M.Tech Computer Science and Engineering is offered with choice-based specialization in Cyber Security / Data Science / AI and ML that has acquired widespread acceptance and adoption among Enterprise business applications and the research community. The syllabus structure is designed by the academicians from the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Jadavpur University, and industrial experts from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC). The state-of-the-art Computer Labs are well equipped with small software tools that provide candidates with practical skills. Internships and Research Projects in different private and government organizations are part of the curriculum. Students will have the chances to be engaged in full-time projects with real-life applications in various research institutes like ISRO, CDAC, ISI, DRDO, University of Calcutta, Jadavpur University, NITs, or in companies inside and outside West Bengal. Publications of  National and International Journals will be a daily practice of the students of these programs. Profit from Case Studies, Simulations, Virtual Labs & Remote Labs permit learners to apply concepts to simulated and real-world situations. The Dissertation qualifies candidates to apply concepts and techniques learned during the program. Frequent Workshops, Technical Events, Guest Lectures enable candidates to upgrade their knowledge and skills.

Data science is witnessing applications in diverse research disciplines; this program opens up several new science and engineering research opportunities. The current syllabus covers areas that prepare candidates for the most lucrative careers in the space of Data Science, Data Engineering, and Advanced Analytics. The course provides extensive knowledge of the most popular data science techniques.

Duration & Eligibility

Career Prospects

Data Scientist positions are new roles where the industry is looking for trained resources. There is a sizable perceivable gap between the number of opportunities and the trained resources. For a professional who is already doing a job, it may be tricky to switch to a job as a Data Scientist. A better option is to leave a job to pursue a Master’s prestige professionally. This will give candidates more time to understand Data Science in-depth and then apply for jobs when ready. The power of a Master’s degree in Data Science is the setting pathways for candidates to be a leader in that sector. Govt. of India and Private sectors provide many endorsements and thrust in Data Science. The Postgraduates in M.Tech will find themselves identifying cutting-edge research opportunities at various Research Laboratories and several industries currently involved in this field. The candidates can find many job opportunities abroad as well. The candidates can go after Ph.D. or move into research in India or abroad. The scope of research is much higher. Candidates can also try for Assistant Professor in IITs, NITs, IIITs, government / private Universities, and engineering institutes.

M.Tech Programmes in Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science,  and Machine Learning will provide the candidates with the necessary skills to work with the innovative technologies in industries on the one hand and pursue high-end research in premium Universities / Institutes in India and abroad on the other. Research chances are growing day by day for these three emerging specialized fields, continuing. The scope will also be to pursue Ph.D. at Universities / Institutes to become eligible for a Professor Job in University / Institute or as a Scientist in Research organizations.
