SGT University Gurgaon B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering - Cyber Security: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. It is a specialization within the B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering program. The degree awarded is B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Cyber Security from SGT University. The first two years cover core CSE subjects common to all specializations, while the specialization-specific subjects (Ethical Hacking, Cryptography, Network Security, Digital Forensics, etc.) are introduced from the third semester onwards. This structure ensures students have a strong foundational base in computer science before diving into cybersecurity.

Ans. The general B.Tech CSE program is priced at INR 2,50,000 per year, while B.Tech CSE with any specialization (including Cyber Security) is priced at INR 3,00,000 per year. This means the Cyber Security specialization costs INR 50,000 more per year, totalling an additional INR 2,00,000 over the 4-year program. The higher fee reflects the additional resources, specialized labs, and industry-specific curriculum involved in the specialization.

Ans. JEE Main is not mandatory for admission to SGT University. The admission process is primarily merit-based on your Class 12 performance. However, candidates who have appeared in JEE Main are given preference during the selection process. If you have a good JEE Main score, it strengthens your application. You can also apply directly through the university's admissions portal without a JEE Main score, and admission will be based on your 10+2 marks and the Personal Interview.

Ans. Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing fields globally, with India facing a significant shortage of skilled professionals. After completing this program, graduates can work as Cyber Security Analysts, Ethical Hackers, Network Security Engineers, Digital Forensic Experts, Penetration Testers, and Security Consultants. Freshers from reputed universities typically earn between INR 4-10 LPA, while experienced professionals can earn INR 10-25+ LPA. Top hiring companies include TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, IBM, Accenture, Deloitte, and government agencies like CERT-In and NIC.

Ans. Yes, the Cyber Security specialization curriculum at SGT University is designed to prepare students for globally recognized certifications. Students can pursue certifications such as CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) by EC-Council, CompTIA Security+, CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), and Cisco's CCNA Security alongside their degree. The university's dedicated cybersecurity labs and industry training sessions provide the practical foundation needed to clear these certification exams. Having these certifications alongside a B.Tech degree significantly enhances placement prospects.

Ans. Yes, unlike the B.Tech CSE (AI and Future Technologies) program, the standard merit-based scholarship IS applicable for B.Tech CSE (Cyber Security).
