Head, Department of Computational Studies
The Department of Computational Studies is committed to nurturing future-ready professionals who can lead innovation and drive transformation in the digital era. Recognising the rapidly evolving nature of the IT industry, the department provides a vibrant ecosystem that fosters technical excellence, creativity, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
At the heart of this ecosystem is the Computational Academy, a dynamic student forum that serves as a platform for the confluence of technology, academics, and innovation. Through guest lectures, workshops, seminars, industrial visits, technical fests, science exhibitions, coding competitions, and various student-led communities, the academy encourages learners to explore emerging technologies, develop professional competencies, and cultivate a spirit of innovation.
The department has established strong academic and industry alliances with leading organisations including UiPath, Salesforce, Oracle Academy, Microsoft, AWS Academy, SAP, Infosys, Red Hat, Qlik, Celonis, MongoDB Academy, Palo Alto Networks Academy, NASSCOM FutureSkills Prime, ACM-W, ICT Academy, Honeywell, VMware IT Academy, Dell EMC, NIIT Foundation, NPTEL Local Chapter, IIT Madras Code Chapter, and IIRS Nodal Centre. These collaborations bridge the gap between academia and industry by providing students with access to cutting-edge technologies, professional certifications, training programmes, industry interactions, and experiential learning opportunities.
To further strengthen practical and technical competencies, the department offers Skill Studio, a dedicated platform for hands-on learning and peer-driven skill development. Through study jams, peer-learning sessions, technical workshops, mentoring initiatives, and doubt-clearing forums, students gain the confidence and expertise required to apply theoretical concepts to real-world challenges.
The department also fosters a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and continuous learning through initiatives such as Knowledge Kindle Groups and vibrant Women Tech Communities. Students are encouraged to pursue self-paced learning through MOOCs, professional certification programmes, domain-specific courses, and NPTEL offerings, enabling them to stay abreast of emerging trends and industry expectations.
