THE UNIVERSITY The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, formerly known as the Baroda College, was founded by Late His Highness Shrimant Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda in the Year 1881. The efforts of establishing a University at Baroda were also initiated by him in 1908. Although Shrimant Sayajirao Gaekwad conceived a residential university at Baroda, it became a reality only during the rule of Late His Highness Shrimant Pratapsinhrao Gaekwads. The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda came into existence on 29th April 1949. FACULTY OF SCIENCE With the formation of the university, The Silver Jubilee Science Institute, a part of the Baroda College, was reconstituted as the Faculty of Science. Foundation stone of the Silver Jubilee Science Institute was laid by Sir Issac Rufus, then Viceroy and Governor General of India, in the year 1926 and the construction was completed in 1933. Since 1949, the Faculty offers courses leading to B. Sc., M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in Botany, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Zoology. The Faculty added thereafter two more Departments: Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology, both of which provide postgraduate programmes to students. From year 2000, faculty started offering self financed programmes at both UG and PG level. The Faculty has made significant strides in various disciplines of science that attracts students from all over India and other countries and it is a cosmopolitan centre of education. DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS Department of Computer Applications addresses the grave need of quality education in computer applications at undergraduate & postgraduate level in the country in general and Gujarat in particular. Faculty of Science introduced 3 year undergraduate Programme leading to Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) degree in year 2000 on a self-financed basis. Since its inception, the programme has earned a very good reputation in the state of Gujarat and is regarded as the most advanced BCA programme in this part of the country. From year 2010 the BCA programme has been restructured according to Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). In year 2011 Faculty of Science introduced M. Sc. in Software Technologies programme, that is specially designed for the graduates in computer/IT discipline in CBCS pattern. This programme has also been received very well by the student's community and local software industry. In order to provide the platform to strengthen the existing academic programs and to initiate and promote research activities in the field of Computer Applications, University established Department of Computer Applications through a senate resolution in 2013. A new professional course M.Sc. (IT) is being introduced from academic session 2017 onwards to provide a concrete foundation to the students when they put their feet into the global IT world and meet the future technological challenges.
