  Computer Science department has formed an association of the students called Computer Science Association (CSA). It provides the platform where students can showcase their hidden talents. Under CSA, we conduct guest lecturers for students on various topics to build their academics strong and make them aware of current IT trends. We also conduct inter-college and intra-college competitions involving co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. All these activities are managed by the students and are for the students. These activities help students to explore strengths and talents outside of academics, develop stronger time-management and organizational skills, build confidence and self-esteem. In all they help students to build skills that are not necessarily taught in the classroom, but are still important for the future. Every year we get huge response from students for all these activities.
