History of computing discipline at VIT University dates back to 1993 when the Department of Computer Science & Engineering was established to meet the demand for well-qualified computer professionals. Subsequently, the Departments of Computer Applications and Information Technology were established.

The School of Computing Sciences was conceived during the year 2004-05 and came into existence by consolidating achievements and core strengths of the aforesaid departments. The prime motto was to unify the faculty, laboratory, computing and other resources from erstwhile three independent departments and also to follow the School-based higher technical education system prevailing internationally. Since its inception, it continues to be the biggest school of VIT University with the current strength of more than 4500 students and 165 core faculty members apart from many visiting professors, distinguished professionals from industry, eminent researchers and teaching/research assistants.
