B.Tech syllabus, subject by subject

Unit-wise syllabus for every core subject, plus the part the syllabus does not tell you: what actually carries the marks, and the mistake most people make. Written for Indian university curricula.

All branches First year (all branches) CSE CSE — AI & Data Science CSE — Cyber Security

All years Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

16 subjects

Data Structures

Arrays to graphs — the subject every technical interview is quietly about.

Year 2 · Sem 3 · CS201

Discrete Mathematics

Logic, sets, relations, graphs and counting — the mathematics of computer science.

Year 2 · Sem 3 · CS205

Object-Oriented Programming

Classes, inheritance and polymorphism, usually taught in C++ or Java.

Year 2 · Sem 3 · CS202

Computer Organisation and Architecture

How instructions actually execute — datapath, pipelines, cache and memory hierarchy.

Year 2 · Sem 4 · CS203

Database Management Systems

ER models, SQL, normalisation and transactions — the most directly employable subject in the degree.

Year 2 · Sem 4 · CS204

Operating Systems

Processes, scheduling, memory and deadlock — where theory meets the machine.

Year 2 · Sem 4 · CS301

Computer Networks

The OSI and TCP/IP stacks, routing, and how the internet actually moves a packet.

Year 3 · Sem 5 · CS303

Design and Analysis of Algorithms

Divide and conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, and the beginning of complexity theory.

Year 3 · Sem 5 · CS302

Theory of Computation

Automata, grammars, Turing machines and the limits of what can be computed.

Year 3 · Sem 5 · CS304

Compiler Design

Lexical analysis to code generation — how source text becomes something a machine runs.

Year 3 · Sem 6 · CS306

Machine Learning

Supervised and unsupervised learning, from linear regression to ensembles.

Year 3 · Sem 6 · CS308

Software Engineering

Process models, requirements, design, testing — the subject that is easy to pass and worth actually learning.

Year 3 · Sem 6 · CS305

Web Technologies

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and server-side basics — the most immediately usable subject you will study.

Year 3 · Sem 6 · CS307

Big Data Analytics

Hadoop, MapReduce and Spark — processing data that does not fit on one machine.

Year 4 · Sem 7 · CS402

Cloud Computing

Virtualisation, service models and the economics of not owning servers.

Year 4 · Sem 7 · CS401

Distributed Systems

Clocks, consensus and replication — why distributed computing is hard on purpose.

Year 4 · Sem 7 · CS403

Reading a syllabus is not the same as building something

These pages tell you what your course covers and where the marks are. They will not teach you to finish a project, which is the thing that actually goes on a CV — and the thing almost nobody does without a deadline.
