Software and Application Development Track
Software and Application Development track is a detailed study of engineering to the design,
development and maintenance of software and application. This track provides comprehensive
training for the students to ensure that the application is built consistently, correctly, on time and
on budget and within requirements. The demand of software and application development also
emerged to cater to the immense rate of change in user requirements and environment on which
application is supposed to be working. It also will expose the students how to develop software
and application using leading industry development platforms and tools. Students will study core
units in programming and project management and will be trained by active industry professionals
and be given the option to design a software and application that can commercialise and meet
industrial specifications.
