2-Year M.Tech. in Information & Communication Technology

List of Courses:

The students are expected to take a minimum of eight courses, apart from certain prerequisites. Out of the eight courses, at least two courses must be core courses and remaining six as electives (extended over first two semesters). The core courses have to be decided as per the student’s background as advised by the faculty. It is expected that students in Computer Science & Engineering/ IT background will take core courses in CT, and vice-versa.

Bridge Course 1 for ECE students Semester 1

Data Structures and Algorithms

This course is a discussion of the fundamental data structures and algorithms in computer science. The data structures covered include linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, heaps, hash tables, and graphs. Algorithms for a number of problems are covered including sorting, searching, shortest path, spanning tree. The course will concentrate on mathematical analysis of algorithm efficiency and touch on issues of tractability such as NP-completeness.

Pre-requisite: programming experience in C, some knowledge of pointers and recursion, and background in discrete math.

Bridge Course II for ECE students (Semester 1)

Computer Networking

Course Outline

The course explains the evolution of computer and communication networks and the design principles of modern network architectures. Primary focus is on system level concepts and engineering design and implementation issues. Technologies like B-ISDN, mobile network, and IPv6 are also analyzed. Network management and interoperability issues are discussed.  

At the end of the course, a student should be able to analyze and compare network technologies and use the appropriate tools to design and implement network systems.

The associated laboratory component is designed to expose students to basic networking hardware and the simulation tools for the analysis of traffic and network protocols.
