Monday, February 27, 2012

  1. BTech(IT) program name changed to BTech(CSE)
    • The Academic Senate (which includes faculty members from IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore) and the Board of Governors of IIIT-Delhi has approved that the name of the current BTech program be changed from BTech in Information Technology (IT) to BTech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) with immediate effect. Inputs from various stakeholders, including current students, were taken before making this change. The core mandate of IIIT-Delhi is to take forward the state of the art in IT through education and research. So far the primary foci were the computing and the software aspects of IT. The institute is now starting a B.Tech. program in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) to focus also on the communication and the hardware aspects of IT. With the introduction of this separate B.Tech. program, it is necessary to rename B.Tech. in IT to B.Tech. in CSE. The curriculum of the current B.Tech. program is already well aligned to a Computer Science and Engineering program, as all the core computing courses of a typical CSE program are included in the core of current program, and overall computing courses are more than that of a typical CSE program. There is no change in the curriculum and focus of the program, and this change is only a change in name.
