Newsletters and Magazines

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at VCE publishes OMNITHAR, a technical newsletter issued twice each academic year. OMNITHAR serves as a platform to highlight and document a range of technical activities including workshops, seminars, guest lectures, student projects, faculty accomplishments, research updates, and emerging trends in computer science and engineering. This newsletter encourages knowledge sharing, innovation, and technical awareness among students and faculty alike.

In addition, the department also brings out a magazine titled CodeX Curator, released twice every academic year. CodeX Curator focuses on non‑technical and co‑curricular activities, showcasing students’ creativity, cultural talents, literary contributions, achievements, social initiatives, and memorable departmental events. The magazine offers a lively space for students to express their ideas, experiences, and unique perspectives beyond academics.

Together, OMNITHAR and CodeX Curator reflect the holistic development of students by balancing technical excellence with creative and cultural expression, thereby strengthening the academic, social, and community environment of the CSE department.
