The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) was formed in 1999. The Department started its journey with an intake of 60 for UG program B.Tech in CSE approved by AICTE. The intake was enhanced to 90 in 2010 and further converted to 120 in 2017.The post graduate program M.Tech in CSE was introduced in 2012. The B.Tech-CSE program is one of the most sought after programs of the Institute, one of the reasons being consistently high rate of placement of CSE students through campus interview. Besides large number of students being placed in TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys and Capgemini, CSE alumni of RCCIIT are working in Google, Microsoft, Amazon and IBM.
B. Tech. (CSE) started with 60 seats in 1999.Intake increased from 60 to 90 in 2010 and subsequently to 120 in 2017, to fulfill the requirement of quality engineers as perceived by the market trends (Lateral entry is 10% of 1st year intake in UG 2nd year)
2-year full time post-graduate M.Tech program started from 2012 with 18 seats under MaulanaAbulKalam Azad University of Technology (Formerly known as WBUT) approved by AICTE.
Educate engineering graduates to work professionally in the computing domain.

Communication
Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
Project Management and Finance
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one's own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-long Learning
Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
Environment and Sustainability
Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of need for sustainable development.
RCC Institute of Information Technology (RCCIIT) was set up in 1999 by the erstwhile Regional Computer Centre (RCC), Calcutta (in JU) as a unique joint venture of NIC, Ministry of Communication & IT, Govt. of India and Dept. of Higher Education, Govt. of West Bengal. In 2003 the lead role of management of RCCIIT was transferred to the State Govt. from Govt. of India.
