FAQs

 
Computer Science Computer Engineering
Computer Science (CS) is a field of science that emphasises on researching data structure & algorithms, database theory, theory of computation, operating systems, and different programming languages. The objective is to solve software issues and develop software solutions or to design software products. CS also focuses on ways to improve the performance of existing software and computer systems. Computer scientists study and conduct experiments in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), computer vision & virtual reality, and cybersecurity to develop new computing techniques and algorithms. Computer scientists are generally more interested in the analysis and manipulation of data, software application development, database systems, artificial intelligence, and computational theory.   Computer Engineering on the other hand, prioritises computer design and development. If you enjoy building computers, learning about hardware, or designing interfaces, you might prefer computer engineering to computer science. If you find yourself fascinated by computing theory and data analysis, a graduate or undergraduate degree in Computer Science might be the better option. Although computer engineers may also write software and handle data, the field of Computer Engineering is generally more focused on the development of physical computing components, circuitry, electronics, robotics, and embedded systems. Computer Engineering focuses on solving problems and designing hardware and software interfaces. Computer Engineers can be responsible for the development and prototyping of software and hardware simultaneously. Computer engineers conduct research on computer hardware and test computer hardware elements like processors, circuit boards, routers, write and assess software programs for digital devices and computers, design and test robots.   NU offers BTech in Computer Science and Engineering.
B Tech (4 years) is a better option than BCA (3 years). BCA or Bachelor of Computer Applications imparts knowledge about computer applications whereas BTech trains students in the latest in cutting-edge technology.

B Tech students are eligible to enrol directly into PhD , but BCA students need to complete MSc or MCA and to become eligible for enrolment into PhD.
