On average, every semester has 4-5 theory courses and 3 practical/laboratory courses

The syllabus includes Programming, Data Structures, Algorithms, Operating Systems, DBMS, Networks, AI, ML, Cloud Computing, IoT, Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and project work. For more details, refer curriculum section

CSE is a concept-based and logical field of study. It is quite interesting, and with practice and proper guidance, students can perform well.

10+2 with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Computer Science as core subjects, Minimum qualifying percentage in board exams (typically 60-75%). Valid scores in national/state-level entrance exams like JEE Main (or equivalent).

Generally 60% to 75%, depending on university norms.

Mathematics is typically mandatory. PCB students may be eligible only if they studied Mathematics as an additional subject.

No, the JEE is not compulsory, but it is widely accepted. The university may also admit students through its own entrance exam (GECET) or on the basis of merit.

Entrance exams such as JEE Main, CUET, or university-level entrance exams (GECET). However, admissions are offered on the basis of Class 12 marks.

B. Tech CSE graduates from the university are recruited by renowned multinational companies. Many students secure a highly lucrative package of up to ₹60 LPA, while the average salary ranges between ₹7–10 LPA. For detailed information, please visit the Placements section of the website.

Due to 25+ years of excellence, expert faculty, strong industry collaborations, advanced labs, research culture, and excellent placements with top companies.

The program is of 2 years (4 semesters) duration, in accordance with UGC/AICTE norms.

Candidates must have completed B.Tech/BE (CSE/IT/EC/EE), MCA, or M.Sc. (Computer Science) from an AICTE/UGC-approved institution. Admission is based on merit and a personal interview conducted by the University.
