The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was established in 2008 with B.Tech in CSE and a PhD Program. As of 2025, the CSE Department has student strength of 850+ offering programs in CSE: BTech CSE, MTech CSE, and Artificial Intelligence: BTech AI & DS, MTech AI and PhD programs. Our undergraduates choose industries such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc., for internships and placement, so becoming the top choice for aspiring undergraduates is a preferred destination to study. We are now implementing a faculty search to contact and persuade bright candidates from IITs to apply for faculty positions in rolling advertisements.

Our department features well-equipped teaching and research laboratories, providing substantial support, fellowships (such as PMRF, TCS Scholarship, Visvesvaraya fellowship) and sponsorship for doctoral candidates. Most of the faculty members have sponsored research and development projects to enhance our academic activities.

The department is focusing on cutting-edge research in areas of Computer Science such as Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), natural language processing, machine learning, deep learning, blockchain technology, Internet of Things, Cloud, Edge, and Fog computing, Mobile Computing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Networking, social networks, computer vision, and quantum computing.

Under the guidance of Prof. T.N. Singh, Director Sir, the CSE faculty members Dr. Rishav Singh, Prof. Rajiv Misra and Dr. Chandranath Adak received approval worth 350 Lakhs for the establishment of an advanced Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the CSE department as part of the FIST DST project.

In a collaboration with PHN Technology, Pune, the PHN – IIT Patna Centre Of Excellence in AI-IOT-Robotics Lab was established by the team of Prof. T. N. Singh, Prof. Rajiv Misra and Dr. Rahul Misra.

To save lives of Bihar farmers, the team lead of Prof. T.N. Singh, Prof. Rajiv Misra and Dr. Arijit Roy have developed and Internet of Things (IoT) Early Disaster Warning Device ‘NITISH Pendant’ for early alarming severe meteorological occurrences like lightening.

Our research labs are backed with AI-GPU clusters and include labs such as AI+ML+NLP Lab, Blockchain Lab, IoT Lab, Network Security Lab, Advanced Computing Lab, and Metaverse Lab.

Our department is sponsored by agencies such as DST, SERB, MeiTy, MHA, and the Bihar Government, as well as industries like Microsoft, Samsung, LG-Soft, Wipro, Flipkart, CRISIL, Sony, Accenture, Simnovus, and CDAC. Faculty members and students have received numerous accolades and published in top-tier conferences and journals.

Our Research Scholars are also actively involved in founding startups, e.g., “Virtual Doctor” by Dr. Abhisek Tiwari (PhD Graduate).

Our undergraduate students are coordinating in various technical clubs for coding, etc., such as Google Developer Student Clubs IIT Patna, powered by Google Developers, NJACK (Not Just Another Computer Science (K)Club), to inculcate coding and programming skills for computer science enthusiasts through productive sessions and fun events. Furthermore, the department has “Microsoft Center of Excellence on Artificial Intelligence”. The department held a hackathon on generative AI in collaboration with Microsoft Azure.
