B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) at Faculty of Engineering and Technology

Faculty of Engineering and Technology offers B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) as a 4-year undergraduate degree. Fees for the full course come to ₹6.8 lakh (roughly ₹1.7 lakh a year).

Expect to spend most of your time on turning raw data into decisions: statistics, Python and SQL, data cleaning, visualisation and machine learning.

Faculty of Engineering and Technology is a private institute, founded in 1997. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Faculty of Engineering and Technology — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means turning raw data into decisions: statistics, Python and SQL, data cleaning, visualisation and machine learning. Typical first jobs: data analyst, data scientist, business analyst or analytics consultant. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Faculty of Engineering and Technology for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with Faculty of Engineering and Technology before you pay anything.

To get into B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science), you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at Faculty of Engineering and Technology are: X: 0.0, XII: 60.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check Faculty of Engineering and Technology's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to Faculty of Engineering and Technology or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.
