Computer Science is at the forefront of
technological advancements and thus we have an onus to be amongst the torch
bearers. Thus, In the School of Computing and IT, every effort is made to keep
pace with modern pedagogical practices and emerging paradigms like MOOC, Moodle,
webinars; the tools/aids for modern teaching; ever-evolving syllabi keeping
pace with technological advancement and industry trends etc. At SCIT, we strive
to imbibe the virtues of Manipal education system in the newly inducted
faculty. The depth of subject knowledge is major objective of the research work
thus keeping abreast of technology frontiers. The research work in the most
popular areas is being nurtured through internal research grants and sponsored
project funding. To prepare students for immediate work, an exposure is offered
through opportunities in such research work during the final semester for UG
and final year for the PG students.
We also attempt to enrich the laboratory
work through interaction with industry collaborations by way of expert lectures
and lab exercises drawn from projects running in field. The school is one of
the biggest in MUJ with three degree courses and the commensurate numbers of
experienced faculty. Having its first batch just out a year ago, we have long
way to go in terms of establishing SCIT as one of the best schools amongst it’s
peers in India. I wish the students of SCIT would reflect the quality and
dedication of its faculty, latest and relevant syllabi of courses, and state of
the advanced infrastructure like laboratories and their modern content.
