Under graduate curriculum for CSE
At IIITG undergraduate education emphasizes a broad academic foundation, development of deep subject-area knowledge, a variety of rich learning experiences inside and outside the classroom, and the cultivation of skills to help students become lifelong learners. With an enduring dedication to the pursuit of excellence, IIIT-G offers unparalleled student experiences across a broad spectrum of academics environment.
The programme is designed to create innovators and researchers. Students are given a strong foundation in CSE that includes electronics and hardware. The B. Tech (CSE) program at IIIT-Guwahati starts with computing oriented courses first, and allows the possibility of doing science courses later. Besides being better suited for an IT program, it also enables the possibility of students seeing newer applications and possibilities of relating IT with these subjects. Curriculum of B. Tech (CSE) has been designed to make the students as industry ready. Hence it includes the CSE courses with a thrust on recent industry requirements such as AI/ML, Data Analytics, Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) etc. There are numerous elective courses floated in CSE, which enables the students to opt for the professional career as per their career goal. There are also a lot of emphasis on cutting-edge research areas, which can enable the students to choose a career in higher studies.
The academic year has been divided in to two semesters namely the MONSOON semester from July – Dec and the WINTER semester from Jan – May. The winter vacation period for students is generally in the month of December and the summer vacation period is from the beginning of May to the third week of July. First year courses are common for both CSE & ECE. This gives flexibility to students for branch change after the first year. After the first year common program, the second year program will be relatively fixed, comprising mostly of core courses for the program. 3rd year onwards the program will be more flexible comprising of electives, which may be organized as streams. There is one HSS course every semester, for a total of eight courses. Courses in Physics (2), Chemistry, and Biology are taught from Semester III onwards.

Post graduate curriculum for CSE
The programme is designed to create innovators and researchers in core areas of computer science. Students are expertized in fields of CSE like computer systems, machine learning, data analytics and data management. The M. Tech CSE curriculum is designed with particular focus on research and development requirements of industry and academia. To make the student industry ready, the curriculum consists of the course with a thrust on recent industry requirements such as AI/ML, Data Analytics, Blockchain, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Internet of Things (IoT) etc. Students can choose from a numerous elective course, floated in CSE, which opens several options for them to advance their career as per their career goals. The M. Tech programme includes a year long thesis work, where a lot of emphasis is given on cutting-edge research areas. This can enable the students to take up R & D assignments in industries or opt for a research position on their completion.
