History
Its foundation stone was laid by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, on 14 April 1949 and it was formally inaugurated by him on 4 April 1956. J. K. Charitable Trust contributed to the construction of the complete building structure of the institute, hence the department's name.J. K. stands for "Juggilal Kamlapat", so the full name is "Juggilal Kamlapat Institute of Applied Physics and Technology".
The department has a long history of collaboration with some of the country's top research institutes such as DRDO. The undergraduate course in Computer Science was started in the year 1982 and the postgraduate course in Computer Science was started in the year 1986. The Defense Research and Development Organization selected the institute as a center of Manpower development in the area of Computer Science through which the students were inducted as Scientist B in their organizations up to 1992. After 1992, M.Sc. The Computer Science program has been taken over as a UGC program.
