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 connected devices end to end: sensors, microcontrollers and embedded programming, wireless networks and the cloud platforms that collect the data. Typical first jobs: IoT developer, embedded systems engineer or solutions 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 Ranchi 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, and apply to B.Tech programmes at IIIT Ranchi as a group.
