To be a Center of Excellence in education and research in the field of Computer Applications to produce high quality competitive software professionals for the national growth.
To produce socially committed technocrats to meet the Industrial challenges or an administrator in the field of Information Technology with adequate technical knowledge and skills through quality education and research.
The Department of Computer Applications was established in the year 1997, offering Bachelor of Computer Applications and Master of Computer Applications (MCA) programme. The programme was initially affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University and later to Anna University. The BCA programme is a three year full time programme covering various aspects of computing, accounting, programming, design & managing networks and database that an individual may pursue before foraying into the world of Information Technology (IT). The educational objective of the MCA program is to enable the students to have a holistic and all round grooming, to be a thorough professional in the field of IT. The students are trained to have a sound foundation in the fundamentals of computer technology, a high level of practical skill in the use of that technology and at the same time, be sensitive to the issues prevailing in the society. The Alumni of the department were all well placed in good positions of the major IT companies in India and abroad.

This moulded them to develop 10 innovative products in 5 years. They have also got 23 patents and 55 publications under their name. The students have done wonders in the field of extracurricular activities apart from academics. The students took part in many National and International Events” and bagged lots of medals. The students of B.tech- Mechanical Engineering are offered a One Credit Course from the Industry and International Professors. The department invites resource persons from industries and abroad to handle one credit course in order to raise awareness and bring industrial skills to our students (15hours).
Most of the students from the B.Tech Mechanical programme doing their final year Project/ internships at industries/ International universities for a semester.
I am really proud to be a student of Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education. Our college course is relevant and makes the students industry-ready. Labs and classrooms are fully equipped with projectors and other essential facilities. The department library has a great collection of useful course books. Apart from that, there is a central library and IRC (research centre). Our college also has a playground, indoor games facilities, health centre, auditorium and swimming pool. The hostel is well designed according to the student’s needs. It has all kinds of mess facilities. Faculty members are highly qualified as well as very knowledgeable. They are very understanding and good. They are very helpful for every student. They always encouraged us in difficult situations through this year. I am proud to be a student of KARE from the department of Computer Science & Information Technology.
