The Department Computing Facility (DCF) is the common computing facility for the entire department, offering computing and Internet services to about 1000 users including students and faculty members. It was started in 1987 as a multi-user system based on a VAX/VMS machine. In the mid ‘90s, the facility was transformed into a PC and Linux-based networked system. Currently the facility has about 35 PCs, majority of them based on the Pentium processors.

Work on a new Undergraduate (UG) lab is underway. The lab, which will be operated as a part of DCF, will offer integrated computing facility for undergraduate students where the students can conduct their labwork and also work on their final year projects. A set of sixteen Pentium-III based PCs have already been acquired for future use in the lab.
