About Us
Welcome to the Department of Computer Science & Information Technology, where innovation meets education. Department of Computer Science & IT was established in the year 1999. Ramnarain Ruia College was among the first 8 colleges to start B.Sc. in Computer Science Programme affiliated to University of Mumbai. Subsequently, we introduced M.Sc. Computer Science and M.Sc. Information Technology in the year 2002 and 2011 respectively.
Our vision is to foster a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for our students. We are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of technology through excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement.
