Computer Centre
The Computer Centre of Cotton University was setup in the year 2017 after the historic merger and upgradation of Cotton College and Cotton College State University. The Centre is located in the second floor of the S.K. Bhuyan Library. The centre has two computer labs consisting of sixty computers with licensed operating systems as well as open source ones. The centre also houses the servers and the core network switches which provide the campus wide internet service as well other computational facilities. The setup acts as the nerve centre for the campus wide network which connects around 2000 nodes.
