Program Overview
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) embodies the convergence of Computer and Communication systems and has obtained wide acceptance as a distinct discipline. ICT is considered to be a discipline dealing with accessing, storage, processing, transmission, reception and display of information, primarily using digital systems and techniques. The curriculum in the B.Tech (ICT) program tries to address the optimized convergence of existing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) as well as Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) disciplines by identifying the broad areas of performance capabilities. It is also expected that B.Tech (ICT) graduates would enjoy a special niche only if they have certain performance capabilities not found in conventional CSE and/or ECE graduates. For details of the program click here.Computational Science is concerned with constructing mathematical models, simulating and quantitative analysis techniques, and using computers to analyze and solve scientific problems with applications in engineering and social sciences. In Computational Science, unlike the traditional theoretical and experimental approaches, scientists and engineers gain understanding mainly through the analysis of mathematical models implemented on computers. Typically, these models require massive amounts of calculations and are often executed on high performance computing backbone consisting of supercomputers or distributed computing or several inter-connected clusters of workstations and personal computers. The curriculum in B Tech (Honours in ICT with minor in Computational Science) aims to provide expertise to the students in techniques involved in modelling and simulation of complex and large scale systems, implementation on computers through parallel and high performance computing techniques and finally analysis and visualization of these large scale data sets. Further details of the program are available here
To complete the Computational Science Program successfully, the students have to take additional 18-24 credits worth of courses besides the usual ICT courses. The student must obtain a minimum CPI of 6.5 after completion of third Semester to continue in the program failing which she/he will be moved to the B.Tech (ICT) Program. The students enrolled in the B.Tech (Computational Science) Program can also apply for transfer to B.Tech (ICT) Program prior to the commencement of classes in any semester after completion of the third Semester. The students who have obtained a CPI of 7.5 and above may apply at the end of the third Semester for transfer to the B.Tech (Computational Science) Program and the transfer will be granted only subject to availability of seats and in descending order from the highest CPI obtained.

Annual Fee for B.E / B.Tech Engineering Programs in IITs hike from Rs 90,000 to Rs 2,00,000
Studying at the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is going to cost much more from the coming academic session as the Central government has decided to double the fee.
The annual tuition fees for undergraduate courses will be increased from Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 2 lakh. However, there will be a total fee waiver for the differently abled and students belonging to the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and weaker sections.
“A decision to hike the fee over two-fold has been taken by the HRD Ministry following a proposal by an IIT panel,” a senior official of the Human Resource Development Ministry said.
The IITs are the most- sought-after institutes in India for engineering, as per the government of India's National Institute Ranking Framework.
In the recently released government rankings, they have bagged all top 10 spots for engineering, with the IIT-Madras standing first.
The tuition fee was last revised in 2013 under the UPA government from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 80,000. In 2008, the fee was increased from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000.
The IIT panel, headed by IIT-Roorkee Chairman Ashok Misra, met last month and approved a proposal for a three-fold increase in fee from the present Rs. 90,000 to Rs. three lakh from the next academic session. However, the final decision was taken by HRD Minister Smriti Irani, who chairs the IIT Council, the highest decision-making body with the representatives of 16 of the total 23 IITs.
The panel also approved that the students belonging to families whose annual income is less than Rs. 1 lakh will be able to get full fee waiver, along with those belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes and the differently abled.
The benefit will not only be limited to these categories. The students belonging to families with an annual income less than Rs. five lakh will be entitled to a waiver of two-thirds of the tuition fee, irrespective of their category. The rest of the students who do not fall under any of these categories will be helped with loans to fund their education, the officials said.
While the students already enrolled will continue to pay their fee as per the old slabs, the new structure will be applicable to fresh enrolments.
