What is Computer Science Engineering?
Computer Science Engineering is the most popular course among engineering aspirants. Computer Science Engineering deals with both software and hardware processes such as program designs, algorithm analysis, computation, software and other aspects of computer hardware. Moreover, a computer engineer is responsible for designing, implementing and maintenance of information systems and for the development of software and hardware systems.
What is the role of a computer science engineer?
Computer science engineers have a number of lucrative opportunities as almost every industry establishes an individual IT infrastructure unit, irrespective of their nature of business. The major functions of a computer science engineer include designing, developing and maintaining software and hardware solution which keep on frequently changing with the technology around us. Furthermore, a computer science specialist can encash the opportunities to work in database management, telecommunication, multimedia, web designing, IT, gaming and embedded systems.
Moreover, Computer Science Engineers can work as Computer Operator, Technical Engineer, Computer Science and Engineering Professor, Computer Service Engineer, Manager, System Engineer (Computer Hardware Networking) and so on.
Some of the well-known companies like Infosys and TCS are among the top recruiters, and they hunt different campuses in universities for skilled professionals all around the country.
How to become a Computer Science Engineer?
If you want to seek admission in B.Tech in Computer Science, then you have to pass a higher secondary exam from a recognized board of state or central with physics, chemistry, and math as your core subject with a minimum of 45% (minimum score criteria may vary in different institutions).
To get admission in colleges, you will have to crack different entrance exams conducted at state and national level or exam conducted by university/ college. Depending on your rank in these exams, you get to choose from colleges all across the country. IITs are the Mecca for the students where they don’t just learn but worship engineering. The private institutions like Sharda University are also mnarking their solid presence by producing the remarkable talent in the field of engineering. Moreover, most of the Indian students head towards foreign universities to pursue engineering courses.
Some of the well-known entrance exams include JEE MAIN Exam, JEE Advanced Exam, BITSAT, COMEDK UGET, VITEEE, UPSEEE, SUAT to name a few.
Based on the performance of the students in these exams and their academic qualifications, candidates are allocated seats in various colleges all across the country. The duration of a Computer Science Engineering program is 4 years.
What is the future for a Computer Science Engineer?
Technology has been growing exponentially over the past decade. There has been increasing demand for bright and skilled graduates to transform fields from data infrastructure to cyber security. It is very important for an aspirant to stay updated with all the trends storming the tech industry like Artificial Intelligence & Robotics, Big data analysis, Bioinformatics, Cyber Security and other aspects related to computer-assisted education.
