Admission to a Computer Science program typically requires candidates to have completed their higher secondary education (10+2) with Science subjects, particularly Mathematics. Most institutions also require students to pass entrance exams like JEE (for engineering courses) or other university-specific tests. For non-engineering computer science degrees (such as B.Sc. in Computer Science), admissions may be based on 12th-grade marks.

• Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent exams from a recognized board with a focus on Mathematics, and sometimes Physics and Chemistry, depending on the specific program. For B.Tech or B.E. programs in Computer Science, candidates usually need to qualify in entrance exams like JEE, and for B.Sc. or BCA programs, merit-based admissions are common. A minimum percentage of 50-60% in the 12th grade is usually required.

For a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, such as B.Tech/B.E., the duration is four years, divided into eight semesters. For other undergraduate programs like B.Sc. in Computer Science or BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications), the course duration is generally three years, divided into six semesters. For postgraduate programs like M.Tech or M.Sc. in Computer Science, the course typically lasts two years.

• Graduates in Computer Science have a wide range of career opportunities in the tech industry, including roles such as software developers, data scientists, network engineers, system analysts, cybersecurity specialists, and AI/ML engineers. They can work in sectors such as IT, finance, healthcare, education, and more. With the rapid growth of technology, there is a high demand for skilled computer science professionals in fields like web development, mobile app development, cloud computing, and data analytics.
