IIIT Una is a public-private institute, founded in 2014. This page brings together what is on record for this course at IIIT Una — 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 keeping systems safe: networks, cryptography, ethical hacking, secure coding and digital forensics. Typical first jobs: security analyst, penetration tester or SOC engineer. 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 IIIT Una for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at IIIT Una as a group.
