A Complete Guide on Different Specialisations Under B.tech Courses

Are you confused by the different specialisations available for B.Tech? We have got you covered as we are going to go through different specialisations and their possible career options. Bachelor of Technology courses are skill-oriented and applications-based engineering courses. These lean towards applying one’s knowledge in practical aspects, especially in industries. The curriculum involves the teaching methods in production and research. One of the best engineering courses after 12th, B.Tech is a very popular choice among a large number of Indian students and the various specialisations under it are sought after by students from all parts of the country. Approved and accredited by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), the courses offer career options in a myriad of industries and companies.

B.Tech offers many specialist tracks. Some of the best B. Tech courses are as under:

• Computer Science

Computer Science Engineering is perhaps the most sought-after tech degree in India. A four-year B. Tech Computer Science and Engineering course includes subjects such as Operating Systems, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Programming Languages, Microprocessor, Computer Software, Database Management systems, Mobile Communication, Network Security etc. The program has a large component of lab work, and research and also includes internships with the industry.

It leads to good job opportunities in the roles of Software Engineer, Database Manager, Mobile Technologist, Computer Network Architect and front-end or back-end developer.

• AI and Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are the neo-tech courses that have taken the fascination and interest of young college students in recent years. These technology elements are being amalgamated with many fields such as medicine, space science and Astrophysics to name a few. Within the curriculum of these two engineering domains, subjects taught are Web Technologies, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Introduction to JAVA and OOPS, Natural language Processing, and Introduction to AI and ML respectively. The degree course leads to jobs as Machine Learning Engineer, AI Data Analyst, Research Scientist, Robotics Scientist etc.

• Data Science

Data Science Engineering is a multidisciplinary course that involves Computer Science, Computational Mathematics, Statistics and Management. It involves data collection methods, designing enterprise, data storage methods and data retrieval. The students who are good with Maths and numerical abilities can do well in this engineering specialisation. Subjects included in this course include Visualisation, Predictive Modelling and Analysis, Data Analytics, Knowledge Representation and Deep Learning among others.

The careers that a student can pursue after this engineering track is as Data Science Expert, Enterprise Architect, Data Analyst, and Data Engineer.

• Information Technology

Information Technology engineering, also known as Information Engineering Methodology, is a software engineering approach to designing information systems. It combines computers, networks, storage and hardware to deal with and utilise data-based information. Major topics that are taught in this specialisation are Computer Architecture and Organisation, Database Systems, Electronics, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Multimedia Appliances etc. A student can take up a job as an Information technology Officer, Web Designer, and Data Security Officer.

• Electronics and Communication

Electronics and Communication is the field that focuses on researching, designing, developing and testing electronic communications and broadcast systems. The curriculum of this specialist engineering course includes modules on Applied Physics, Chemistry and math, Electrical and Electronics, engineering mechanics and materials, and technical drawing. This domain leads to career paths of System Control Engineer, Electronics Design and Development Engineer, and Desktop Support Engineer.

Among the best universities for B.Tech, is CMR University. The university has recently been awarded the ‘Emerging University of the Year by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), New Delhi. CMRU School of Engineering and Technology is ranked 4th amongst Top Engineering Institutes, by Times All India Engineering Institutes Ranking.

Features That make CMRU Unique

The university is also renowned for being different in the way it helps its students develop enviable skills and knowledge through support services and superior pedagogy. Some of the features that make CMRU unique are:

• Encouraging Design thinking

CMRU fosters a spirit of innovation and design thinking among its student body. The students are trained to develop cognitive, strategic and practical ways of thinking that makes them engage with design problems creatively and scientifically. For this, expert inputs from the faculty, digitally equipped classes and labs, and exposure to a variety of experimentation are provided as part of the teaching and learning process.

• Experiential learning

CMRU believes in the fact that all theoretical learning should be transferred to lab settings for developing meaningful applications that benefit society. The students thus undertake many projects, group assignments, research work and dissertations that approach real industry issues and propose possible solutions for them. Students also participate in conferences, symposiums, competitions, paper presentations and industry visits as part of the experiential learning process.

• Space to create and learn through the best labs and clubs

CMRU’s student learning spaces are made to facilitate inquiry and self-initiated intellectual development among students, which gives them a sense of confidence and accomplishment. The state-of-the-art labs are world-class and fitted with the latest equipment. The Maker Space is a digitally superior platform, which enables the students to seek information from a wide variety of sources and work on innovative ideas. Student clubs in engineering are functional and provide networking and co-learning opportunities.

• Internship exposure

The best way to know that one has learnt well is to apply it to real-world professional settings. As part of the course design, every B.Tech course at CMRU has a compulsory component of the internship. Each student gets exposure to work in a company in their area of specialisation and hone their know-how and expertise in working in team settings and delivering good quality work to specified timelines.

• Placement help

The career and job placement division at CMRU collaborates with some of the best engineering companies that regularly give job offers and conduct campus interviews to select students in their eighth semester itself. This ensures that the students have a ready job option upon graduating.

• Best faculty

The backbone of all the students success rests with the superior faculty that teach and lead research initiatives at CMRU. The university has employed the best minds in each engineering specialisation, some of whom have had industry experience along with glorious teaching credentials. The University’s faculty members have published their papers in leading journals around the world and have successfully filed for and obtained patents too. The same spirit of discovery and innovation is instilled by them in every student cohort that passes through their mentorship and guidance.
