Hi,
I haven't take Computer Science in 12th but I want to do Software Engineering in B.Tech. Kindly tell me is Computer Science necessary for further studying Software Engineering?

B.Tech (Software Engineering) is a four-year Undergraduate degree course in the field of Software. Candidates who have completed 12th standard or equivalent with PCM stream with minimum aggregate of 50% marks from a Government recognised board are eligible to pursue B.Tech (Software Engineering) course.

Admissions in B.Tech (Software Engineering) course are offered through National or State or institute level engineering entrance examinations. You must have to appear and qualify the entrance examination and participate in counselling process to get admission in B.Tech (Software Engineering) course.

It is not necessary to study Computer Science in 12th standard to pursue B.Tech (Software Engineering) course. If you have completed 12th standard with PCM stream from a Government recognised board then, you are eligible to study B.Tech (Software Engineering) course.

In order to appear for B.Tech computer science,there is no need to take computers in your 12th class.you should have to take Mathematics,Physics and chemistry oriented branch and then appear for the Bachelors of technology course through the entrance examination such as EAMCET, JEE, IIT,etc.

B.tech in Computer Science mainly deals with the study of computers and technology and it under goes with the concepts of Programming,design of structures of program,etc.

In order to become a software engineer you should possess B.Tech in computer science or Information technology as in these studies you will be mainly dealing with the concepts of the programming which will be use full in becoming software engineer.
some of the main concepts which you will be learning in your B.Tech are

• Java
• Oracle
• Unix
• PPL
• DBMS
• RDBMS.etc.

These courses will be mostly used in order to become software engineer.so you can take up any mathematics and physics related branches in your 12th and then you will be eligible to appear for software engineering course.

You can go to software engineering field without computer subject at 12th class level.

Eligibility
- You must have passed (10+2) with physics , chemistry and maths as compulsory subjects.
- You should have appeared entrance exam JEE Main.

Skills Required For Software Engineer

No, it is not necessary to take Computer Science subject in 12th standard to do B.Tech in Software Engineering.

Those candidates who have completed 12th standard with PCM with above 50% marks from a recognized board are eligible for B.Tech course in Software Engineering.

Your age should be above 17 years.

# Please note that it is not necessary to study Computer Science in 12th standard to pursue B.Tech (Software Engineering). Only the thing required that candidate has to appear in engineering entrance examinations.

# The duration of B.Tech (Software Engineering) is four years or eight semesters.

# The Required educational qualification is 10+2 in subjects Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from recognised educational board.


# Available job positions after B.Tech (Software Engineering) are:

* Project Manager
* Application Developer
* Software Engineer
* Software Tester
* Teaching line after M.Tech or M.E.
* and many more


# Names of few colleges/institutes offering B.Tech (Software Engineering) are:

* Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
* Birla Institute of Technology
* Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
* Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai
* Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
* Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
* Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur
* National Institute of Technology, Calicut

No, It is not mandatory to choose "Computer Science" subject to do software engineering like Computer Science or IT in B.tech.

You ca choose any five subjects from Science streams, But Marks of English, Maths and Physics will be calculated for admission in B.tech course. If you have not take any one subject out of these three subjects then you will not be allowed for the admission process.

So you will 100% eligible for the Engineering course without having Computer Science subject in 12th Std.

There is no need to take Computer science in 12th to do software engineering in B.tech.
But further computer science is the core subject in software engineering.

If you want to become a software engineer you should pursue your B.Tech either in computer science or in information technology.Both these courses deal with similar concepts like-
*programming languages (C,C++,Java)
*web technologies
*operating system
*data stuctures
