About Goa University

Goa University was established in the year 1985 around the nucleus of the Post Graduate Centre and 17 Colleges affiliated to the Bombay University. Over the past decade, the University has grown steadily in size, and the scope of its academic programmes.

Department of Computer Science and Technology (DCST)

Anticipating the importance of Information Technology in present times, Goa University established the Department of Computer Science and Technology in the year 1987, with the financial assistance from DOE/UGC under the Manpower Development Scheme. A full time, 3- year degree programme leading to the “Master of Computer Applications” (MCA) degree was started in the academic year 1987-88. Goa University thus became one of the select universities of our country imparting training and education in the field of Computer Science and Application at the post graduate level.
From the academic year 2013-14, the Department enters a new phase and has decided to double student intake in its flagship MCA program and will also offer two new research programs M.Phil (Computer Science) and M.Tech (Computer Science).
