Science and Engineering

Engineering Minor
• A set of four courses in an engineering stream to develop a
competency within or outside the discipline area (e.g. a Computer
Science Engineering student choosing Cyber Security or Machine
Learning or a Mechanical Engineering student taking courses from
Computer Science Engineering as his/her Engineering Minor Area).

• These Engineering Minors are being offered so that each student

would have at least one major skills by the end of 7th term.
Engineering Minor
• Students are expected to provide the preferences of Engineering Minor
area only once and the set of courses of area allocated would get
registered in pre-defined terms (5th, 6th and 7th).

• Polling for Engineering Minor
can be done through both UMS
Never use UMS through mobile
and LPU touch App browser for polling process as
it may result in change in
1. UMS
preferences

2.LPU Touch App

Note: Link for the UMS pathway and LPU Touch App will be shared with the announcement for Engineering
Minor(s) polling in the near future.
Engineering Minors in School of Computer Science
and Engineering:
1. Cyber Security
2. Data Science
3. Machine Learning
4. MEAN Stack Development (Not for IT students)
5. Software Methodologies and Testing
6. Internet of Things
Cyber Security
Brief Description
Cyber security transform into a frightening new reality, one where
corporate and government organizations seem helpless to stop cyber
incursions that leads to cyber risk. To mitigate the cyber risk we need
knowledge of cryptographic techniques, traffic monitoring and ethical
hacking knowledge for better understanding of security issues to
protect our network.
Total number of seats: 950

Selection Criteria: Based on preference and CGPA

Preferences would be taken from students. If the number of

students who give preference of this Engineering Minor are
more than the number of seats, then CGPA would be
considered for selection criteria. It should be noted that the
CGPA till 3rd Semester only shall be considered while
generating the merit list.
Career Opportunities
• Information Security Analyst
• Penetration Tester
• Cyber Security Consultant
• Malware Analyst
• Cyber Threat Management
• Cyber Intelligent Analyst
• Can also work as freelancer to provide the security services.
