CSMU B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering - Data Science: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The B.Tech CSE (Data Science) at CSMU is a specialised variant of the standard B.Tech CSE programme. While the core computer science fundamentals (programming, algorithms, databases, operating systems) remain the same, the Data Science specialisation adds focused modules on statistical analysis, machine learning, big data technologies (Hadoop, Spark), data visualisation, and AI. This makes graduates specifically suited for data-centric roles in addition to general software engineering positions.

Ans. CSMU has industry collaborations with companies like IBM and TCS iON for certain specialised B.Tech programmes. The Data Science specialisation may include industry-relevant tools and technologies in the curriculum. Students should confirm with the admissions office whether this specific specialisation includes any industry certification component, as fees for programmes with industry-partner certifications are higher than the standard fee structure.

Ans. The total course fee for 4 years is INR 7,75,000 (including the one-time non-refundable registration fee of INR 15,000). The annual fee is INR 1,90,000 per year. Hostel accommodation is optional and costs INR 92,000 to INR 1,40,000 per year (mess charges extra). Students are also required to have their own laptops as per the university's prescribed specifications.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as data scientists, data analysts, machine learning engineers, business intelligence analysts, data engineers, and AI developers. Industries hiring data science graduates include banking and finance, e-commerce, healthcare, telecom, and technology companies. Higher studies options include M.Tech in CSE/Data Science, M.Sc. in Data Science, or MBA in Business Analytics.

Ans. The total intake for all B.Tech CSE/IT specialisations combined at CSMU is 900 seats. The Data Science specialisation is one of several options (including AI & ML, Cloud Computing, IoT, Cyber Security, etc.) within this pool. Students are advised to apply early as popular specialisations like Data Science tend to fill up quickly.

Ans. Specialisation changes after admission are subject to the university's internal policies and seat availability. Students are advised to confirm their preferred specialisation at the time of application itself. If you are unsure between specialisations, it is recommended to discuss with the CSMU admissions counsellor before finalising your application, as the curriculum and fee structure may vary between specialisations.
