Bachelor of Science in Computer
Engineering
The B.Sc. Computer Engineering is a five year professional degree program administered full time to prepare highly skilled competitive technocrats for the complex computing requirements of the industry, teaching and research. The course is tailored to meet the challenging computing needs of the country, conforming to the Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. ( IEEE ) USA standards for Computer Engineering, the best in the world. Much thrust is given to the Engineering aspects of computing like computer systems, computer hardware and development, software engineering and project management. It is also designed to expose the graduating aspirant to the latest knowledge and skills in computing through a series of well designed lectures, laboratory practices, field trips, industrial trainings, case studies and research activities. Graduating Engineers can take up challenging jobs immediately on graduation
