B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering

With most of the businesses and services becoming digital, the demand for technical engineers and programmers have also increased. The career opportunities in this sector are huge. To become an engineer, you need to have a bachelors degree in technology, commonly called B.Tech or BE. There are various specialisations available under B.Tech and one of the most pursued specialisations is B.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering. This is the field of engineering where programming and networking are taken into account. If you are highly fascinated by the cyber thing then this artificial intelligence thing is apt for you.

 

In case, you also aspire to become a Computer Science engineer, then check the information provided below that might help you towards leading the right path. 

 

Computer Science Engineering: Admissions

 

The foremost step towards becoming a Computer Science engineer is to take admission into the Bachelors of Technology with specialisation in the Computer Sciences. To take admission to this 4-year undergraduate course, you need to have a minimum of 50% aggregate in Class XII, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your subjects. Passing Class XII with optional computer subjects like C++ or Java can add to the benefits. You also need to be good in mathematical thinking, problem-solving and analytics to perform well in the field.

 

Most of the reputed institutions accept the scores of these entrance examination as the eligibility for admission to B.Tech courses – The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering for Computer Science (GATE CS), Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Mains and Advance for IITs), Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT), Vellore Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Exam (VITEEE), and Symbiosis Entrance Exam (SET). There are other State and autonomous institutions who conduct their own entrance examinations. 

 

Career Options

 

Computer Science engineers have a variety of options to make their careers by joining the following fields- System Analyst, Technical Support Engineer, Testing Engineer, and Software Engineer. You can even be involved in analysis-synthesis of various problems for solutions, formulating and testing, using multi-media equipment, working in teams for product development and even advanced communications. Also, you can assist in cloud computing.

 

Placements

 

An integral part of a good institution’s annual curriculum involves 2 things- internships and final job placements. Various recruiters collaborate with the engineering institutions to provide internships as well as jobs to the students.
