M.Tech Computer Science

M Tech Computer Science and Engineering is a full-time 2 year postgraduate program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to develop innovative solutions required by the modern computing industry.  The program offers a strong background for research and career in information and communication technology globally.

M.Tech Computer Science and Engineering program at Sharda Group aims at preparing the students to take up research and development, and other application activities in the core and emerging areas in this field with focus on Artificial Intelligence and AI related applications. The program covers advanced level courses in computer architecture, algorithms, networking, databases, distributed computing and computational intelligence.

The purpose of the program at Sharda Group is to create professionals capable of supporting R & D activities in critical areas like medical diagnostics, intelligent monitoring systems, monitoring and surveillance systems etc. During the course, students will also learn several programming languages and computer system technologies.

Program Structure : The focus of M.Tech Computer Science and Engineering program is on understanding and making the right choice of abstractions and thus making it possible to implement IT solutions from existing and future components.  The course covers areas such as system integration, distributed and embedded systems, networking, software engineering, and algorithms, safe and secure systems, system-on-chip and digital systems.

During the program, students will also learn various computer system technologies and will apply algorithmic principles, mathematical skills, big data, and knowledge of cloud computing and computer science theory in the modeling and designing of computer based systems. Students will also exercise their analytical abilities in analyzing problems, formulating and testing using advanced communications and will work in teams for the product development. Apart from the core courses, students may also choose electives depending on their interests.

The mandatory project work empowers the students to gain in-depth knowledge about the field. This is an industry-relevant program that offers strong theoretical foundation and hands-on exposure to the learners. Students are taught through case-studies by the industry experts.

Program Objectives

• To bring out the stupendous potential that resides in every candidate, in the field of computing technology, research and development, design, and engineering.
• To focus on enhancing the analytical, decision-making and problem-solving skills of the students
• To prepare graduates who will contribute to the society as broadly educated, ethical, responsible and expressive citizens with proven expertise
• To prepare graduates who will thrive to pursue life-long learning to fulfill their goals
• To develop professional skills in the students that will prepare them for immediate employment in the advanced areas of computer science and its related fields

The six major fields (domains) in which IT professionals work are:-

Scope / Career Prospects: After the completion of M.Tech Computer Science and Engineering program, students will have plenty of career opportunities in various organizations and multi-national companies. Job prospects for computer engineers have been increasing rapidly both in India and abroad.

The broader areas include information system operation and management, programming and software development, networking, telecommunications, web and internet, computer science, image processing, training and support.

At senior management levels the industry offers almost the best compensation. At entry level also offers range from Rs. 2.5 lakh/p.a. to Rs. 6.5 lakh/p.a. and in 4 years the earnings get doubled. For those trained in niche areas of software development, ERP, VLSI & chip design, etc. or in MNCs of repute Rs. 4.0 lakh/p.a. to Rs. 8 lakh/p.a. at entry level may be offered. Almost 50% of the demand is from the Banking, Finance, Securities, Investment, Insurance sectors (known in short as BFSI Sectors) & here engineers/B.Tech. are not necessarily needed, but MCA students with Commerce, Accounts, Math’s background & Business sense can do really very well. But such MCA students are in short supply. The average MCA students can get employed as programmers & applications support engineers & then gradually grow into senior positions. Initial salaries vary from Rs. 1.8 lakh/p.a. to Rs. 4 lakh/p.a. for MCA’s depending on merit & aptitude.

There are plenty of jobs in retail, tourism, travel & hospitality; healthcare, transport, B.P.O.’s, K.P.O’s & Service Support, hardware and networking where BCA’s are needed in huge numbers with a starting entry level salary of 1.2 L.P.A. to 1.8 L.P.A. B.C.A’s desirous of higher paying jobs may combine MBA or MCA degrees, & earn twice as much. The duties of an IT professional may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems. The world IT market is estimated at 1.6 trillion dollars, out of which only about 60 billion dollars is currently India’s share, which is likely to grow to 600 billion dollars over the next decade…. so we have only seen the initial part of IT growth.
