PU B.Tech (Cyber Security) FAQs
Ques. Is JEE Main mandatory for admission to B.Tech Cyber Security at Poornima University?
Ans. JEE Main is the primary basis for admission through the REAP 2026 counselling process, which is the state-level admission process for Rajasthan engineering colleges. However, Poornima University also offers direct admission based on 12th-grade marks for students who have not appeared for JEE Main or have a lower score. For scholarship purposes, a JEE Main percentile of 75 or above is required to avail the JEE score-based scholarship. Students are advised to apply through both REAP and the direct admission route to maximise their chances.
Ques. What is the actual total fee for B.Tech Cyber Security at Poornima University, and are there any hidden charges?
Ans. The annual programme fee is INR 2,10,000, which includes tuition fee (INR 1,44,375), development fee (INR 48,125), and administrative fee (INR 17,500). Over four years, the total programme fee comes to INR 8,40,000. Additionally, a one-time non-refundable registration fee of INR 1,500 is charged at the time of admission, and an alumni and convocation fee of INR 2,500 is payable in the final year. Hostel fees are separate and range from INR 1,05,000 to INR 1,45,000 per year depending on the room type chosen.
Ques. What scholarship can I get if I scored 82% in 12th and belong to the general category?
Ans. If you scored 82% in 12th (between 75% and 84.99%), you are eligible for the Shanti Education Society (SES) Scholarship. Under Category 1, you would receive 25% off the tuition fee; under Category 2, 15%; and under Category 3, 5%. The scholarship category is determined at the time of admission and cannot be changed later. This means your annual tuition fee of INR 1,44,375 could be reduced by INR 36,094 (25%), INR 21,656 (15%), or INR 7,219 (5%) depending on the category assigned. Scholarship continuation in subsequent years depends on maintaining a clean academic record with no backlogs.
Ques. Does Poornima University offer placements specifically for B.Tech Cyber Security students, and what kind of companies recruit?
Ans. Poornima University has a dedicated Training and Placement (T&P) Cell that conducts campus recruitment drives across all engineering branches including Cyber Security. As per the official placement data, the highest package for 2024-25 was INR 13.13 LPA and the average package was INR 4.01 LPA across all B.Tech programmes. Cyber Security graduates are typically recruited for roles such as Cybersecurity Analyst, SOC Analyst, Ethical Hacker, and Security Consultant. The university also has mandatory semester-long internships built into the curriculum, which often serve as a pathway to pre-placement offers.
Ques. Can a student from outside Rajasthan apply for B.Tech Cyber Security at Poornima University?
Ans. Yes, students from outside Rajasthan can apply for B.Tech Cyber Security at Poornima University. While REAP counselling gives priority to Rajasthan domicile candidates for state quota seats, Poornima University as a private university also has management quota seats available for students from other states through direct admission. Students from outside Rajasthan can apply directly through the university's official website (poornima.edu.in) without going through REAP. The fee structure and scholarship eligibility remain the same for all Indian students regardless of their home state.
Ques. What is the difference between B.Tech Cyber Security and B.Tech CSE (AI and Cyber Security) at Poornima University, and which is better?
Ans. Poornima University offers two related but distinct programmes: B.Tech in Cyber Security (pure specialisation focused on network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, and digital forensics) and B.Tech in CSE (AI and Cyber Security) (a combined programme integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cyber security). The annual fee for both programmes is the same at INR 2,10,000. If your primary interest is in security operations, penetration testing, and cyber defence, the pure Cyber Security programme is more focused. If you want a broader skill set combining AI/ML with security, the CSE (AI and Cyber Security) programme offers more versatility. Both programmes have similar career outcomes but the AI-integrated programme may offer slightly wider job opportunities in the current market.
