Who it's for

Built for professionals who can't hit pause

Designed for diploma holders and graduates already in a technical role — the format, the entry routes and the schedule all assume you have a job to keep.

Diploma holders

3-year Engineering diploma graduates (any branch) converting hands-on skill into a full degree.

Working IT professionals

Developers, support and ops engineers who want the credential their role demands.

B.Sc / B.Voc graduates

Science and vocational graduates moving into core software and engineering roles.

Career switchers

Professionals from allied sectors formalising a move into computer science.

A degree that counts

A B.Tech (CSE) from HRIT University — the same award, built around your working week.

Keep earning

Stay employed throughout. No career break, no lost income, no relocation.

Lateral entry

Direct admission to the second year — your diploma/degree credits carry over.

Four specialisations

Choose CSE, AI & ML, Data Science or Cyber Security with a mandatory industry project.

Specialisations

Choose your specialisation

A common core in semesters 3–4, then a focused specialisation through semesters 5–8, finishing with a mandatory industry project.

Computer Science & Engineering

Software engineering & testing, design & analysis of algorithms, computer networks, compiler design and web technologies.

Artificial Intelligence & ML

Machine learning, text & web intelligence and intelligent systems built on a strong computer-science core.

Data Science

Machine learning & data mining, big data analytics and the technologies behind data-driven engineering.

Cyber Security

Network security & cryptography, digital forensics and incident response.

How it works

Study without leaving your job

The whole format is engineered around a full-time job. You attend when you're free, catch up when you're not, and never have to choose between your degree and your paycheck.

Weekend & evening classes

Live sessions scheduled around the working week, so weekdays stay yours.

Blended learning

Online theory through the week, focused on-campus and lab sessions when it matters.

Recorded & self-paced

Miss a live class? Catch the recording and learn at your own pace.

Mentor support

Faculty mentors and a peer cohort of fellow professionals keep you on track.
