Master of Technology [M.Tech] (Software Engineering) Syllabus, Course Structure and Program Schedule 2025-2026

Course Structure

M.Tech. Software Engineering course is divided into four semesters out of which the first two semesters are a combination of theory classes and practical classes. The third semester is about comprehensive viva and submission of project work.

The mode of teaching in the third semester is only through seminars. The last semester is also based on seminar type mode of teaching and students are required to submit a project work in this semester.
