Largest approved intakes for this branch

Ranked by sanctioned seats in this one branch. Capacity, not quality — a large intake says nothing about how good a college is.

Where this branch leads

Computing

Computer Science and Engineering

Designs, builds, and maintains software systems, applications, and computing infrastructure — one of the most in-demand engineering branches in India given the scale of the IT/software industry.

Where these numbers come from

Every figure on this page is a sum over AICTE’s own approved-course register for 2024-2025 — one row per programme AICTE approved at one institution. Nothing is estimated, weighted or scored.

Spellings counted as this branch

Institutions write the same course several ways. These were grouped together; genuinely different courses, including named specialisations, were not.
