BS Software Engineering

Program Description

The main focus of this program is to prepare students in the practical aspects of software development and related activities. A significant amount of time is spent on system analysis, design, implementation, quality, and tasks related to project management. The program provides a unique hands-on practical exposure to our students by involving them in real software projects being developed by a specially designed “Teaching Software House” engaged in the development of real projects for real clients. The program is different from the computer science program as it is tilted slightly towards the practical side, which gives a better ability to handle market requirements; whereas, the computer science program is more focused on the theoretical aspects.

Career Prospects

Graduates of this program are offered lucrative career prospects in diverse professional fields, including software development as well as project management in the local and global software industry. A large number of students end up setting up their own software houses or are self-employed and are developing software and providing services to global clients as freelancers. This degree is exceptionally suitable for females in our socio-economic structure where a female can very efficiently work from home as a freelancer for international projects and, at the same time, fulfill her domestic responsibilities.
