The Computer Society of India (CSI) was established in the year 1965 with a handful of IT enthusiasts who were a computer user group and felt the need to organize their activities. The organisation has grown to an enviable size of 100,000 strong members consisting of professionals with varied backgrounds including Software developers, Scientists, Academicians, Project Managers, CIO’s , CTO’s & IT vendors to just name a few and has its branches all over the country.
Currently having 488 student branches and rooted firmly at 73 different locations, CSI has plans of opening many more chapters & activity centres in smaller towns and cities of the country. The idea is to spread the knowledge, and provide opportunities to as many interested as possible.
At KGiSL, the CSI Student chapter activities empower the students with information on the latest skills, tools and technologies required from the IT Industry. Besides the activities held at the Chapters the Society also conducts periodic conferences, conventions, lectures, projects, and seminars. The Computer Society of India Students’ chapter is hosted and run by Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
