Director Message

Dear All, University Institute of Engineering and Technology, CSJM University, Kanpur was established in 1996 with four branches of Engineering. Since its inception we have continuously expanded ourselves and are now able to offer several professional degree courses like B.Tech in 6 branches namely Computer science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology and Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering; Bachelors in Computer Application, Masters in Computer Application, M.Sc. in Electronics and Bioinformatics and M.Phil in Maths, Physics and Chemistry & Advance Post Graduate Diploma in Bioinformatics.

Institute aims at providing quality education and infrastructure at par with leading Universities at global front. We offer a semester based transparent system of performance and evaluation. Our students not only excel in academics but also showcase their talents at technical events and cultural fiesta. On graduation many of our top students are offered jobs by leading companies like Infosystems, Accenture, Reliance and so on.

At UIET we believe in punctuality, sincerity and hardwork. We work for the success of our students and their betterment.

Lets work together to build a brighter tomorrow!

Mission Of Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is the integration of biological sciences, information technology and computer sciences and has become an essential tool ofall biological research activities. At the Department of Bioinformatics, UIET, CSJM University , Kanpur , it is our goal to train young minds to contribute to this now burgeoning field of science. We strive to provide them with excellent teaching and laboratory facilities as well as an environment that grooms them to be leaders in the field.

We have a distinguished core Bioinformatics faculty whose varied research interests include drug designing, molecular structure prediction and visualization, genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, metabolic modeling and system biology. The program is truly interdisciplinary with collaborating faculty from Computer Science, Biological Sciences, Information Technology and Mathematics. The program also benefits immensely from intellectual interactions with premier institutes such as the Indian Institute of Technology and Indian Institute of Pulses Research in its vicinity.

We invite you to explore the program in more detail through this web-site and encourage you to personally visit the campus.Thank you for your interest in our program.
