School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCOPE)
The mission of the School is to strive persistently for achieving excellence in computing disciplines. It is being pursued through its spectrum of academic programmes in computing of contemporary standards. The main aim is to produce computing graduates with potential, to design
and develop systems involving the integration of software and hardware
devices, employ innovative approaches in programming, problem
solving, create Large Scale Software Systems and build data/computing
infrastructure for an organization.
History of computing discipline at VIT dates back to 1993, when the Department of Computer Science & Engineering was established to meet the demand for well-qualified computer professionals. The School of Computer Science and Engineering (SCOPE) was conceived in the year 2009.
At present, the School headed by Dr.Ramesh Babu K, has more than 16173 students and 276 core faculty members apart from many visiting professors, distinguished professionals from industry, eminent researchers and teaching/ research assistants. With an aim to carve a niche for itself in Computer Science and allied domains, the School strives to:
- Become a pioneering world-class centre of excellence in education and research through collaborative, consultative and participatory approaches
- Nurture effective capabilities for the development of high quality technical and scientific manpower to meet the challenges of the knowledge era
- Provide cost-effective Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based solutions and value-added services to a variety of organisations and to meet the expectations of stakeholders
The school has one of the best infrastructure including domain-specific labs associated with the technical departments mentioned below - many of these labs are sponsored by industry leaders e.g. IBM, Cisco, Sun Microsystems, Red Hat and Microsoft. The School has a good record of organising seminars, workshops, symposia and conferences in emerging technological areas. With an objective of developing core competence in the respective subject matter specialisations and special interest groups for learning newer technologies, the School has formed the following technical departments:
- Department of Analytics
- Department of Computational Intelligence
- Department of Database Systems
- Department of Software Systems
- Department of Information Security
- Department of IoT

TECHEX - WORKSHOP
The Computer Society of India: VIT Student Branch, organized a workshop on the 31st of July, 2019 from 11 am to 1pm in the Shakespeare gallery, Technology Tower. The workshop was titled: ‘Introduction to Everything Related To Technology’ and aimed at providing a stepping stone to young students to explore the various niches of tech and how to get started with them. With over 240 participants actively involved in the workshop, it was a well received and extremely effective first step into the world of Tech. The Faculty coordinators for the workshop were Prof. K. Govinda and Prof. K. S. Sendhil Kumar from the SCOPE school. The student coordinators for the workshop were Aban Zafar Ali and Aradhita Bhandari, who are second year core committee members of The Computer Society of India: VIT Student Branch.
The workshop opened with our guest speaker Vineeth S, from Agora.io, who introduced the participants to the Agora platform and how to get started with the same. This was followed by talks led by our own core committee members: David Vehlo took a workshop on Web development and its various subdomains while Kuhoo Sharma took over to speak on App development and its importance in the world of today. Gauri Shankar demonstrated an application by opening the Riddler website, one of CSI’s signature online events, while Saurav M Hiremat delivered a workshop on Machine Learning. This was followed by a talk on Cybersecurity by Rohan Mukherjee and Rishit Bansal.
The workshop then moved onto the design section with core committee members Ruchica Sinha and Sanjana Rai, where they explained and demonstrated the importance of good design, followed by an introduction to UI/UX by Fardeen Khan. Rishabh Mandhana then took over to talk about video editing and its demand in the industry.
