Honours in Blockchain Technology

Computer Engineering | B.Tech (Comp)

Considering the significant opportunities for employment and innovation in this field, it is an appropriate time to introduce an Honours Programme in Blockchain Technology. The programme is designed to equip students with both theoretical foundations and practical skills required to design, develop, deploy, and manage blockchain-based applications and infrastructures.
The programme covers multiple blockchain development technologies, including smart contract development on platforms such as Ethereum, blockchain programming using Rust commonly used in ecosystems like Solana and Polkadot, and enterprise blockchain development using Hyperledger Fabric. The curriculum integrates modern blockchain development tools, decentralized application (DApp) development, Web3 technologies, and BlockchainOps practices, enabling students to gain hands-on experience in building and managing blockchain networks.
