The Department of Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences comprises of dedicated faculty members who are undoubtedly the assets worthy of mention. The department is known for its discipline and for the importance it gives to the overall development of students in grooming them towards becoming good software professionals, research scientists and data analysts. The department has its own library with the latest books, national and international journals and magazines. The computer centre is well equipped with the most recent hardware and software. The department has vibrant research culture to keep in touch with the ever-growing technologies. The faculty members participate regularly in refresher courses and symposia conducted by top-notch Universities, Research Institutions and Professional Bodies like Association for Computing Machinery, IEEE. The department organizes technical symposia at national and international levels at regular intervals. Apart from stressing consistent and good academic performance, the department encourages participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities to bring out the latent talents in its students. The students are provided with ample opportunities to improve their organizational skills and group dynamics.
M.Sc. Software Engineering programme was started in the year 1997 for the first time in the country and well received by leading software industries across the globe. The programme has been designed to meet the challenging needs of the industry, by ensuring a good understanding of the software design process and to develop resilient applications using state-of-the art technologies. The programme has been renamed as Software Systems since 2014.
M.Sc. Theoretical Computer Science is yet another innovative programme introduced in 2007. Any industry grows only if it has a strong R&D division. In order that Research be fruitful, the R&D Team should have persons with strong theoretical background. “It is the theory that describes what can be observed”, said Albert Einstein. M.Sc Theoretical Computer Science has been designed to augment human resources for the R&D divisions of software industries.
Increasing demand in processing and handling the plethora of data, the Department of AM&CS started an innovative five year integrated M.Sc Data Science programme in the year 2015, the first of its kind in India. The curriculum of the programme is well designed to provide rigorous training on the scalable techniques for big data analysis, machine learning, optimization techniques, and artificial intelligence. This programme will equip the students to provide holistic experience encompassing technical and leadership skills which are vital for successfully creating value through analytics and AI in any domain. The graduates from this programme are in huge demand by the industry with an excellent placement record.
As the drive towards digital transformation continues to ceaselessly gather momentum, they also significantly raise cyber security risks and threat levels. Business is evolving itself at the pace of algorithmic speeds and digital risks are constantly challenging even the most financially robust companies. With the huge skills gap of cyber security workforce globally, there is an urgent need to modernize Cyber security education to include vital skills. The five year integrated M.Sc. Cyber Security programme, the first of its kind in India aims to prepare students with the technical knowledge and skills needed to protect and defend computer systems and networks. The programme has a strong and wide technical base and internship programs which are the most critical aspects to a good cyber security education.
All the above programmes have two semesters (7th and 10th) rigorous internships in reputed industries and top-notch institutions, a unique feature for the success of the programmes.
An excellent academic record in Higher Secondary examination of the (10+2) curriculum prescribed by the appropriate authority of the Government of Tamil Nadu or any other exam recognised as equivalent with Mathematics and Physics as two of the subjects of study.
Shortlisted candidates with an excellent academic record in Higher Secondary examination (based on Math and Physics HSC marks) will be called for an computer based entrance examination at the College Campus on 4th June 2025. The duration of the examination will be ONE hour. There will be Multiple Choice Questions from Mathematics in +2 level. The questions will be in English and Tamil.
Counselling will be held for shortlisted candidates from the entrance examination from 4th June Afternoon onwards, at the college campus.
