mobile based platforms and applications. These courses aims to produce skilled graduates with a creative
mind-set who can recognize a computational problem either in IT industry or society, and develop effective
solutions.

The General Elective courses offers the students the option to explore disciplines of interest beyond the
choices they make in Core and Discipline Specific Elective papers. The course on Creative Content Writing
prepare students to comprehend, refine, and enhance their writing abilities and enter the industry with
enhanced skill and substantial competence. The course on Green Technologies emphasizes the use of
principles and practices of green services and regulatory standards for addressing the carbon issues and
related concerns. The Research Methodology instills basic research skills for students who wish to pursue
a research or an academic career. Management & Entrepreneurship course aims to focus on giving students
the business management and innovation skills required to succeed in a startup.

We sincerely believe that any student taking this programme will get very strong foundation and exposure
to basics, advanced and emerging trends of the subject.

We wholeheartedly thank all experts who shared their valuable feedbacks and suggestions in order to
improvise the contents, we have sincerely attempted to incorporate each of them. We further thank
Chairperson and members of Board of Studies for their confidence in us.

Special thanks to University Department of Computer Science and colleagues from various colleges, who
