What is “Computer Science with Blockchain”?

• It is generally a Computer Science / Engineering degree (B.Tech / B.E) with a specialization or elective focus on blockchain, distributed ledger technologies, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, etc.

• Students learn core computer science subjects (data structures, algorithms, operating systems, databases) plus blockchain-specific topics (cryptography, consensus algorithms, smart contract development, decentralized applications, Web3, security).

• The aim is to produce graduates who can design, build, and maintain blockchain systems, integrate them with existing applications, and innovate in domains like finance, supply chain, identity, IoT, etc.

Computer Science with Blockchain Duration & Structure

• Typically, 4 years (8 semesters) for an undergraduate engineering degree in India.

• The first 1–2 years often cover core engineering and computer science fundamentals, and then specialization / blockchain electives appear in later years.

• Some institutions might offer integrated master’s or dual degree options combining CS + blockchain research.

• Some also offer PG / certification / diploma courses in blockchain, but here we focus on full-degree variants.

Computer Science with Blockchain Eligibility Criteria

Common eligibility requirements (in Indian context) include:

• 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognized board (e.g. CBSE, State Board, ISC)

• Required subjects: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry / Computer Science / Electronics (PCM stream)

• Minimum aggregate marks: usually 50% – 60% (may vary)

• Some colleges also require entrance exams (national, state or university-level)

• For reserved categories, relaxations may apply

Computer Science with Blockchain Admission Process

Typical steps:

1. Entrance Exams: JEE Main, or state-level engineering exams (e.g., UPSEE, etc.), or university’s own test (SUAT, etc.).

   • Sharda uses SUAT / JEE / state rank.

2. Application / Counseling: Filling forms, choosing colleges, allotment of seat as per merit / rank.

3. Document Verification & Seat Acceptance

4. Fee Payment / Confirmation

5. Seat Allotment Rounds / Spot Round (if any)

Computer Science with Blockchain Fees & Institute

Scholarships / Financial Assistance

• Many colleges offer merit-based scholarships (for high class 12 / entrance exam performance)

• Some offer fee waiver / concession for top performers

• Government / state scholarships (for reserved categories)

• Education loans are commonly available

• Some institutions tie scholarship to performance in JEE / entrance exams (e.g., NCU gives scholarship based on class 12 / exam scores)

Computer Science with Blockchain Infrastructure & Labs

To support a blockchain‑specialized curriculum, good institutions often provide:

• Cryptography & security labs

• Blockchain test networks / sandbox / nodes

• Computer clusters / GPU / servers

• IoT labs (if blockchain + IoT integration)

• Network / distributed systems labs

• Project labs and research centers

• Collaboration with industry / blockchain organizations
