IIIT

B Tech in Computer Science & Engineering
A new Programme in Computer Science & Engineering is proposed looking at the need of industry and the mission of the institute to develop high quality manpower. This will be a four year programme with the twin objective of:
Catering to the industry needs, To prepare high quality manpower in emerging areas such as IoT (Internet of Things), Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud computing, Security, Networking and Social networks. The programme will have flexibility to opt for a set of electives. The students will be required to undertake subjects from Humanities/management, Science, core computer Science etc. A specialised stream of electives will be offered in areas such as
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Signal, Image and Video Processing
Computer Architecture and System Design
IoT
Networks
Theoretical Computer Science
Data ScienceThe first batch commence from July 2017 and the intake is 40. The admission is through JoSAA. This programme is at par with the curriculum available in IITs and other IIITs. Total credits - 166

The world is of all-rounders. While it is a good thing to look for specializations, most of the success stories of designers have witnessed them switching and acing fortes. I would strongly recommend you to look for B. Des programme in Interdisciplinary Design, where you will be able to concentrate on various aspects of design, rather than restricting to just one specialization. As per my knowledge, this discipline is offered only in NID and JK Lakshmipat University in India so far. You can apply for B. Des programme at JK Lakshmipat University. JK Lakshmipat University, the philanthropic initiative of the 125-year-old JK Organisation (JK Tyre, JK Lakshmi Cement, JK Paper), has introduced a new paradigm in design education with innovative courses like Product Design, Interaction Design and Interdisciplinary Design, led by the design industry veteran Prof A. Balasubramaniam.
