The objective of the Programme is to train in research methodology, and to inculcate the spirit of innovation and research among the qualified faculty, scientists, engineers etc. required for the expansion of fundamental knowledge and technological innovation through research and development, as well as to meet the requirement of institutions of higher learning.

Software industry provides a vast practical laboratory for experimenting to discover, implement and test new approaches, tools and techniques for designing software solutions to problems. Also, a number of government and semi-government institutions/bodies like, MICT, CSIR, DST, DRDO etc., are involved in research in different areas of applications of computer technology.
