The Department of Computer Science and Applications was established in the academic year 2001-02 as a complete and separate self-financing unit under the tutelage of the same Principal and same Governing Body of Malda College. The G.B., Malda College has formed an Individual Committee viz. Monitoring Committee which used to take decision about the development of the department. This department was set-up predominantly to cater the demand of the local people, who want to study the recent technologies within an affordable fee. Primarily there was a single course offered by the department namely Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA). From 2003-04 a new course B. Sc. in Computer Science has been started as a honours course by the department to fulfil the desire of the people.
