A new Undergraduate Program in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) has been introduced from the Academic Year 2023-24, duly approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi, with an intake of 60 seats.
Cybersecurity is a critical and rapidly evolving field dedicated to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital systems and data. With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals who can safeguard information assets, secure networks, and defend against cyberattacks.
This specialized program emphasizes the principles of network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and security architecture. It is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to anticipate, prevent, and mitigate cybersecurity risks in diverse sectors, including finance, healthcare, defence, and critical infrastructure.
Additionally, the integration of Blockchain Technology with cybersecurity practices enhances data security by providing immutable, transparent, and verifiable records of transactions. Blockchain’s inherent features of decentralization and encryption further strengthen protection against unauthorized access and data manipulation.
This program prepares graduates to address contemporary cybersecurity challenges and contribute to building secure digital ecosystems for the future.
