This unique B.Tech. in Computer Science (CS) and Social Sciences (SS), aims to develop CS knowledge and expertise in students, with a strong input from relevant social science disciplines. As a 4 year program, the B.Tech. (CSSS) will satisfy the requirements of almost all higher studies programs in India as well as overseas. It may be an ideal program for those students who are not sure if they want to pursue engineering careers and would like to explore the possibility of going for social sciences later but want to be ready to take an CS career if desired.
The program is designed to satisfy the requirements of a B.Tech. (CS) program, as well as the requirements of a BA program in Social Sciences. For the Social Science part, we have designed our program along the lines of a BA (Hon) in SSH program. The B.Tech. in CS and SS program offers core courses, which include foundation courses in social sciences as well. The student is then required to do three streams of 4 courses each with one stream being CS and the other two from different areas of Social Sciences.

(CSEcon)
The Department of Social Sciences and Humanities is excited to announce the launch of a new B. Tech. program in Computer Science and Economics (CSEcon) from Academic Year 2025-2026. The first batch will begin from August 2025 and the curriculum will have a multi-disciplinary focus from courses in Computer Science, Economics, and Mathematics. With its quantitative and computational focus, the B.Tech. CSEcon program bridges the gap between IT and economics, blends economic theory and thinking with practical applications such as auction design for spectrum allocation, dynamic resource allocation for autonomous driving, pricing and information management on platform markets, etc. Through this interdisciplinary training, we aim to equip students with the skills needed for careers in banking, finance, consulting, software technology, and IT services, as well as for a career in academia. B.Tech. CSEcon also presents the students with an opportunity to explore electives and minors in other fields.

A B.Tech. student can earn a minor certification in economics by completing a total of 20 credits from economics courses. Of these, 16 credits must be earned by completing regular courses while the remaining 4 credits may be earned either by completing additional coursework or by completing independent study (IS), undergraduate research (UR) or independent project (IP). The minor program is designed to impart basic training in microeconomics, game theory, and econometrics. Students interested in specific areas of interest for which a formal course is not offered may opt for independent study with individual faculty.
(This course is offered to students of other departments only)

A B.Tech. student can earn a minor certification in entrepreneurship by completing a total of 24 credits from
entrepreneurship courses. Of these, 16 credits should be earned from core courses, 4 credits from elective courses and
the remaining 4 credits from a BTP (details on BTP are provided later in this document). In addition students need to do
a mandatory apprenticeship at a Startup in the Summer term. The minor program is designed to provide students with
a basic training in entrepreneurship and to nudge them towards entrepreneurial ventures and incubation.
