The Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science was established in 1986 by upgrading the Department of Mathematics founded in 1953. At present its major components are: Mathematics and Computer Science. The  Institute developed its research programs for M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in 1991 and has been enrolling students since then. This is in addition to the Bachelors and Master programs both in Mathematics and Computer Sciences. 

The pre-requisite for the Bachelor Program in Computer Science has been extended to include Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, General Science and Commerce groups of H.S.C. It also conducts Diploma and short courses in Computer Science, developing Computer awareness among academic and administrative staff, students and masses. 

The Institute has been updating and revising course contents to keep its degrees market oriented. 

The curricula listed here have been recently updated; under the revised scheme the 4-yr  Bachelor degree in Computer Science Hons. has been designated as Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) OR. Bachelor of Science Computer Science BS (CS). However, 3- year  B.C.S. (Pass) degree can also be availed.

The Institute offers this BS.(CS) degree program separately for the students with Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical (including General Science) and Commerce background.
