B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering

School of Engineering

The B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering is designed for students who aspire to build the digital infrastructure that powers modern enterprises, platforms, and intelligent applications. The programme develops strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, operating systems, databases, computer networks, software engineering, cloud computing, and cybersecurity while emphasizing the design of reliable, scalable, and secure software systems.

Students gain hands-on experience in software development, distributed computing, cloud-native architectures, web technologies, and modern application deployment. Advanced electives allow students to specialize in Software Engineering & Full-Stack Development, Cybersecurity & Secure Systems Engineering, or Cloud Computing & Data Engineering. Through industry-integrated learning and project-based experiences, graduates develop the skills required to design, build, deploy, and manage complex software systems in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Minimum of 65% in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry (individually).
  • At least 60% aggregate in PUC/12th or an equivalent examination from a recognized board.
  • Valid score in JEE, KCET, COMEDK or any other state entrance exam.
Chanakya Edge
  • Strong emphasis on core computer science principles including algorithms, operating systems, databases, computer networks, and software engineering.
  • Specialized pathways in Software Engineering & Full-Stack Development, Cybersecurity & Secure Systems Engineering, and Cloud Computing & Data Engineering.
  • Curriculum includes emerging areas such as Generative AI, Deep Learning, DevOps, MLOps, Cloud Architecture, Distributed Computing, and Data Governance.
  • Limited memory-based assessments, with evaluation focused on coding challenges, software design problems, system implementation, and industry-oriented capstone projects.
  • Hands-on exposure to modern software development practices including API design, backend engineering, database design, cloud deployment, and secure software development.
  • Ability Enhancement Courses (AECs) delivered by industry professionals, providing exposure to current tools, workflows, and engineering practices used by leading technology organizations.
  • Opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary projects involving Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Geoinformatics, Robotics, and Space Technologies.
  • Strong foundation for careers in software engineering, product development, research, entrepreneurship, and higher studies.
