IEC University is a other institute, founded in 2012. This page brings together what is on record for this course at IEC University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Voc 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 programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects. Typical first jobs: software developer, full-stack engineer, QA engineer or systems analyst. 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 IEC University for the current semester-wise plan.
