Computing Facilities:
The Department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories. Beside, it has access to University's LAN consisting of assembled latest configuration computers and server. The LAN caters to many computing needs of the department such as compliers of popular programming languages, RDBMS software (Oracle 10g, SQL Server, Bioinformatics softwares, etc.) communication facility, and Internet facility.
The Department also has a network connecting labs, seminar rooms, offices, and has all classrooms with Internet connectivity. The LAN does not only serve the conventional purposes but also has created modern teaching and learning environment. The Department's official communication and correspondence works are done through e-mail.
