The course specializes in the discipline of network support, foundational mathematical skills, algorithmic principles and computer science theories applied in the modelling and design of computer-based systems. The program is designed to equip students with proficiency in a range of types of computer networks, technologies, and programming in computer systems.

Computer Network Engineering

Computer Network Engineering aims to train students with adequate leadership skills, technical strengths oriented towards innovation and communication, and collaboration skills to function in the essentially technical field of Computer Network Engineering. Students are equipped with the necessary skills in contemporary networking theory and problem- solving skills based on sustainable and inclusive technology for real-life applications.

The course provides a structured environment to develop your critical understanding of modern theories along with practical expertise and relevant technologies and applications in a wide range of context. It is beneficial for those who wish to equip a successful career in network support or programming. 

How to Join

One who wants to join Computer Network Engineering should pass the qualifying examination with an aggregate score of 55% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. After completing the same, the student has to appear for the Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE - Main) to get admission into one of the top colleges or universities in India.

Most of the engineering colleges in India offer admission to students based on the JEE Main examination. It is a national level entrance examination done by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India.

Graduate Aptitude Test (GATE) is the national level entrance examination for admission to postgraduate courses by the IITs and IISc in India. Admission to these institutions is offered based on the score secured in GATE by the candidate.

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the national level apex authority responsible for the regulation and control of all engineering colleges and courses available in India. AICTE is the statutory authority responsible for proper planning and coordination on the development of the technical education system in India.

Career Prospects
