The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at NIT Calicut offers a diverse array of academic programs, including Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees in Computer Science and Engineering, a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program, and a Doctoral degree program. These programs are meticulously designed to provide students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to meet the rapidly evolving demands of the Information Technology industry.

The Department has a rich history of growth and development. The BTech program in Computer Science and Engineering began in 1985 under the Department of Electrical Engineering. In June 1997, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering was officially formed. The MCA program was introduced in 1988, followed by the two-year MTech program in Computer Science and Engineering in 1998. A specialized two-year MTech program in Information Security was added in 2006, and the PhD program commenced in 2002. These programs reflect the Department's commitment to offering a comprehensive education in computing.

The vision of the Department is to be a Centre of Excellence in the discipline of computing. This vision underpins its mission to develop human resources with a robust foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computing, empowering students to apply their knowledge for the greater benefit of society. To keep pace with the fast-changing scenario in Information Technology, the Department actively engages in research and development activities across major areas of Computer Science.

An important aspect of the Department's community is the [[Computer Science and Engineering Association (CSEA)]], which includes students from the 2nd to 4th years. The CSEA plays a vital role in organizing various activities that enhance the academic and social experience of CSE students, fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the Department.
