Specialized electives of faculty research interest are offered as electives. The course work develops scientific and mathematical approach to computing. Students can also specialize in one of the three streams, namely "High Performance Computing","Systems" & "Security" based on courses taken and the dissertation in these areas.

M.Tech. (Artificial Intelligence)
This programme is meant for students already well equipped in computing sciences and imparts advanced training in all the major areas of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, such as Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Human Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, Computational Intelligence etc.

M.Tech. (Information Technology)
This programme offers specialization in Banking Technology and Information Security and aims at imparting in-depth knowledge and state-of- art expertise to the students through innovative learning supported by high calibre research and technology leadership to create a pool of responsible and resourceful IT professionals, in particular, for the banking and finance sector. This course is offered in collaboration with IDRBT, an RBI institute.
