How The Program
Is Structured

You’ll spend your first two years at Chitkara University in Chandigarh, building a strong foundation in computer science, programming, systems, and problem-solving.

Then, you’ll continue at Arizona State University in the U.S., where you’ll go deeper into applied learning — from AI and machine learning to cloud computing, cybersecurity, and software engineering.

By the end of four years, you graduate with the skills to step into real-world roles — and the experience to be considered by some of Arizona State University’s top recruiters, including Amazon, Intel, Apple, Deloitte, Boeing, PayPal, Honeywell, and Tesla.

Years 1 & 2: Begin at Chitkara University

Right after Class 12, you start with two focused years at Chitkara University in Chandigarh, where you build a foundation in computer science through hands-on learning and individual guidance.

The curriculum covers programming, systems design, algorithms, and data structures — designed to help you understand how real engineering problems are solved.

This foundation prepares you for the next phase at Arizona State University in the U.S., where you deepen your skills, gain real-world exposure, and train for roles in today’s fast-moving tech industry.

Be One of Just 25 Students Selected from India

With a cohort limited to 25 students, the program is built for focus — not scale. You learn in a close-knit environment, where every student has access to one-on-one support, individual mentorship, and deeper engagement with the material.

Small batch size isn’t just about attention. It’s about depth — more time with faculty, more room to grow, and more clarity as you move through each phase of your training.

Go from Foundation to Mastery — With a Curriculum That Trains for the Real World

Most degrees teach theory. Few show you how to use it. This program is built differently — starting with the fundamentals, and moving toward the tools, systems, and thinking required in real-world engineering roles.

You don’t just graduate knowing what the concepts mean. You leave knowing how to apply them — with the clarity and skill to move forward in a fast-changing tech industry.

Starting with foundational concepts and advancing to more complex topics, it ensures you graduate equipped with the skills and confidence to succeed in today’s fast-evolving tech landscape.

Years 3 & 4: Train at Arizona State University in the U.S.

In your final two years, you transfer to Arizona State University — ranked #2 for employability among U.S. public universities (2025).

Here, you move into advanced coursework: software engineering, AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud systems, and more.

You work with experienced faculty, access industry-grade tools, and apply what you learn in real time — not just in theory.

These two years are designed to sharpen your thinking, expand your skill set, and prepare you for roles where precision, systems, and problem-solving matter.
