Programmes offered

B.Sc. Computer Science

Computer Science has been a very attractive career option for more than two decades now. Students have always been on a look out for a course in computers; be it a full-fledged degree in the subject or a short-term course. If you are also among such students and wish to pursue a career in this subject, you can go for a B. Sc in Computer Science. The course covers all aspects of computers right from the basic fundamentals of computers to database systems & advanced courses like C++, Java etc. The best thing about this course is that it mainly focuses on the mathematical and theoretical foundations of computing rather than specific technologies, which quickly become outdated. This way the course prepares anyone for higher education.

However, enhancing skills is not a must. Career options available for a student who has completed his graduation in the field of computer science are quite ample these days. One can say this mainly because of the fast growth of IT in our country. Numerous organizations hire B. Sc (CS) students for the post of software testers, software developers etc. in their IT departments.

Career Opportunities in Private Sector

These days there are innumerable career opportunities for B. Sc (CS) in private organizations. Major national and multinational firms in the country welcome students who have completed their graduation in computer science. The top IT firms in India include Wipro, TCS and Satyam. These firms not only offer attractive packages but also excellent exposure in the field. Besides these IT firms, students can also get jobs with management consultancy organizations, power plants and other organizations that use computers and computer-aided systems. Teaching is another option that students can consider.
Here is a list of some of the job profiles available for students:
