B Tech in CSE, B Tech in ECE, B Tech Honours at The International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H)

The core undergraduate programme is offered in two streams – Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and Electronics & Communications Engineering (ECE). The first year of the programme in both streams is similar and is intended to ensure a common background in the core concepts of computer science and electronics and communications, exposure to humanities, skills and human values. The second year is aimed at strengthening their knowledge in chosen areas, while offering sound exposure to pure sciences, engineering and humanities streams. A student enrolled in CSE can take ECE courses as electives, and vice-versa. Also, the core programme allows students to switch to the dual-degree (B Tech plus MS by Research) in any of the sub-areas within CSE, ECE, Engineering, Sciences and Humanities.

B Tech in CSE

The CSE programme is designed to create talent to carry out research. Students are given a strong foundation in CSE that includes electronics and hardware. Computer science courses are introduced in the early semesters, and non-IT courses in the later stages. This allows students to master the subject and carry out projects in the related subject starting from the second year. IT Workshops are specially designed courses meant to impart mastery in the use of the latest software technologies by the third semester. The courses in mathematics, sciences, engineering and humanities enable students to explore the wider applications of information technology.



B Tech in ECE

The ECE programme is designed to create talent to carry out research. Students are introduced to core courses that include programming, data structures, linear algebra, probability and random processes.ECE courses like electronics, signals & systems, communications, VLSI, and embedded systems are introduced in the early semesters. Electronics Workshops are specially designed courses intended to give students hands-on experience in electronic circuit design in the third and fourth semesters. Advanced courses and electives in later years enable students to specialize in communications, signal processing, robotics, VLSI, embedded systems, and other streams.



B Tech Honours

The B Tech (Honours) programme in CSE/ECE is intended to allow bright and motivated students to aim higher, and put in extra, focused academic work in research. Students take three prescribed courses in the chosen stream, and an in-stream summer training at a research center or in industry, and enroll for additional eight projects credits. Besides, students will have to attend a specially designed summer camp where leaders in the field will speak. It is mandatory for the Honours students to do the final-year project in their selected streams. Presently, some of the streams available for Honours students are: AI and NLP, Visual Information Processing, Data Engineering, Communication Engineering, VLSI and Embedded Systems, Security, Algorithms and Computation Theory and Robotics.
