M. Tech (Software Engineering)

Software Engineering is applying engineering techniques to optimize the development of software. With the rapid adoption of Information Technology, the demand for software development has increased many-fold. A Master’s degree in Software Engineering prepares students to optimize this huge industry. In this two year program, students from basic undergraduate level engineering apply the aspects of software development with a set of best practices that can be used by a variety of industries resulting in simpler, better performing and more usable software.

The Department of Information Technology has started M.Tech in Software Engineering in 2009 with an intake of 18, selected by J N T University by common Entrance Test. The core purpose of M.Tech in Software Engineering is to foster state-of the-art in Software Engineers and to transition this work to the community by producing the best software professionals.

This degree provides students with the theoretical foundations of Software Engineering, experience in team projects involving software development and management, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools, an understanding ofadvanced software development and management techniques, and exposure to the most recent developments.

The M. Tech Software Engineering course covers the following subjects during the first two semesters. A dedicated project work is taken up related to Software Engineering field by every student for the next two semesters.
