Ph.D. Program in Computer Science Engineering

All programs offered by the DoCST follow Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) where a student has the flexibility of choosing courses of his choice and interest. The department offers a large basket of electives that lead to distinctive specialization. Our major differentiators are:

• Our teaching pedagogy focuses on “learning-by-doing” which aims to bridge the gap between industry and academia.
• Incorporation of new technology in the curriculum aims to bridge the gap of skilled manpower requirements. Focused industry ready syllabi with each vertical defined in the curriculum aims to create a platform for specified fields (Cloud Computing, BigData, Neural Networks, Business Analytics, Apps Development, Web Development).
• Computer lab components added to all MRU courses ensure that the student is involved proactively in the learning by doing approach.
• The department has collaborations with many external organizations like Infosys, Microsoft, AWS, Quickheal, Xebia who work in association with the departments to impart education to the students on cutting edge technology.

Yes, DoCST has collaboration with following industries:

• Xebia

• AWS
• Infosys

At MRU, the core faculty comprises distinguished academicians (PhD, GATE, NET qualified) from the best institutions and leading professionals from the corporate world with rich industry and research experience. DoCST uses STEP (Simulated Teaching EnabledProgrammes) methodology which adds dynamism to the teaching methodology implicating the “tools” that further provide the hands on practice for progressive, consolidated learning and implementation, with excellent pedagogic techniques like teaching through demonstration, analogies, case based learning, scenario playing, depicting the concepts through flash movies, role plays etc.

The Department uses Windows, Linux, Cloud based platforms and virtualization techniques for instruction (Labs) and course assignments. We provide numerous computing facilities for our students, faculty, and staff. The department offers extensive computer labs in the different areas of computing. The student-computer ratio in the lab is 1:1 and the faculty-student ratio in the computer lab is 1:15 which aims to facilitate our learning by doing pedagogy.
