The college offers four different bee branches and each one has an intake of 60 students. You've got computer science and engineering, that's CS. Then there's electronics and communication or EC. And of course, mechanical engineering, which is ME. But here's something that stands out. They also offer a specialization in computer science and engineering with a focus on cyber security.
