Course Duration  3 years 4.  Programme Structure Semester system          Computer science engineering is concerned with the study of the basic structure of how the software performs its tasks. It is the task of computer science engineers to make sense of the mathematical formulae of the real world and convert it into a series of steps that the computer can follow. Computer science is traditionally more concerned with the theoretical underpinnings of computation and programming; thus one typically finds courses in programming, algorithms, numerical analysis (how do you guarantee a number produced by a computer program is accurate), and the theory of computation (what can and cannot in principle be computed). Computer science engineering is concerned with the theory of computing, programming languages, operating system, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, cryptography and computational complexity. Computer science is more about the theory of software, algorithms, data structures, networks, databases, etc. Computer Science is one of the most profitable and competitive course to study. In comparison to other sectors, computer science graduates fetch higher salaries in the beginning.   Functions  It includes the knowledge of programming, data structures, digital logic, theoretical computer science, algorithms, computer networks, operating systems, web technologies, databases, computer architecture, etc. Study of how data and instructions are processed, stored, communicated by computing devices It deals with the algorithms for processing data, symbolic representation of data and instructions, design of instruction languages for processing data Techniques for writing software that process data on a variety of computing platforms Protocols for communicating data reliably and securely across networks Emulation of human intelligence and learning through computer algorithms Statistical modelling of data in large databases to support inference of trends, and techniques for protecting the content and authenticity of data Algorithmic analysis- creation, optimization and debugging of algorithms Software systems- the implementation of software, different environments, compilers and operating systems Theory- the basic theory of which tasks can be completed in computational manner and which cannot be completed Practice as computer professionals, conducting research and leading, designing, developing or maintaining projects in various technical areas Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data Ability to analyse a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution Ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity Ability to identify, formulate and solve computer science and engineering problems and define the computing requirements appropriate to their solutions   Main Subjects :Three Year Diploma Curricula    Further Education Students can opt for AMIE, Grade IETE, can get admission in IInd year Bachelor of Engg. based on merit of Diploma or through entrance exam for further education.   Employment Opportunities ·          Booming IT sector in India has plenty of jobs for fresh computer science graduates ·        Computer engineers have plenty of options to work in IT companies in departments such as design, development, assembly, manufacture and maintenance, etc. ·         Programmer/web developer/e-commerce specialist in telecommunication companies, automotive companies, aerospace companies etc. ·         Software developers/hardware engineers/system designers/system analysts/networking engineers/DBA ·        Numerous national and multi-national computer manufacturing companies, computer hardware system design and development companies, computer networking companies, software development companies, etc. require computer professionals in large numbers ·          Top companies which hire computer science engineers are—Google, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, International Business Machines Corporation, Toshiba Corporation, Dell Inc, NEC Corporation, Canon Inc, Apple Inc, ASSUSTEK Computer Inc, Acer Inc, Lenovo Group Limited, SAIC, Sun Microsystems, TCS, Infosys, HCL, Wipro, Techmahindra, etc. ·            Government organisations like DRDL, ISRO, ECIL, BEL offer jobs to computer science students ·           Computer science engineers can also get jobs in non-IT companies like universities, research, private and public industries, government departments, business organizations, commercial organizations and the manufacturing sectors, etc. ·           Computer Science engineering diploma holders may even start their own venture with a very little investment. ·           Commercial organisation providing services in repair & maintenance of Computers and other peripherals.
