Department of Computer Science and Engineering


The Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the School of Engineering & Technology, Nagaland University, is dedicated to nurturing students through a balanced approach to both theoretical foundations and practical applications of computer science. The Department places strong emphasis on cultivating problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, ensuring that students are well-prepared to meet the demands of the industry and excel in diverse professional environments.

To support and enhance learning, the Department provides access to recorded video lectures by eminent professors from across the country. These lectures are part of the NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) initiative—a collaborative project by the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). NPTEL serves as an invaluable supplementary resources for students and also aids faculty in delivering high-quality education.

In addition, students are encouraged to enroll in SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) courses, which further enrich their academic experience and expose them to a wide array of contemporary topics and skills in the field of computer science.

The Department remains committed to academic excellence and holistic development, empowering students to become competent professionals and innovators in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
