz., B.Tech CSE, B.Tech CSE (AI&ML), B.Tech CSE (Data Science) and B.Tech CSE (Cyber Security) and a postgraduate program  M.Tech  Artificial Intelligence. The department is a JNTUH  recognised Research Centre. B.Tech CSE program has been accredited four times by NBA from 2007 onwards. The fourth accreditation is under Tier-1 from July 2019 for a period of three years.

CSE Department has well-equipped computing facilities including Apple Systems, NVIDIA GPUs, IBM Servers, Raspberry pi, Intel multi core systems. It has 29 Lab units of 30 Systems each, with the latest open source software tools needed for B.Tech and M.Tech Curriculum. Oracle 10g, Eclipse, Open XML, Star UML, My SQL, Anaconda, Weka, Android Studio, Visual Studio Code, Angular and React Libraries, Node JS, to name a few.

CSE Department is thriving in emerging areas of computer science and is capable of catering to the new industry-agnostic technologies and skill sets that must be essentially attributed to the continuous learning and upskilling nature of the faculty members. The research experience of the Professors in classical theory as well in modern areas of computing,  out-of-box thinking of  Associate Professors, and quick adaptation of new technologies by Asst Professors enable the department to pioneer in all the areas of computer science. The faculty members gained expertise and are aggressively carrying out research in the happening areas such as Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Image Processing, Machine Learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence,  and Parallel Programming. Doctorates of the department have produced 15 Ph. Ds and currently guiding another 25 Ph.D. Scholars.  

The work culture, professional satisfaction, and learning curve offered by the department resulted in high Faculty retention. To be specific, two faculty members are associated with the department from its inception,  six more faculty have completed 15 years of service and several are serving the department for more than 10 years.

The department has constituted the Board of Studies in 2012 after attaining autonomy and succeeded in gaining acceptance on course structures and curriculum from all the stakeholders of the college. To make the academic instruction more contemporary the BoS conducts a series of meetings and finalizes the curriculum that suits the industry requirements. The insights and advice of Dr. K.V.Chalapathi Rao, Professor Emeritus, and other reputed university professors, Industry experts always give an edge to the department in retaining the leadership among the private engineering college counterparts.

The dept has recently signed MoUs with Middlesex University, UK, for collaborative research in the areas of Image Processing and Computer Vision and with Fragma Data Systems, Bengaluru for  Knowledge Transfer and Research in Big Data Analytics. The department has also executed MoU with Adepto Geo-Informatics, Virtusa consulting services private limited, and SAP India Private Limited, to have continuous interaction with Industry and academia. The faculty of the department are actively mentoring NewGen EDC projects and guiding B.Tech and M.Tech projects in the emerging areas of Computer Science: AI & ML, Data Science, Cyber Security.

Students of CSE are prodigious and show enthusiasm for participating in Tech fests, Hackathons, coding competitions, and sports events. Four such Smart India Hackathon participating teams brought laurels to the department by winning admirable prize money worth Rs 1,50,000. Several students of CSE have bagged top scores in competitive exams like GRE, GATE, CAT, etc., and joined postgraduate programs in prestigious Institutes  such as IITs, IIMs, and  IIITs and internal repute universities abroad. Some of them have emerged as young entrepreneurs and expanded their operations overseas too. Students of the CSE branch get placed in MNCs like Amazon, Oracle, Adobe, IBM, TCS, Walmart, Deloitte, etc., every year with CTCs that are on par with NITs and IITs.

The department gained wider recognition from JNTUH for the academic success of Mr. Harsh H. Shah who bagged 3 Gold Medals for his outstanding academic performance among all the students from affiliated colleges during 2008-09.
