Top 10 non- IITs offering computer science engineering

Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is an extremely creative and at the same time challenging field to work in. This is primarily because being from this background, professionals are expected to work on tasks which involve building web (based) applications, providing security for information, developing systems which help to process scientific data as well as writing and developing software for the latest devices which can be mobiles, laptops, tablets etc.

Computers are a part of everything we do. The computer field drives innovation in many fields such as medicine, education, business, communication, and entertainment.

Thus, computer science engineers help you by developing new more advanced technology which ultimately helps to make our life smooth and more comfortable.

Computer science engineers are always in demand and tech giants such as TCS, Infosys, Apple and Samsung are known to hire top notch CS engineers.

So, in continuation to our series of top 7 IITs offering computer science engineering, Shiksha now brings you the list of top 10 non-IITs which offer CSE programme.
