Foreword

MESSAGE FROM FACULTY IN CHARGE, PLACEMENTS

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati – an Institute of National Importance, came into being in the year 1994. In the last 20 years the Institute has grown itself into a full fledged premier technological Institute. The graduating students – starting from the very first batch – have shown tremendous potential and skills in their respective fields of study as well as fared very well in overall personality development. Therefore it is obvious that the recruiters from all fields have responded very enthusiastically and rated our students very high. . The department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology was formed in 1995. The faculty strength of the department has grown rapidly in the last few years. We take this opportunity to invite your esteemed organization to visit our campus for recruitment.

The B.Tech program is a four year program. During the first three years the emphasis is on imparting a solid foundation. The curricu-lum is designed in such a way that after the first three years, students will be well equipped to understand and tackle moderately dif-ficult problems from industry and academia. Most of our students go for internships at various companies and universities abroad during their semester breaks. During the final year, we offer a large list of elective courses on advanced topics which the students can choose according to the interests. In addition they do a year long project where they work on topics of their interests with a faculty member.

The M.Tech program is a two year program. Our students spend the first year learning the fundamentals. They also attend classes on various advanced topics of their choice during the first year. The entire second year is spent in doing a research level project. Ours is a young institute and is growing at a fast pace. Over the years, our students are routinely sought after by the top rated companies at attractive pay packages. We have no doubt that current batch of students will better the lofty standards set by seniors. I would like to extend a whole hearted invitation to your company to be part of our placement season this year.

Through the organisation of, and active participation in conferences and colloquia of international repute , in varied fields of advanced study, the Department has been a centre for excellence.

PROGRAMMES OFFERED

Currently the department offers programmes for Undergraduates, Graduates and Doctoral candidates.

• Bachelor in Technology (B.Tech.), Computer Science and Engineering: The B.Tech programme in Computer Science and Engineering imparts the fundamentals of Computer Science through a set of core courses. It also equips the student in his/her chosen specialization, through a set of electives. It is for a duration of eight semesters spanning four years and includes general engineering education as well as core Computer Science education. Apart from the courses, the B.Tech curriculum has a final year dissertation. The course structure pro-vides a optimal mix of compulsory and elective courses.

• Master in Technology (M.Tech.), Computer Science and Engineering: This is a four semester programme with two semesters devoted to Thesis research. Course structure consists of 6 Core as well as 4 Elective courses. Out of 6 core courses, two of them are lab oriented. Typically students take electives so as to aid them in their thesis. Typically core subjects include Mathematics for CS, Data Structures and Algorithms, Theory of Computation, Systems Lab, etc During the second year students have to concentrate on thesis, however, if needed one can audit/credit a course. In total a student is supposed to fulfil 96 credits to be awarded M. Tech.

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Computer Science and Engineering: The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is the Department’s research degree for graduate students and is available in all faculties and departments.

• B.Tech. Minor Programme, Computer Science and Engineering: The B.Tech. Minor programme in Computer Science & Engineering imparts the fundamentals of Computer Science through a set of five theoretical courses which spans five semesters over three years and includes general introduction to core Computer Science education. Admission to the B.Tech. Minor programme is offered to vtudents pur-suing their B.Tech degree in Non-CSE departments.
