Future of computer studies in India vis-à-vis Pune University

Information Technology is going places in today’s fast paced and tech-savvy world. So much so that it has become all-pervasive in every aspect of life. Over the years, India has established itself as a country producing brilliant manpower and particularly in the field of computer studies and information technology, our computer experts have gone places. In this context, following is a brief outline of computer studies at one of the most popular universities in India – the University of Pune.

Pune University is one of the main universities in India that offer quality education in computer studied. The Computer Science Department of the university (acronym PUCSD) is a dynamic hub wherein postgraduate courses in Computer Science are imparted in addition to research, development and consultancy programs.
Way back in 1980, when computer science was just beginning to make its mark on Indian shores, Pune University came up with short-term courses. And it is indeed quite surprising that MCA course was introduced at the same university in 1983.

Getting to the university campus is not much of a problem. It is well connected by railways, roadways and airways to different parts of India. The university is thronged by students and researches from Indian as well as foreign shores.

The Indian government has been working towards giving a boost to software industry in India. There are about 23 software technology parks scattered all over the country among which the first was set up in 1991. Surely the future of IT industry is bright.
