Engineering is one those fields to which no geographical boundaries apply. Computer Science and IT Professionals from India easily secure jobs in MNCs across the world based on their skills and expertise. From software and app development to artificial intelligence, Computer Science is a field that has transformed our lives to an extent that we underestimate the smart technology that assists us in the day to day tasks. The field is evergreen and many more developments are still to come.

B.Tech Computer Science trains students in the basics with subjects like information and coding theory, algorithms and data structures, programming language theory, formal methods, applied computer science etc. After completing B.Tech, students can opt for a job in the field or go into the field of research.

Eligibility and Entry Pathways

There are two ways by which students can get admission in B.Tech Computer Science Engineering (CSE).

  • After 12th:

    Students who have passed 10+2 with Physics and Maths are eligible to apply for B.Tech CSE. Admission is further subjected to qualifying of entrance tests of different universities like LPUNEST

  • After Diploma (Lateral Entry):

    Students who have passed Diploma (Engineering) in any stream with at least 60% marks are eligible to apply for B.Tech CSE. Admission is further subjected to qualifying of entrance tests of different universities like LPUNEST

Courses in Computer Science Engineering

Those who want to make a career in Computer Science Engineering have several options that lead to different career profiles like Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Research and Teaching.

Students can opt for B.Tech (CSE), M.Tech (CSE) or integrated courses to make a career in Computer Science Engineering

Scope of B.Tech Computer Science Engineering (CSE)

  • Computer Science is a very broad field that just teaches you the basics. B.Tech CSE teaches the basics of a range of further fields of CSE like Networking, Operating Systems, Database Management, Programming etc.
  • A B.Tech CSE graduate can opt for a job as a Software Engineer, Software Developer, System Engineer, Network Administrators, Database Administrator, Software Tester, Web and Mobility Engineer in various IT firms and MNCs.
  • Depending on the profile chosen, the salary of a B.Tech graduate is around 3.5 lacs per annum.
  • Students can also appear for GATE whose scorecard is considered by Government Organizations for recruitment.

Scope of B.Tech +  M.Tech Computer Science Engineering (CSE)

  • Integrated B.Tech M.Tech is a 5-year course that saves one year considering course duration of both B.Tech and M.Tech which are 4 years and 2 years respectively.
  • M.Tech graduates can opt for a job in MNCs. M.Tech will give an edge to B.Tech candidates.
  • M.Tech intensifies the study of Computer Science Engineering and lets you dig deeper CSE. M.Tech also opens door to research in the field of CSE.
