    About the Department

    History

    The Department was established in the year 2006.

    A. Brief Statement of Academic Activities

    The Department of BSSS is conducting all those core courses of Basic Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences which appear in the 4-year or 8-semester B.Tech Programme in ECE and IT. 

    The teachers of BSSS may also help conduct the courses in the overlapping areas of Basic Sciences and Engineering Sciences, especially in open Elective Papers in Higher Semesters. 

    B. Broad Areas of Research

    Teachers of BSSS are also engaging themselves in research works, besides the routine teaching activity, since the University has this equally important and vital activity too, in its overall Academic Programme.
