Programme Overview
The Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering is MIT's largest and most competitive programme. It follows the AKTU outcome-based curriculum, extended with department electives that we revise every year in consultation with our recruiting partners — which is why topics like containerisation, MLOps and system design entered the syllabus before they appeared in the university model curriculum.
The structure is deliberate. The first year builds mathematical and programming fundamentals for a cohort that mostly arrives from Hindi-medium schooling. Years two and three go deep into the core — data structures, operating systems, databases, networks, theory of computation. The fourth year is largely project and industry work: a six-month internship, a capstone build, and electives chosen by specialisation track.
Every CSE student graduates having shipped at least three working systems — a mini-project, a capstone and one internship deliverable — not just a folder of lab records.
