NOTE:
 1. Registration for MTP-II has a requirement of Min. CGPA 7.5 at the end 3rd sem and B Grade in JCD892. In exceptional cases PEC may waive
the CGPA requirement
2. MTP – II can also be done in a collaborative manner with Industry/University.

In future joint degree programs with other institutes/universities can be considered.

We are proposing M. Tech in Cyber security with 20 seats with additional Full-time/Part-time sponsored
candidates from Industry/Government.The admissions will be done through GATE in CS/EC/MA/EE as
per Institute norms for other interdisciplinary programs.
