ABES Courses 2027-28: B.Tech, BCA, MCA, M.Tech Seats and Fees

B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering at ABES

The course most people mean when they say "ABES". Half of all B.Tech seats, and NBA till December 2028.

Eight semesters of the core computing stuff: programming, data structures and algorithms, databases, operating systems, computer networks and software engineering. Under autonomy, ABES now shapes more of this syllabus itself, so the electives in third and fourth year are worth asking about before you join. That's where the course starts to look different from what every other college teaches.

900 seats is a huge batch. On the plus side, recruiters build their visits around CSE. Microsoft, Adobe, Atlassian, Google, Amazon and Cisco are all on the college's list, and the services firms like TCS, Infosys, Accenture and Cognizant hire in bulk. On the minus side, you're competing with 899 classmates for every one of those drives, so CGPA and coding practice decide who even gets to sit the test.

CSE is the only computing branch at ABES with NBA. AI-ML and Data Science don't have it. For most private-sector jobs nobody checks, but some government jobs, higher-study routes abroad and a few employers do care. If you're unsure which CSE to pick, this one keeps every door open.

Most graduates end up as software developers, systems engineers, testers or in cloud and support roles. The typical first salary at ABES, going by the college's own median, is around ₹4.5 lakh. The 89 offers above ₹10 LPA in the latest snapshot mostly go to CSE students who started DSA practice in second year, not final year.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 900
• Fee: ₹1,81,200 on the published table
• NBA: accredited up to December 2028
• Entry: JEE Main / UPTAC or direct admission

B.Tech CSE (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning)

CSE with machine learning and AI on top. 360 seats, the second-biggest branch at ABES.

For the first two years, honestly, you'll hardly notice a difference from plain CSE. Same programming, same maths, same data structures. The AI part shows up later through subjects on machine learning, data-driven models and intelligent systems, and through your projects. If you're not going to put in the extra work on those projects, the specialisation doesn't buy you much.

It's the branch students usually pick when plain CSE closes before their rank. That's fine, it's a perfectly good branch. Just know that it doesn't carry NBA, and the fee is exactly the same as CSE.

Placement-wise, software companies usually let all three CSE branches sit for the same drives, so you're in the same pool as CSE. Where AI-ML can help is in interviews for data and ML roles, but only if you can show something you've actually built, like a model on a real dataset or a small app using one.

Typical roles: software developer, AI and ML engineering support, automation, data-oriented roles. ML engineer jobs straight out of a B.Tech are fewer than the brochures suggest, so keep software development as your fallback skill.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 360
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• NBA: not listed

B.Tech CSE (Data Science)

Programming plus a lot more statistics and data work. 180 seats.

Data Science leans further into maths than plain CSE. Statistics, databases, data processing, analytics and visualisation take up a good chunk of the later semesters. If 12th-class maths was your weakest subject, think about that honestly before you put this above CSE in your choice list.

The department deserves a mention here. It publishes batch-wise placement data for three batches, 2020-24, 2021-25 and 2022-26. Most colleges don't do that for a single branch. Just note the 2022-26 figure is still running, so it'll change.

Graduates usually go into data analyst, business intelligence or junior data engineering jobs. Those roles exist in most big services firms and analytics companies, and the starting pay is broadly similar to software roles.

No NBA. Same ₹1,81,200 fee as every other B.Tech branch.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 180
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• NBA: not listed

B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering

Circuits, chips, signals and communication. 180 seats, NBA till June 2028.

ECE covers electronic circuits, digital systems, communication networks, embedded systems and signal processing. It's harder than it looks from outside, especially the signals and electromagnetics part, and it suits students who actually like knowing how the hardware works.

What we like about ECE at ABES is that the department is honest about its numbers. Its 2025 page shows 88 students placed, 121 offers, 101 companies visiting, 66.67% placement and a top offer of ₹7.65 LPA. Read that last number next to the ₹45 LPA on the college homepage. Same college, very different picture, and the ECE one is the one that applies to you if you join ECE.

ECE students can sit for IT company drives too, and a lot of them end up in software jobs. That's normal. If you want core electronics, embedded or telecom work, you'll need to push for it with projects and internships.

ECE also has a 6-seat M.Tech and a 30-seat Working Professional version, so the department isn't small in what it runs, even if the B.Tech batch is.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 180
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• NBA: accredited up to June 2028

B.Tech Electrical and Computer Engineering

Half electrical, half computing. 120 seats, and a branch name you won't see at many colleges.

The idea is to combine electrical and electronic systems with computing. How much of each you actually get depends on the department's syllabus, and since the name isn't common, we'd really ask for the four-year subject list before choosing it.

The department page names recruiters like Vodafone, TCS, Indus Tower, Capgemini, Accenture, Cognizant and EXL. That's a mix of telecom, infrastructure and IT services. The college itself warns that department snapshots cover different years, so check the year before you compare its placement percentage with anything else.

No NBA for this branch. Usually easier to get than the CSE branches in counselling, which is why a lot of students land here. That's not a bad thing if you're genuinely curious about both electrical systems and programming.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 120
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• NBA: not listed

B.Tech Mechanical Engineering

Machines, materials, design and manufacturing. Only 60 seats, but it has NBA till June 2028.

You study engineering mechanics, materials, manufacturing, thermal sciences and machine design, with workshop time built in. It's a proper core branch, and students who enjoy it usually enjoy it a lot.

60 seats is the smallest batch at ABES by far. Less competition inside the branch is nice. Fewer core companies willing to travel for 60 students is the trade-off. We'd ask the department straight out how many of last year's offers were real mechanical jobs and how many were IT services.

One genuinely good sign: the Mechanical department reported a company paying a full year's tuition for two of its third-year students under a merit programme. That tells you some industry links exist here.

Typical roles include design, production, quality, maintenance and operations. If you like Mechanical but want options later, learning CAD tools and a bit of programming alongside will help a lot.

• Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
• Seats: 60
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• NBA: accredited up to June 2028

B.Tech Lateral Entry (Second Year)

Got a diploma, or a B.Sc. with Maths? You can join straight into second year and finish in three.

The main route is for diploma holders: an engineering diploma with 45%, or 40% for SC and ST. The listed exam is CUET (UG), followed by separate lateral-entry counselling.

B.Sc. graduates can apply too, with 45% and Maths in 12th. But here's the catch: diploma holders are seated first, and B.Sc. students only get what's left. Some years that's plenty. Some years it's very little.

Your branch depends on which seats are still vacant after the first-year rounds, so you may not get your first choice. And a few diploma fields are excluded altogether, so read the notice before you apply.

• Duration: 3 years
• Seats: depends on vacancies
• Fee: ₹1,81,200 on the published table
• Entry: CUET (UG) and lateral-entry counselling

B.Tech Working Professional (CSE and ECE)

A B.Tech for people who already have a job. 30 seats in CSE, 30 in ECE.

This isn't regular B.Tech with evening classes. The college says clearly that you shouldn't assume the usual rules or a full-time timetable apply. So before anything else, find out when classes run, which earlier qualifications count, and how much work experience you need.

The fee is set out in a slightly confusing way. The table says "grand total ₹1,19,880", and then lists ₹3,100 for paperwork, ₹5,000 deposit and ₹9,600 for exams separately underneath. Add it all up and you get ₹1,37,580. Get one final number in writing.

The good part: you can pay ₹9,990 a month for 12 months, which makes sense if it's coming out of your salary.

• Seats: 30 in CSE, 30 in ECE
• Fee: ₹1,19,880 plus separately listed charges
• Instalments: ₹9,990 a month
• Entry: programme-specific process

Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA)

Programming, databases and web stuff, without the heavy engineering maths. 120 seats, cheapest course at ABES.

BCA covers programming basics, databases, web and software concepts and IT systems. It suits students who want to work in software but either didn't take PCM or don't want a four-year engineering degree.

The fee is ₹1,66,200. The ₹15,000 difference from B.Tech is entirely tuition, ₹95,000 against ₹1,10,000. Everything else is the same, including the ₹36,000 career planning charge, so it's fair to ask whether BCA students get the same placement training for it.

Two gaps we couldn't fill from the college's site: how many years BCA runs here, and any BCA placement numbers at all. Get both from the BCA notice or the department before you commit.

Most BCA students who want better jobs go on to an MCA. ABES has 180 MCA seats, and its MCA department has the best published placement numbers in the college.

• Seats: 120
• Fee: ₹1,66,200
• Entry: CUET (UG)
• Duration: confirm in the BCA notice

Master of Computer Applications (MCA)

Two years of serious software work. 180 seats, and quietly the best placement record ABES publishes.

MCA goes deeper into software development, programming, databases and systems, with a big chunk of project work. It's open to a wider crowd than people think: BCA, B.Sc. CS or IT, B.Tech CSE or IT, and also any other graduate who did Maths in 12th or in college. You need 50%, or 45% for SC and ST, and the exam is CUET (PG).

Now the numbers. The MCA department's 2025 snapshot shows 140 students placed, 182 offers, 113 companies, 77.78% placement and a top offer of ₹12.93 LPA. That's better than ECE's 66.67% the same year, and it's the strongest department data on the whole ABES site.

There may also be a stipend of ₹7,000 in year one and ₹8,000 in year two for some non-GATE students admitted directly. The college doesn't say whether MCA students qualify, or only M.Tech, so ask.

If you're a BCA or B.Sc. graduate comparing MCA options in NCR, put these numbers next to the other college's. Most won't have anything this specific to show you.

• Duration: 2 years
• Seats: 180
• Fee: ₹1,81,200
• Entry: CUET (PG)
