The first and most popular computer science career path for Computer Science Engineers is a Software Developer. As a Software Developer, one would primarily be writing and creating software for different purposes. Besides creating, Software Developers will also help maintain existing software and networks through updates and repairs.
Within this profile, there are many more profiles that one can work at depending on the sub-specialization and job responsibilities. For this office-based job, one needs a bachelor's degree in computer science. Knowledge of languages like C++, Python, Java, HTML, and Javascript is also necessary. On average one can earn around INR 5,45,404 in this role.1
Full Stack Developers are developers who take care of both the back end and front end of web development. Here, the back end refers to the server-side work where the functionality of the website is designed. Then there is the front end where the design end of websites or the part that users interact with.
This is an all-rounded role that requires knowledge of both graphic designs along with the coding. For the coding or back-end, Full Stack Developers need to know PHP, Ruby, HTTP, SOAP, etc. Full Stack Developers work in teams and must know how to effectively work with other people. They must also be confident and accountable to earn an average pay of INR 6,71,339 LPA.
The third way to develop a successful career in computer science is to become a Web Developer. The basic responsibility of a Web Developer is the same as that of a Full Stack Developer but only for the back-end. Web developers create the backbone or the coding part for websites. Along with the creation, the web developer will also maintain the website.
Specific aspects of the website like speed, capacity and traffic are under the control of the Web Developer. In some cases, the Web Developer will also write up the content to fill the website. Besides coding knowledge, these developers must also be able to work with clients and identify their needs. Most employers offer INR 3,38,194 LPA to their Web Developers.
Per the name, this Computer Science Engineering job is all about data. In a simplified form, Data Scientists will collect, clean up and analyse the data to find patterns. Any information that is found through the data, is put together in the form a report that is used for further decision-making.
Data Scientists require a lot of statistics and mathematics knowledge along with the coding of software like SAS. All companies generate a lot of data every day. To be able to find value in this data is a skill much needed today and as such Data Scientists are high in demand. Presently, Data Scientists receive average salaries of INR 8,73,906 LPA.
The Computer Science engineering courses offered at most universities give students the necessary skills to work as a Network Engineer. This is a support role in the IT department of companies that works with network infrastructures. Network Engineers can build up entire network structures from scratch and come up with ways to make existing networks resilient and better. These professionals will work not only with LANs but also MANs, WANs and other networks. Any issues in the network are addressed to the Network Engineer who will then work on removing it. For this role, one must have strong interpersonal skills and be attentive to small details. Without skills and experience, the average Network Engineer earns around INR 3,57,383 LPA.
Today everyone and everything is on the internet. With this comes an element of danger through people who look for vulnerabilities to exploit and steal sensitive information. This created a new job role in Computer Science Engineering, Cyber Security Specialists. This expert will analyse an organization’s system to look for areas that can be exploited and then go about securing it. They must also keep on top of learning about the latest threat and risks to come up with ways to finding out cures for them. Computer Science Engineers with a bachelor's degree can earn a certification in Cyber Security to work in this role. Once employed, they will earn around INR 5,86,832 LPA.
A more fun job profile to work at with a B.Tech computer science and engineering degree is that of a Game Developer. Gaming companies need a programmer to make the visuals and graphics of the game come to life. Specifically, these individuals create the coding and algorithms of games. Game Developers are quite high in demand today. For the ideal candidate, employers look for both technical skills and creative abilities. The individual must also have an inherent liking and passion for video games to thrive in the industry. Game Developers or Video Game Programmers can expect to work with INR 4,06,946 LPA average salaries.
Besides job roles, many individuals look for higher education. After a B.Tech or B.E. degree in Computer Science Engineering, the next obvious choice is an M.Tech or M.E. in the same concentration. Most engineering colleges offer both undergraduate and postgraduate versions of CSE. This is a two-year-long programme that requires a qualifying score in GATE to get admission. Chosen candidates also have to attend a counselling round before they can take admission. The syllabus for M.Tech in CSE is similar to the B.Tech version but more advanced and more sub-specialisations.
Most students who complete their master's degrees in Computer Science Engineering often also continue their education. The highest degree in India is a doctorate or a PhD degree. Colleges and universities now have combined both master's and research degrees to offer a dual degree. This degree can help students save time and earn two degrees at graduation. Graduates become eligible to work in research and development or as professors at higher education institutes.
