Insight into CSE at IIT Jammu: Current Setup and Future Plans

Thank you for referring to Kshitij's answer, I#39;m more than happy to provide further insights into your questions regarding CSE at IIT Jammu and its campus shift. This article will be divided into two main sections:

1. How is CSE at IIT Jammu?

First, itrsquo;s important to note that I am not from the CSE branch, but I can share my analysis based on my interactions with the program. One of the key points to remember is that CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) heavily relies on brain power rather than physical infrastructure. Setting up labs for CSE is a manageable task, and we already have the necessary labs that support our coursework.

Regarding faculty, we have our own dedicated faculty for each department, except for the CSE department. While there are visiting and adjunct faculty, by the second year, students often get support through interactions with faculty from IIT Delhi, our mentor institution. The tight-knit academic community here ensures that students receive the necessary academic backing.

2. The Permanent Campus of IIT Jammu

The 2017 entry batch has already settled in at the permanent campus, and the 2016 entry batch will shift there in August. This shift will ease the transition for the new students joining in this academic year.

Salient Features of the Permanent Campus:

Beautiful Hill Location: The permanent campus is situated in a picturesque location, settled among the hills. Its natural beauty provides a serene and motivating environment for students.

Construction Timeline: The construction of the permanent campus spans over 25 acres and is scheduled to be completed by July 2018. This timeline ensures that the campus will be ready for the start of the academic year.

Accommodation and Dining: The campus features a hostel with a capacity of 600 students and a dining hall that can accommodate 120 students at a time. Additionally, there are well-equipped rooms for recreation and enjoyment.

Academic Area: The academic area is designed to accommodate 15 laboratories, 11 classrooms, faculty cabins, and administrative offices. This setup ensures that students have all the necessary resources for their academic pursuits.
