B.E CSE (IoT & Cyber Security with Blockchain), undergraduate programme familiarises students with the functional and operational aspects of IoT, Cyber Security and Blockchain Technology.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a pervasive technology that interrelates computing devices, to enable transfer of data over a network, without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Various IoT applications focus on automating different tasks and are trying to empower the inanimate physical objects to act without any human intervention.

Cyber Security is a specialized field in Information Technology (IT) which is regarded as a substream in Computer Science. Cyber Security courses aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to defend the computer operating systems, networks and data from cyber-attacks.

Cyber Security as a profession is evolving over the years, reason being the increasing rate of cyber crimes. Any industry that transacts online or carries sensitive data is in need of a Cyber Security professional to safeguard its date from such delinquents. Cyberspace being a common platform which is accessed anyone from every corner of the world, the scope of cybersecurity is equally spread across the globe.

Blockchain applications go far beyond cryptocurrency and bitcoin. With its ability to create more transparency and fairness while also saving businesses time and money, the technology is impacting a variety of sectors in ways that range from how contracts are enforced to making government work more efficiently.

The demand for people with Blockchain skills is high. Due to its many fields of application, it is looking to hire those who have the skills set to navigate this new technology. Of course, just like with any other fantastic job opportunities, not everyone is cut out for these opportunities.
