The curriculum design of the major in Computer Science and Engineering is in keeping with the multidisciplinary emphasis of the BTech programme as a whole. It combines a rigorous grounding in the field of computer science with added emphasis on the physical and architectural design of modern computer systems. Based on the breadth of the education provided, graduates will be able to design, develop and deploy computing systems across the hardware–software spectrum.
The core courses in Computer Science and Engineering introduce students to themes such as digital electronics, data structures, database management system, computer organisation, computer architecture, algorithm design, operating systems, computer networks, embedded system design, and theory of computing. These courses will enable students to develop expertise as well as widen their competence through exposure to deep research in the areas of data science, cyber physical systems, intelligent systems, and theoretical computer science. Electives will allow students to develop their own area of specialization within the major.
One of the unique aspects of an Ahmedabad engineering education is its Engineering Foundation. The Engineering Foundation is a core that is common to all engineering majors. It comprises courses that cover the foundational knowledge of most engineering disciplines It encompass topics in electrical, computer science, chemical and mechanical engineering, amongst other fields. Besides imparting breadth, these courses will enable students and graduates to work in interdisciplinary teams and provide a robust foundation to becoming a contemporary engineer.
On the completion of the major, students will:

All students will complete 30 hours of engagement with society to develop a sense of engagement, concern, build problem solving skills, and understand the role of an engaged member of a society. This will be done through a mandatory course, Engagement with Society, that would be a graduation requirement. This course can be taken anytime during the stay at the University but it is advised that the student engage with the courses during the first two years at the University. The 30 hours of volunteer work may be completed during one semester or during the Winter or Summer Break.
Note: Most courses have a laboratory/workshop course attached to it to provide hands-on learning. Some courses are exclusively laboratory/project-based courses.
The BxMx Programme (Dual Degree) at Ahmedabad University offers a unique opportunity for students to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in just five years by combining their undergraduate studies with relevant graduate coursework. This flexible programme allows students to explore different academic disciplines and gain a competitive edge in the job market. By enabling students to seamlessly transition from their bachelor's to a master's programme, either within the same or a different school, The BxMx Programme fosters interdisciplinary learning and prepares graduates for a wide range of career paths.
