Computation has become a vital part of nearly everything in our world. Biology, communications, education, environmental studies, health care, law, art, finance, manufacturing, transportation, entertainment, agriculture, energy, sports, government, and many other aspects of our world heavily rely on the advances brought about by computer scientists. Our degree programs are designed to train a new generation of computer scientists--people like you, people who want to change the world with their dedication, knowledge, and expertise, be it within the realm of computer science or in one of the many areas that are critically affected by it.

Overview

Computer Science is one of the most sought after courses by Indian students, thanks to the software and IT boom of the past two decades. Apart from putting India on the global map, computer science has pretty much changed the whole landscape of how people live. Right from social media to the genomics revolution, computer science has played a central role in many of the greatest technological innovations and developments of the 21st century. Since this field is hugely popular among Indian students, admissions to prestigious universities such as IITs, NITs and IIITs are very competitive. On the other hand, computer science is all set to grow in an unparalleled manner in the coming few years, thereby creating a lot of opportunities for students. Read on to discover more about this field in-depth.

Most students take up computer science as their undergraduate major because of the huge number of job opportunities in India’s software and IT industry. But, there is so much more to computer science than just software and IT. A degree in computer science engineering exposes students to both theoretical as well as practical aspects of computer science. By the time undergraduate studies are over, you would have barely scratched the surface of this vast and burgeoning field. Over the past two decades, computer science has evolved rapidly and has produced remarkable acceleration and innovation not just in the world of internet and artificial intelligence but also in diverse fields such as banking, electronics, biology, chemistry, medicine and healthcare, to name a few. In short, computer science has invaded every other field and good programming and coding skills has become a basic requisite.

Since computer science is based on the fundamentals of mathematics, computer science students develop critical reasoning and complex problem solving abilities that will help them in all walks of life. Some of the sub disciplines of computer science are theoretical computer science, theory of computation, information and coding theory, algorithms and data structures, programming language theory, formal methods, applied computer science etc. and students can specialize in any one (or more) of these areas during their undergraduate or graduate studies. Presently, job opportunities are great for computer science students all over the world. Even during difficult times such as recession, a highly skilled and bright computer science professional will always be in demand.

Awards in Computer Science & IT Engineering.IEEE Medal of Honor - The Award: The IEEE Internet Award is a technical award given by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a worldwide (160 countries and 400,000 members) non-profit that promotes advancement of technology. Nokia is a sponsor of the awards.

Turing Award - The Award: The Association for Computer Machinery has a host of awards; the A.M. Turing Award is the most prestigious and sought after. It has been dubbed as the “Nobel Prize” of Computing. Recipients are selected for major contributions of lasting importance to computing and invited to give the annual A.M. Turing Award Lecture.

Millennium Technology Prize - The Award: If the Turing Award can be likened to the Nobel, The Millennium Technology Prize is another contender. It is said to be the largest technology prize in the world (probably in terms of prize money). It is awarded every two years by the Technology Academy Finland, for innovations that enrich our everyday life.

The Kyoto Prize For Advanced Technology - The Award: Set up by the Inamori Foundation of Japan, The Kyoto Prize is an international award to honor those who have contributed significantly to the scientific, cultural, and spiritual betterment of mankind. The prize is rapidly gaining in stature.

Opportunities for Higher Education in Computer Science - INDIA

Let us see which opportunities are there for high quality higher education in computer science.The first question to get clarity is: “Is a premier Master’s program valuable for a better job?”

In the first decade of IT growth (1990-2000), the IT sector in India concentrated on low-end solutions. The emphasis, when it came to employment, was on people with basic exposure to IT and average programming skills.

However, all big organizations have realized that they can enhance their business substantially only if they take to high-end IT, namely, research and cutting edge solutions along with low-end development work. In addition to this, several non-Indian organizations whose emphasis is on research and development (IBM, Microsoft, etc.), have opened R&D labs in India for high-end work.

High-end fields like artificial intelligence, networking, embedded systems, knowledge-based systems, and bio-informatics require very qualified professionals. In this context, there is a tremendous opportunity for specialists (not just programmers). If you have the right academic credentials and are interested in establishing a technically focused career in IT, you should consider doing a high quality/high-end Master’s programs. The two years that you spend doing such a program will add tremendous value to your resume.

High-end Master’s programs are: M.S., M.Tech, or M.E. They can be done after you have studied the relevant subject(s) at the graduate or post-graduate level for 3 to 5 years (i.e., after doing B.E., M.C.A., or M.Sc.).

These Master’s programs take 1.5 to 3 years to do. After completing any of these programs you can pursue a Ph.D. This will take another 4 to 6 years. A PhD is a must for a faculty position in any good university, whether in India or abroad.

The Master’s courses help you get a job in R&D divisions or as a project lead in the best of organizations. Estimates indicate that the demand from industry for such positions in the next 5 years will touch several tens of thousands.

When you study for M.S., M.Tech., or M.E, you will be exposed to the finest researchers and professors. Moreover, these courses will also cover many important concepts not covered in your graduate or post-graduate programs. For example, a “computer architecture” course at the M.S. level covers the subject at a much greater depth than at the B.E level.

Job Opportunities after B.C.SThe aspirants can find many job opportunities after completing B.C.S. The different employment areas where the aspirants can find the job are listed below.
