Master of Technology (M.Tech)

M.Tech is meant for graduates in engineering disciplines and postgraduates in related sciences. Three different streams of M.Tech. are offered by the school – M.Tech(CS), M.Tech(AI) and M.Tech(IT) with specialization in Banking Technology and Information Security. Admissions are open for sponsored and foreign candidates also. These are supernumerary.

M.Tech. (Computer Science)
This programme offers core courses of computer science like Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Algorithms, Software Engineering at an advanced level. Specialized electives of faculty research interest are offered as electives. The course work develops scientific and mathematical approach to computing. Students can also specialize in “Data Science” or “Cyber Security and Computer Forensics” based on courses taken and the dissertation in these areas.

M.Tech. (Artificial Intelligence)
This programme is meant for students already well equipped in computing sciences and imparts advanced training in all the major areas of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, such as Human Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, Computational Intelligence etc.

M.Tech. (Information Technology)
This programme offers specialization in Banking Technology and Information Security aims at imparting in-depth knowledge and state-of- art expertise to the students through innovative learning supported by high calibre research and technology leadership to create a pool of responsible and resourceful IT professionals, in particular, for the financial-banking sector.

Admission Process :
General Admission Information for M.Tech. Programmes. Admission to programmes in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology courses is based on only GATE scores in Computer Science and Information Technology. No entrance examination or any interviews will be conducted. GATE scores, in order of merit, will be the basis for admission which is done by counseling. Students should indicate their preference for the choice of program (whether CS/AI/IT) in the application form. Request for change of option will not be entertained during counseling.
