B.Tech. in Computer Science and Information Technology at PDM University

PDM University offers B.Tech. in Computer Science and Information Technology as a 4-year undergraduate degree. There are 60 seats in each batch. The total fee on record is ₹2.76 lakh, which works out to about ₹69,000 a year.

Expect to spend most of your time on programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering, with a steady diet of lab work and projects.

PDM University is a other institute, founded in 1995. This page brings together what is on record for this course at PDM University — 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 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 PDM University 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 PDM University before you pay anything.

To get into B.Tech. in Computer Science and Information Technology, 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 PDM University are: X: 0.0, XII: 55.0, 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 PDM University'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 PDM University 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.

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in programming? You will spend 4 years on it.
• Can you manage ₹2.76 lakh over the course, plus hostel and living costs? Ask about scholarships and education loans.
• What do recent graduates of this course actually go on to do?
• How does PDM University compare with other colleges offering B.Tech?
