M.Tech. (Computer Engineering)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

M.Tech. Computer Engineering or Master of Technology in Computer Engineering is a postgraduate Computer Engineering course. The course of M.Tech. (Computer Engineering) is of two years duration in general. The two years are further divided into two half-yearly semesters each. M.Tech. in Computer Engineering consists of detailed study of the wide application of computer science. The course is broad in nature covering a wide range of subtopics which includes a complete study of the software as well as hardware of the computer. The M.Tech. (Computer Engineering) programs in India are usually structured as an Engineering Research degree, lesser than Ph.D. and considered to be parallel to M.Phil. and M.S. degrees in Humanities and Science respectively. So, M.Tech. (Computer Engineering) degree is a research-based degree where the student does the research work like in Ph.D. work. The degree course is valuable and job orienting in nature.
