By pro-actively managing information security, we can reduce the likelihood and/or the impact on our information systems from a wide range of threats including but not limited to theft and exploitation of information, deliberate and accidental disclosure of information and destruction or corruption of information stored on computers whether deliberate or accidental. The MTech programme in Computer Science and Engineering [Information Security] is envisaged to train graduates in Computer Science and Engineering with the necessary skills to design and develop protocols and techniques to secure information
PEO1: The graduates shall have an in-depth knowledge in the fundamentals of Computing, with the ability and confidence to specialize in topics of interest in Computing
PEO2: The graduates shall have the ability to solve problems and critically analyze solutions in the area of interest in Computing
PEO3: The graduates shall have the skillset for using knowledge in Computing for the benefit of society with sound ethical practices and a lifelong interest in contributing to knowledge in the field
PO1: An ability to independently carry out research /investigation and development work to solve practica problems
PO2: An ability to write and present a substantial technical report/document
