About the Department
In today’s world, it is almost impossible to think that one can survive without computers. Computers are important in the research areas of science and technology from storage of data to performing complex calculations. The importance of computers is also undeniable in the world of communication where now the world has indeed become a global village because of this miraculous invention. Computers have also been important in various areas like business transactions, medicine, entertainment, media industries etc. The main emphasis of the program is to understand various business areas and develop Information Technology solution skills of knowledge in current IT Technologies, analyzing the requirements and building information systems. It also provides the students the latest know-how to meet the demands of corporate sector. Learning is a continuous process and does not end with the acquisition of a degree, especially because steady and rapid advances in computing technologies shorten the life of tools and techniques prevalent today. Therefore department do not aim to make the students walking manuals of any language or package.
History and Development of Department of Computer Science
Satavahana Post Graduate College (SPGC) was established in the year 1980 as an affiliated College of Osmania University and it was taken over as constituent college in the year 1990. Later, the college was taken over by Kakatiya University as its constituent college in the year 1993. Later, in the year 2008 University Post Graduate College was established as Satavahana University.The Department of Computer Science was established in the year 2000. The M.Sc.
