The First Programming Language Every Engineer Should Learn Isn't Python
At Manav Rachna Educational Institutions, this philosophy has shaped the design of its Computer Science Engineering programmes.
Every few months, the technology industry reinvents itself. A breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence changes how software is written. A new framework replaces one that seemed indispensable just a year ago. Entire job roles emerge almost overnight, while others quietly disappear into history.
For Computer Science engineers, change is no longer an occasional disruption. It is the profession. For decades, universities prepared students by teaching them the technologies of the day, confident that those foundations would remain relevant for years. Today, the shelf life of technical knowledge is shrinking. Students beginning an engineering degree today will graduate into a technology landscape that is likely to look very different from the one they entered. This presents an unprecedented challenge for engineering education.
The question, therefore, is no longer simply whether students can write code. It is whether they can think computationally, build intelligent systems, work with Generative AI, analyse data at scale, secure digital ecosystems, design autonomous technologies and, above all, continue learning as technology evolves.
Preparing engineers for that future requires more than updating a syllabus every few years. It requires rethinking how engineering is taught. At Manav Rachna Educational Institutions, this philosophy has shaped the design of its Computer Science Engineering programmes. Rather than treating industry as the destination after graduation, Manav Rachna brings industry into the learning journey itself.
At Manav Rachna International Institute of Research & Studies (A Deemed to be University) and Manav Rachna University (State Private University), B.Tech Computer Science Engineering programmes are co-designed, co-delivered and co-certified with leading technology organisations, ensuring that students learn through curricula informed by the companies building the technologies of tomorrow.
This collaborative approach spans high-growth domains including Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Generative AI, Data Science, Quantum Computing, Cyber Security, Digital Forensics, Robotics & Artificial Intelligence, and Cyber Physical Systems. Through collaborations with organisations such as Microsoft, Google Cloud, HCLTech, Cisco, CDAC, L&T EduTech and Mitsubishi Electric, students gain exposure to contemporary tools, industry practices and emerging technologies while they are still in the classroom.
The learning experience extends well beyond lectures. Industry-led projects, expert mentoring, hands-on laboratories, hackathons and experiential learning opportunities encourage students to solve problems that resemble those encountered in professional technology environments. The objective is not merely to teach students how today's technologies work, but to prepare them to adapt when those technologies inevitably change.
The outcomes reflect the strength of this approach. More than 880 recruiters have hired Manav Rachna graduates over the years, with organisations including Google, Amazon, KPMG, Palo Alto Networks, Commvault, GoDaddy, Headout, Byborg and Capgemini recruiting talent across technology, consulting, and digital innovation.
Graduates have secured placement offers of up to 60 LPA, with several students receiving packages above 50 LPA and many more in the 30–35 LPA range. Among them are Karan Aditya Ghoshal (60 LPA, CSE Core), Sarthak Rastogi (55 LPA, CSE – Data Science & Machine Learning), Ananya Kamra (54 LPA, CSE – Data Science & Machine Learning), Ashwani Soni (51 LPA, CSE Core) and Rhea Chawla (50 LPA, CSE – Digital Transformation Engineering).
Yet ask many of these graduates what prepared them most for their careers, and the answer often goes beyond placements.
"The industry-led curriculum gave me the confidence to work on real-world technologies from the very beginning. By the time I entered the recruitment process, I felt prepared, not just academically, but professionally." — Rhea Chawla, B.Tech CSE (Digital Transformation) | 50 LPA
"Working on industry projects and interacting with experts throughout the programme changed the way I approached problem-solving. It prepared me for the expectations of a global technology workplace."— Sarthak Rastogi, B.Tech CSE (Data Science & Machine Learning) | 55 LPA
Technology will continue to evolve. Artificial Intelligence will become more capable. Programming languages will change. New industries will emerge, while others will be transformed beyond recognition. The real measure of an engineering education, however, is not whether students master today's technologies. It is whether they graduate ready for tomorrow.
That is the philosophy shaping Computer Science Engineering at Manav Rachna. Admissions for Academic Session 2026-27 are open. For more information, visit https://apply.manavrachna.edu.in/
