About the University

he foundation of the university was laid by our former Prime Minister and Iron Lady Indira Gandhi who came with the idea in 1966 and JNU was constituted under the JNU act in 1969. In T1969, the simulacrum of a dream university came in full-fledged action.

JNU is being cradled in the lap of Aravali range stretching its wings in more than 10000 acres of geographical areas. It is situated 17 km away from the heart of Delhi. A university with a mission, an unceasing quest, dedication has always been spreading its wings and has been acting as a milestone from the very outset. It has been honored by the UGC as the university with potential for excellence.

JNU is among the top five universities which have been recognized as 'Model University' & UGC conferred the status of “University with Potential for Excellence' in Sep. 2001

JNU is not only one of the most prestigious universities in India but also in Asia. International league tables produced in 2006 by The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES)

rdconfirmed JNU's place among the world's top 200 universities and ranked 183 in the THES league table for 2006.

Almost every school is organized in a way to meet the basic instinct of academic, social and cultural plank of students' life. Besides the central library every center provides the quotidian library facility to save time and space, an auditorium to have cultural social show-off, conference hall to have brain storming session to take place. Research lab is reached out to every interested research scholar according to their area of interest under the aegis of grand standing renowned faculties of school.

University is a true glue promoter of cultural activities, which has a strong unit of theatrical group IPTA, which takes the pain and galvanizes the renaissance against the shadows disseminated in our society. University runs a student council with elected members, a microcosm of upper house of democracy which reins in university's authority for untoward activities in the nature of students' welfare. The basic academic unit of university consists of multi-disciplinary schools enveloping entire gamut of academic activities. It has been organized according to subject matter and methodology to give community of scholar to nurture and fertilize their talent.

NU is one of the high profile universities which initiated the academic program in the realm of computer science in late 1970's. To meet the demands of growing curiosity and to fulfill the need Jof competent software professionals at home and abroad, our institution has been acting as a

beacon under its resolute load-star ever since its birth.

Students from the institution have always relished the challenging work whatever its nature may be, through good moral fiber. Moral fiber of the students is molded by eminent professors of our university, through intra-facilities and through seminars conducted regularly to update the day to day development of the kaleidoscopic nature of information technology. The experienced faculties here always provide the channel to get charge out of challenging work and also provide the chapter and verse of the protean character of the technology through special intermittent lectures and by dove-tailing with students. This interactive and cooperative aura and the method of education are flower of techniques which have given an umpteen number of talented chartered software professionals, who bring the laurel to our institution.

With so many institutions providing the same education in computer science, SC & SS advances over others in alumni's thrall, who pay regular visit through seminars to inculcate and nurture the students in order to the institution having to look its laurels from the very outset of program in computer science and to have gumption of the latest technology. SC & SS has reigned supreme, constantly giving that je ne sais quoi which distinguishes its professionals from other institutions.

Course curriculum of SC&SS is framed keeping the whole basic instinct of Computer Science, which fuels and gears up the students' talent in entire field, even in Research and Development area. As

history says itself, the alumni working in domestic and multi national companies have got felicitations and reward for their outstanding performance and have outwitted and pre-empted professionals from other institutions on several occasions. The course structure is updated regularly to fit with the present demand of the technology.

The SC&SS, from the day of its existence, designs and offers courses for the benefit of its large family to promote interdisciplinary studies in the university also.

NU follows a semester system. Each course is for the duration of one semester and is assigned

a specific number of credits. MCA is a six semester programme where a student has to secure J108 credits in all out of which 100 credits is for the course work and 8 credits for the sixth

semester project work. The course work is carried out in the first five semesters where each student is

required to study five courses (Compulsory & Elective) in each semester. Each course of MCA carries

4 credit points. On the other hand, M.Tech is a four semester programme where a student has to

secures 50 credits in all out of which atleast 30 credits shall be for course work, 5 credits for seminar

and 15 credits for the dissertation work. Each course of M.Tech carries 3 credit points.

The University follows a 10 point letter grading scale for evaluation of students academic

performance in the course during the semester. The grades in each course of the semester are used

to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA). The Cumulative Grade Point Average

(CGPA) is calculated for the student upto and including the semester for which it is required using the

SGPA. On completing the programme the student is assigned a Final Grade Point Average (FGPA)

denoting the final index of a student in the courses.

The objective of this system is to provide a measure of the student performance in each course. The

performance of the student is evaluated continuously throughout the semester. Besides the end

semester examination, the assessment is made in terms of his/her day-to-day performance in the

classroom, home assignment, minor

tests, presentation, term papers &

projects

very institution is, that is to say, silhouette of the outstanding performance of its students and its Alumni. SC & SS today is grinning by unfolding the long annals of its Alumni performance. Our EAlumni have been working with grit on all cylinders to date, with their never tiring get-up and go on

every front. They have always been in command, even in hard weather of economy by their smarts and hard work, and have been coming up roses.

Their dexterous maneuver has put a new complexion to institution. They have been never a bit away to rack their brains and/or to say our Alumni have always relished the challenging work, to mention, under reduced circumstances by making silk purse out of sow's ear. JNU SC & SS has a goliath alumni association under the consanguinity of its Apron strings.

Its Alumni association is constellation of dashing professionals, academicians and entrepreneur from among three streams, to state, MCA, M.Tech, and PhD with sum total, in the neighborhood of 800 of eager beaver with rattling good countenance.

There comes one-off in a year, a great fete, Alumni Meet, EUDEMONIA. Its' a great occasion to commune with our brethren, the common denominator of industry, academicians, entrepreneurs or where ever they have spread their feathers, in the form of social-cultural conglomeration.

Technophilia- 2008

“With a good start, with a better growth, we will come out with the best.”

n today's fast paced world, science and technology hold the key to the future. Science and technology not only change our lives but rather they revolutionize it from the way we think to the way we live. Moreover, it is equally Iwell known that today's students are tomorrow's professionals and there is an indispensable need to foster their

ingenuity and imagination. Bringing together these two extremely potent forces is Technophilia - School of Computer & Systems Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University's technology festival.

Technophilia 2008 is the second edition of the Technophilia. This fertile land of technology was cultivated by 32 teams from 23 reputed technical institutes and colleges like II T Roorkee, IIT Delhi, IIC, NSIT, Delhi University, Jamia Hamdard, Jamia Milia Islamia.

Technophilia 2008 provided students a platform to come together and explore the realms of computer science and technology. Technophilia gave these students a golden opportunity to not only learn but also showcase their talents.

We brought to students competitions that test their skills, extract their talent, promote their imagination, and not to forget the fun and festive spirit of a college festival!!!.

The Events included some Programming Contests in C/C++ Language on Linux platform, Technical Quiz, Program Debugging Challenge, Website Designing, Algorithm Design, Puzzle Contest and some exciting non technical events including LAN gaming.

The Second edition, Technophilia 2008 brought a spectacular celebration of technology and was special in more ways than one can imagine. Hope students had a great

thexperience from January 19th 20 , 2008 at School of Computer and Systems Sciences of Jawaharlal Nehru University.

t's a great occasion to take cue, beyond price, from the progenitors of respective field of research, work etc. School organizes seminars at least once in a week, in order to have understanding of on Igoing research and new technology added to Computer Science, also new working methodology

adopted by industry.

School distills the thought, idea and information from go-getter of contemporary world i.e. we invite scholars and researchers from the entire gamut of computer science. We ferret out information and trade our idea & feeling with the man in show by batteries of questions. It's a process to season academic chores with toothsome research and information.

Stirring seminar does act as to fashion the way of thinking and working of students of SC&SS, JNU. It's a step to quench the thirst of happenings and to season academic session with latest development and research in national & international arena of Computer Science. We lay the red-carpet to scholars from different universities, national and international, industries in order to have heartening effect on the fetish to have a world-beater. It's conducted in order to have its talent equipollent with contemporary highly known institution meeting exacting & copasetic standard of software field. We would like to enlist some lectures by scholars & industrial person, on different topic.
