final batch of students graduating in 2016, according to the college’s acting principal, PV Khatri.

“In light of the excellent results of students who pursued Btech Computer Science, we have decided to offer a BSC in Computer Science. We are also offering Mathematics (Hons). Both these courses are employment-oriented and will give students from the surrounding rural areas an opportunity to pursue such professional courses,” Khatri said.

“Given the possible high demand for this course and the kind of placement and job opportunities it offers, we think that this will serve as a great opportunity for students from surrounding areas who often do not make it to colleges on the main campuses in north Delhi with very high cut-offs,” Khatri added.

“We have five computer labs with 125 computers. Students who wish to issue a laptop for individual use can do so by signing an undertaking,” said DV Bhardwaj, the officiating administrative officer.

The college offers 46 seats each for the two new courses being introduced this academic year, said Meera Sharma, head of the Computer Science department.
