The B.Tech. programme in Computer Science and Engineering is perhaps the most popular programme in the N.I.T Tiruchirapalli campus with an average intake of 70 students per year. The Computer Science and Engineering Department spares no effort in imparting High Quality Education to its highly Motivated students. The B.E. programme innovatively designed to cater to the Global demands offers a balanced coverage of hardware, software with emphasis on various aspects of Software including programming.

The programme includes elective courses covering thrust areas such as Distributed Computing, Parallel Architecture, High-Speed Networks and Multimedia Systems. The programme is supported by the infrastructure facilities available in the Octagon, this centre is connected to the Internet via 2Mbps leased line from Software Technology Park of India (STPi).

The B.Tech. programme enjoys an enviable placement of almost 100% year after year. About 15% of the students pursue higher studies, mostly in the U.S with scholarship and even with fellowship. The Computers Today included the department among the 12 best schools in Computer Science, for the B.Tech. Programme in India.


Design of Curriculum

The B. Tech. Curriculum bas been designed conforming to the recommendations of ACM and guidelines of AICTE. It consists of the following components of study:

a)      Mathematics

b)      Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry)

c)      Humanities (English, Management)

d)     Computer Science and Engineering

Further, the engineering component has the following classifications:

a)      Theoretical Computer Science or Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science

b)      Hardware

c)      System Software

d)     Applications

Moreover, the CSE subjects are grouped into Core and Elective subjects. Electives are offered in VI, VII, and VIII semesters. In each semester (III to VIII) two laboratory courses are taught. The student is tested for comprehensive knowledge in VII semester. Project work is undertaken in VIII semester. In theory and laboratory classes mini project/term project is encouraged. Internship in industries and premiere institutions such as IITs and IISc is encouraged and availed in summer/winter vacation. Some students do avail internship offer in abroad also.
