Poornima University B.Tech Internet of Things: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The official Poornima University admission portal (admission.poornima.edu.in) continues to list B.Tech CSE (Internet of Things & Blockchain) as an active programme for 2026-27 with a fee of Rs. 1,95,000 per year. However, some third-party education portals have flagged this specialisation as discontinued as of February 2026. Students are strongly advised to directly contact Poornima University at admission@poornima.edu.in or call +91-8875666617 to confirm the current status of this programme before applying or paying any fees.

Ans. The B.Tech CSE (IoT & Blockchain) specialisation goes beyond the standard CSE curriculum by adding dedicated coursework in IoT architecture, embedded systems, sensor networks, smart devices, blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and decentralised applications (DApps). The regular B.Tech CSE covers core computer science subjects without this specialised focus. The IoT & Blockchain track is suited for students interested in hardware-software integration, smart city technologies, supply chain automation, and blockchain-based security systems. The annual fee for the specialised track is Rs. 1,95,000 versus Rs. 1,75,000 for regular B.Tech CSE.

Ans. Graduates of this programme are prepared for roles such as IoT Solutions Architect, Embedded Systems Engineer, Blockchain Developer, Smart Contract Developer, IoT Security Specialist, and Connected Device Engineer. Industries hiring for these roles include smart manufacturing, healthcare IoT, fintech, supply chain management, smart cities, and automotive technology. With the rapid growth of Industry 4.0 and Web3 technologies, demand for professionals with combined IoT and Blockchain expertise is increasing. Students who additionally earn certifications in AWS IoT, Microsoft Azure IoT, or Hyperledger Fabric significantly improve their employability.

Ans. Yes, Poornima University has state-of-the-art laboratories equipped for IoT and embedded systems work, including hardware platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and various sensor modules. The university also has a GPU lab for intensive research and smart classroom infrastructure. Industry partnerships with companies like Infosys, NASSCOM, and EC-Council support curriculum delivery and provide students with access to real-world tools and platforms. The university regularly organises hackathons, project exhibitions, and industry expert sessions relevant to IoT and emerging technologies.

Ans. JEE Main is not strictly mandatory for direct admission to Poornima University. The university accepts applications based on Class 12 marks as well. However, for Rajasthan domicile students applying through REAP 2026, a JEE Main score is the primary merit criterion. Additionally, a JEE Main score makes students eligible for the JEE score-based scholarship (up to 50% on tuition fee for 90+ percentile). There is no officially published minimum JEE Main score cutoff for this programme; admissions are merit-based and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis for direct applicants.

Ans. Blockchain technology is gaining significant traction in India across sectors including banking and finance (RBI's CBDC project), supply chain management, healthcare records, and government services. The Indian government's push for digital infrastructure and Web3 adoption has created growing demand for blockchain professionals. Combined with IoT, the convergence creates opportunities in smart contracts for automated supply chains, secure healthcare data management, and decentralised energy grids. However, the job market for pure blockchain roles is still maturing in India, and students are advised to complement this specialisation with strong programming skills (Solidity, Python, C++) and cloud certifications to maximise placement prospects.
