Computer Science and Engineering

Yes, you can seek direct admission into the second year of the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme at both KJ Somaiya College of Engineering and Thakur College of Engineering and Technology after completing a Diploma in CSE.

CSE department is in a mission to achieve the educational excellence and our focus areas are:- 100% placement assistance for the students.

The intake capacity for the specialisation of Computer Science under the BSc course is of 80 seats. The students looking forward to rake part in the admission and fetch a seat should meet the set eligibility criteria. 

No, you cannot pursue B.Tech in CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) through the CUET (Common University Entrance Test) in most cases.

Here's why:

CUET is primarily used for admission to undergraduate courses in central and some state/private universities, especially for BA, BSc, BCom, BBA, etc.

Engineering courses like B.Tech (especially in top colleges like NITs, IITs, IIITs, and most state engineering colleges) admit students based on JEE Main or state-level entrance exams, not cuet ! 

Apart from the M.Tech CSE tuition fee, every college also charges an additional amount for things like hostel accommodation, admission application fee, semester exam fee, lab work fee and other charges that may be applicable.

You can go through the detailed MTech in Computer Science Engineering fee structure on the official college websites to get a clear picture and make an informed decision as to which college to go for.

The M.Tech CSE syllabus lays emphasis on both the theoretical aspect and the practical understanding of important CSE concepts. In the first year you'll be exposed to the foundational knowledge needed to excel at the workplace while the second year focuses more on the practical side of things like research projects and informative seminars. All in all, it would be a fun ride for you if you have the right attitude and passion towards the CSE field.

The clear answer is no. The syllabus for MTech in Computer Science Engineering varies from one college to another. Every college abides by a certain coursework guideline decided by the college committee at the beginning of the academic year. Generally speaking, the syllabus includes some core subjects, elective subject choices, laboratory classes, and project work.

Though the subjects might vary, the basic concepts taught in the classes are almost similar, covering all the fundamental knowledge and advanced-level CSE concepts that give you a comprehensive understanding of the field.

To get excellent marks in the M.Tech CSE entrance exam and get a seat at a top-ranked college, you must start preparing for the exam at least 8 to 10 months before the final exam is supposed to take place. This allows you to have enough time for revision and cover most of the exam syllabus portion.

You should try and cover almost all of the sections of the syllabus to increase your chances of getting shortlisted. Best of luck.

You can check the basic list of documents that you must have with you during the M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering admission process given below:

• UG Mark Sheet with at least 55 to 60% marks
• Provisional Mark Sheet (if the original is not issued yet)
• Class 12 Mark Sheet
• Entrance Exam Scorecard and Admit Card Copy
• A Valid ID Proof like Aadhar Card, PAN, Passport, etc.
