IIIT-Bangalore is launching a 4-year B.Tech. (CSE) programme in the year 2024. The aim of the programme is to produce high-quality graduates in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) who are equipped with the skills required to solve real-world problems using advanced computational techniques. The programme will prepare a motivated workforce for careers in research and industry, involving innovation, knowledge creation, engineering and entrepreneurship.

The B.Tech. (CSE) programme follows a flexible curriculum covering the theoretical underpinnings of computer science, along with essential topics in computer systems. It emphasizes foundational aspects of computer science while developing students' engineering skills to tackle emerging technological challenges. From the fifth semester onwards, students register for elective courses following the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as recommended by AICTE and other regulatory bodies. As part of the mandatory branch electives, students must take courses in TCS (Theoretical Computer Science) and SSY (Software Systems). The programme also includes a mandatory internship or thesis.

Students interested in the core of the CSE domain are encouraged to specialize in one of the following domains by earning an additional 20 credits in that specific area. Students completing the CSE specialization (Non-Minor) with a CGPA of 3.5/4.0 or above will graduate with a B.Tech. (Honours) in CSE.

The following are the optional specializations available for B.Tech. (CSE):

  1. TCS  (Theoretical Computer Science).
  2. SSY (Software Systems). 
  3. NC (Networking and Communication).

Alternatively, students can earn a Minor in a non-CSE area by successfully completing an additional 20 credits in the chosen area. The Minor could be in one of the following areas:

  1. VLSI (VLSI Systems)
  2. DT (Digital Society)

Note: The above lists of areas are subject to change and refinement from time to time.

Please note that students can complete the B.Tech. (CSE) program without the requirement of earning a specialization or minor with extra credits.

Draft curriculum document can be downloaded from here.  Please note that the details are subject to change. Final version will be uploaded by May 31, 2024.
