Computer Science Engineering Course

In this article, we will have an in-depth analysis of B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering program. It is a popular branch among students and offers decent job opportunities after graduation. 

Students who are interested in programming, software development, computer science and have good analytical and reasoning skills may pursue this course. B.C.A. (Bachelor of Computer Applications) is a slightly similar course. But B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering is bit more detailed and is a much more valuable Degree!

B.E./B.TECH. COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING:

BASIC COURSE DETAILS

It is a 4 years long Undergraduate Level Degree program. The 4 years’ duration is divided into 8 semesters, with each semester lasting a period of 6 months. During each semester, students will have to face different sets of theoretical subjects as well as practical lab sessions associated with them.

B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering is all about Computer Sciences, programming languages, software development and testing, networking etc. It also focuses on using the above mentioned skills and knowledge for practical and Industry specific usage.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

10+2 Science stream students with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects, who have passed board examination from a recognized board are eligible to pursue this course. Students must also have appeared for state level entrance examination to be considered eligible to take part in the admission process.

SCOPE, SALARY AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Job opportunities are available for Graduates in Government as well as Private sector. Graduates may take up the following job posts-
