B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Cybersecurity)
In a constantly evolving tech world, surrendering to the cyberspace has become inevitable. Organizations face various challenges pertaining to cyber-security today, that involves security breaches, ineffective security protocols, dearth of 24/7 support, security threats faced by the employees and the unpreparedness for those threats, phishing and lack of training about security threats and scams. With constantly changing ways of hacking and cyber crimes, it is quite challenging to tweak cyber security systems to be a fool proof.
Programme Overview:
B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (Cybersecurity) covers the fundamentals of computer science, programming, automation, and various applications of Cybersecurity in the areas of Information security governance, risk management, cyber incident response plan, hybrid cloud data backup, access controls, email and online protection, vulnerability assessments, and security, etc.
A 4-year undergraduate engineering degree focusing on practical and theoretical knowledge of computer science and cyberspace security, it covers most of the foundational aspects of computing and engineering skills for problem-solving.
The program is designed keeping in mind the exponential growth in the usage of information technology by individuals, private and government sectors and a rising demand of cybersecurity professionals to countermeasure online cyber-attacks and protect cyberspace from various vulnerabilities. The job requirements for cybersecurity professionals are expected to grow rapidly in India and Abroad to protect cyber space, sensitive information, and also digital assets.
This program is intended to produce highly skilled cybersecurity professionals who can protect cyberspace and also meet various security requirements of the private and government sectors. The program has been designed with inputs from industry professionals and academic experts from various Universities in India and abroad. Some of the important courses of study include cryptography, cyber laws, web security, mobile application security, network security, digital forensics, artificial intelligence, ethical hacking, security architecture, and cloud security with solid theoretical foundation and project-based skills.
Career Opportunities:
The career opportunities available in industry for B.Tech. CSE (Cybersecurity) graduates are Software Engineer, Data Scientist, Computer Network Architect, Mobile App Developer, Web Developer, Cloud Engineer, Designer, Embedded Engineer, Data Engineer, and UI Developer etc.
The opportunities in cybersecurity domain are Cybersecurity Analyst, Security Engineer, Security Architect, Security Administrator, Security Software Developer, Cryptanalyst, Digital Forensic Analyst, Vulnerability Assessor, Cloud Security Architect, Intrusion Detection Specialist, Cybercrime Investigator, Malware Analyst, Data Privacy Officer, Computer Security Incident Responder, Governance Compliance & Risk (GRC) Manager and Security Consultant.
There is a wide range of placements for these cyber security job roles programs in India and abroad in some of the top Fortune 500 companies like ABB Corp, Cisco, IBM, VMware, EY, Paladino Networks, Bosch, Nokia, Philips, Amazon etc.
B.Tech. in Datascience, B.Tech. in IOT
Data Science and Big Data is trending and very much in demand amongst Information Technology (IT) specialists. The knowledge and skills learned during a Bachelor’s degree are incredibly valuable for today’s job market. In today’s world every type of job involves working with data and most of the organisations at all levels need a skilled data scientist to filter the errors, interpret data, and find solutions and derive insights. A data scientist is like an analyst who easily predicts and calculates the probable results of the business by looking at streams of data.
B.Tech. CSE (Data Science)
B. Tech in Computer Science with specialization in Data Science (DS) is a new & a growing field which consists of a set of tools and techniques used to extract useful information from data. The programme encompasses data Science as an interdisciplinary, problem-solving oriented subject that learns to apply scientific techniques to practical problems. The course curriculum involves a blend of data inference, algorithm development, and technology to analytically solve complex problems.
Data Science has been specifically designed to provide a platform to undergraduate students for a prospective career in the upcoming data science industry. The course encompasses Data Science as an interdisciplinary, problem-solving approach that learns to apply scientific techniques to practical problems. It is an intensive skill-oriented program with enough practical training for building business models for analytics.
With analysis and statistical approach, data science is one of the fastest growing career opportunities in the country. B.Tech. in Data Science teaches the students how to combine machine learning techniques, algorithms, tools, business acumen and mathematics and apply raw data to extract useful information from it. In short, technology, algorithm development and data interference are blended together to solve complex problems analytically in Data Science.
B.Tech. CSE (IOT)
Internet of Things (IoT) along with the Computer Science and Engineering programme equips students with strong skill for sensor network design and network planning for IoT. The programme aims to train students with systematic professional knowledge and strong practical skills in the fields of computer technology communications networks and IT that provides a wide range of applications in the Internet of Things.
Internet of Things (IoT) is an interdisciplinary program which has a vast scope of usage. IoT generally refers to a growing network of internet-connected devices that find various applications in engineering and sciences. When objects are interconnected across the world it allows people or things using those objects to be connected anytime to make human life easy and convenient.
Students undertaking this course can seek positions for Applications Developer, Testing Specialist, Technical Consultant for IOT & Smart City, IOT Technology Architect / Smart City Solutions Architect, IOT (Sensor / Communication) Security Expert, Technical Support Engineer ( IOT & Smart City) , Entrepreneur.
