Course Curriculum Overview
I am pursuing Computer Engineering course. This course covers a lot of real world applications as well as makes us placement ready. The course curriculum inlcudes subjects like DSA, OOPS and system design to name a few. I chose this course as I have always had a keen interest in tech and computer science. Knowing how a technology works and working at the absolute core level of it has always fascinated me. Exams are held twice in a semester, Mid sem and End Sem and each sem is of 6 months.

Most companies offer the role of Junior Software Engineer. There are companies that also come for Core branches also like Chemical, Mechanical and Electrical.
