About the Programme

The School of Computer Science and Engineering offers a B. Tech program in Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Cyber Security Aiming to shape students into well-prepared cyber security professionals, this Computer Science – Cyber Security programme has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate theoretical and practical elements, analytical and architectural methods, as well as academic research and industry best practices. Professionals have meticulously crafted a curriculum that addresses every facet and demand of a cyber-security engineer. Students will gain a solid grounding in analytical methodologies and industry practices, as well as a solid theoretical foundation in cyber security through this programme. They will also gain insights into the practical, technological aspects of the subject and gain a clear grasp of concepts. They develop expertise in the ever-increasing cyber dangers and weaknesses.

According to the New York Times, there are currently 3.5 million cyber security positions around the world that have not been filled by 2025. This programme is specifically tailored to meet the demand and skill requirements of the upcoming decade. Students will be able to develop their IT management, technical, implementation, and cyber security abilities through this programme. It combines cyber awareness with industrial practice in a unique way.
