Department of Computer Science

The initial staff strength was six (three academic and three non – academic staff) with the pioneer students’ population of forty-eight. The department had a very small office block of three rooms (one for each academic staff), a reception room for the messenger/cleaner and two laboratories each with the capacity to accommodate twenty computers and accessories.
