About the department

Cummins College of Engineering was established in 1991 under the umbrella of “Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha, Pune”. The department was accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in the years 1998, 2002, 2006, 2012 and 2022.

The department of Computer Engineering started in 1991 with an intake of 60 students. The first undergraduate batch rolled out in the year 1995. The intake capacity was subsequently increased from 60 to 90 in the year 2001 – 2002 and from 90 to 120 from the year 2002 – 2003. The second shift for the computer department started from the academic year 2010 with an intake capacity of 60.

The department started the post graduation program, M. Tech in Computer Engineering in the year 2024-25 with an intake of 12.

The department is known for its excellent results and placements with average package increasing every year. Our Students occupy the best positions in both academia and industry world over. Graduates from the department are heavily recruited by the leading IT companies. Our students are also selected in the top ranked Universities world over for their Post Graduate and Doctorate courses. The department continues to enjoy strong interaction and support from our beloved alumni.

The department has young and enthusiastic faculty members who provide expertise in their areas of interests which are major areas in the field of computer science and engineering. Currently the department has 34 teaching faculty members under the constructive leadership of Dr. Sunita Jahirabadkar.

The institute has adopted progressive autonomy since 2016. The first batch under autonomy passed out in the year 2020. With autonomy, the department has been able to bring in a lot of best practices and useful additions in the best interest of the students. These changes include the provision for full time internships, open electives, new courses following latest global trends and lots of hands on experience. In addition, self expression courses, inputs for interviews, communication skills etc. are also provided to help in the all round development of the students.

The department continuously tries to improve the programme structure with the view of keeping our graduates competitive in the job market. The program structure is revised after considering the suggestions given by the members of the board of studies and the feedback collected from the stakeholders like employers, alumni, parents, industry experts and students.   The faculty members continuously  strive for delivering the courses in the most effective manner by adopting  suitable pedagogy practices.

The department encourages the students to join the student chapters like CSI and ACMW and student clubs like  technical and non–technical student clubs like Kalawant Club, Code Club, Astronomy Club, Mozilla Campus Club, MusicClub, TechBuzz Club, Google Student Club, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision Society(AICVS),  Cummins Debate Club, Loop, TEDx CCOEW and the other clubs in the college.

The student chapters and student clubs organize various expert sessions, panel discussions, workshops and webinars for the students. This keeps the students abreast with the new technologies and tools. They get an opportunity to interact with industry experts. Coding competitions organized under these chapters help the students to improve their management skills, team building skills and communication skills. Students get an experience of managing activities end to end. In this way, the department provides a multitude of avenues for the students in order to prepare them for their future endeavors in industry or academia.

The department provides a platform for faculty and students to have meaningful and significant interactions and inputs from industry experts as well as experts from academia. Over the years, we were fortunate to have inspiring interactions with eminent personalities such as Dr. Vijay Bhatkar, Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar, Dr. Jayant Naralikar, Dr. P. C. Sejwalkar, Dr. D.B. Phatak, Dr. S. B. Mujumdar, Dr. P.K. Sinha, Dr. Uday Khedkar,  Mr. Ravi Pandit, Mr. Anand Deshpande, Dr. V. M. Patnaik and many more. Department has close association with Persistent Systems Ltd., Veritas Technologies, Vodafone, IBM, Citi, and also with IIT Powai.

The department has facilities and infrastructures to support students for experiments, hands-on projects and exploration in various  domains like IOT, data science, embedded systems, networking etc. The final year students can use the dedicated Project facility having high end desktops for their final year project work. The department has a blade server which is used for intranet applications.

The Department laboratories possess more than 400 high end PCS with necessary licensed operating system, software and network printers. All the labs are well equipped with sufficient power backup. All the 10 laboratories have internet facility from the 1Gbps dedicated line.

The college library has a very good collection of academic and general information books and subscriptions for journals on the topics related to the study of Computer Engineering. In addition, the department has a separate departmental library consisting of previous seminar reports, Project Reports and various manuals to make the study material readily available for the students.

The combination of all of these elements makes the Computer Engineering Department the first choice of the freshers.
