Graduate Programmes

MS Computer Science

Programme Structure

The MS Programme has a flexible structure and can accommodate students with varied backgrounds. The period of study for this programme for a particular person depends on the individual's prior education and experience. Students holding degrees in Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CMPE) and related studies can complete the programme requirements in less than two years. However, such students will need to produce course descriptions from their previous study in order to get waivers for prerequisite courses. A person with a non-CS/CMPE background may have to spend additional time in completing prerequisite courses; the duration, in this case, will depend on the nature of prior courses taken.

MS Computer Science

The MS in CS programme aims at developing professionals who are equipped with skills to cope with the diverse and ever changing field of Computer Science. The programme provides students with a solid theoretical foundation along with knowledge of latest trends in specialized areas.
The two-year MS Programme provides rigorous training that not only provides a reliable understanding of systems and processes and technologies but also equips them with the ability to design new and imaginative solutions to problems. Those applicants who have a background in Computer Science can complete the programme in one-year by taking the required 45 units.

MS Computer Engineering

The MS Computer Engineering programme has been designed to produce specialized professionals who can perform cutting edge research in selected areas of the field. The aim is to train students to become technical leaders of industry possessing excellent IT management skills or to become competent teachers.
