The department is relatively new, hosting around 60 students and 13-14 teachers. While some faculty members are accessible and supportive, others may not always complete portions or attend classes regularly. The course is structured into 8 semesters with multiple internals, projects, assignments, and lab work. Placement opportunities differ by branch, with core branches seeing average results and branches like CSE and ISE having better prospects. Students can partake in campus placements from the 6th semester, and paid internships start from the 4th and 5th semesters.
Top companies such as Accenture, Cognizant, Amazon, Flipkart, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, and HCL are regular visitors for recruitment, with approximately 600 offers made last year. The highest salary offered was 42 LPA, with an average salary of 6 LPA. Around 90% of IT branch students and 70% of core branch students secure placements. High internship rates are observed, though often without stipends. Off-campus internships in companies like Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon offer stipends between 5,000 and 20,000 INR.
Faculty support is available for internships and projects, and placements are expected to improve. The fee structure varies, with COMEDK students paying around Rs 2.5 to Rs 2.61 lakhs annually, including specific fees, while KCET students pay Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.1 lakh, with potential increases. Scholarships are available for KCET students from Karnataka, through options like SSP, Pratibha Puraskar, and INSPIRE Scholarships, but not for COMEDK students. Education loans and additional scholarships for women and economically disadvantaged individuals are available to provide financial support.
Students typically secure permanent jobs by the end of the 7th semester.
