M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar

Most M.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, 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.

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

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to M.Tech programmes at IIT Bhubaneswar as a group.

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

Here is the usual route in:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take GATE and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to IIT Bhubaneswar on its website (www.iitbbs.ac.in) 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.
