CSE - IoT & Cyber / Academic Programs

Programs Offered

The Department of CSE (IoT, Cyber Security & Blockchain Technology) — CIC — offers a four-year JNTUK-affiliated B.Tech program with a sanctioned intake of 60 seats. The program was launched in 2022 to address the rapid convergence of connected devices, applied cybersecurity and decentralized systems. The curriculum couples a strong CS core — algorithms, data structures, OS, networks, databases — with deep specialization tracks in IoT Systems, Cyber Security, Blockchain Technology and Edge & Smart Computing.

B.Tech — CSE (IoT, Cyber Security & Blockchain)

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) describe the career and professional accomplishments that our B.Tech CIC graduates are expected to achieve within a few years of graduation. They guide our curriculum, lab design and industry engagement.

  • Graduates will apply strong foundations in Computer Science, IoT, Cyber Security and Blockchain Technology to design and operate secure, connected and decentralized systems.
  • Graduates will analyse and solve real-world problems in smart cities, critical infrastructure and digital trust using modern engineering tools and ethical practices.
  • Graduates will engage in lifelong learning, professional certification and entrepreneurship to thrive in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity and Web3 landscape.

Program Outcomes (POs) define the knowledge, skills and attributes our students acquire by graduation. They are aligned with NBA / NEP guidelines and reflect the expectations of modern technology and security employers.

  • Engineering Knowledge: Apply mathematics, computing fundamentals and security principles to solve complex engineering problems in IoT, cybersecurity and blockchain.
  • Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate and analyse computing and security problems using algorithmic, cryptographic and data-driven reasoning.
  • Design & Development: Design embedded, networked and distributed systems that meet specified requirements with attention to performance, security and trust.
  • Investigation: Use research methods including threat modelling, experimentation and data analysis to derive valid conclusions.
  • Modern Tools: Apply modern tools — packet analysers, SIEM platforms, embedded SDKs, Ethereum / Hyperledger toolchains — with an understanding of their limitations.
  • Engineer & Society: Assess societal, legal and cultural issues relevant to digital privacy, surveillance and decentralized governance.
  • Sustainability: Build connected systems that consider energy efficiency, lifecycle security and long-term maintainability.
  • Ethics: Practise professional ethics including responsible disclosure, data privacy and secure-by-design engineering.
  • Teamwork: Function effectively as members and leaders of diverse, cross-functional engineering and security teams.
  • Communication: Communicate clearly in writing, code reviews, threat reports and presentations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Project Management: Apply engineering and management principles to plan, execute and deliver IoT, security and blockchain projects on time.
  • Lifelong Learning: Engage in continuous self-learning to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats and protocols.

The Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs) reflect the unique technical capabilities developed by our B.Tech CIC graduates through specialised electives, labs and project work.

  • Design, prototype and deploy end-to-end IoT solutions — from sensors and embedded firmware to cloud back-ends and dashboards — for domains such as smart cities, agriculture and healthcare.
  • Apply applied cryptography, network security and blockchain techniques to build secure, auditable and decentralized digital systems including smart contracts and DApps.

A 4-year, 8-semester JNTUK-affiliated B.Tech with a mix of core, professional elective and open elective courses, capped by a full-semester industry internship and capstone project.

  • Year 1: Engineering Mathematics, Programming in C, Python, Engineering Physics & Chemistry, Communicative English.
