Welcome to the Department of Computer Engineering – SFIT, Mumbai

Established in 1999, the Department of Computer Engineering at SFIT began with an intake of 60 students and has steadily grown to accommodate 180 undergraduate students annually. Alongside our B.E. programme, we proudly offer M.E. (since 2012) and Ph.D. (since 2014) programmes aimed at fostering skilled professionals, aspiring entrepreneurs, and early-stage researchers. Each year, around 25% of our students pursue higher education in esteemed institutions across India and abroad, while over 90% are successfully placed in reputed industries. A growing number are also launching their own ventures, reflecting our emphasis on entrepreneurship.

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, our curriculum is dynamic, flexible, and tailored to meet the demands of the digital era. Key subjects include Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Software Development, and a broad set of electives in emerging domains; ensuring a balanced, future-oriented education. The Computer Engineering curriculum at SFIT, Mumbai, reflects the forward-looking vision of NEP 2020, offering students a well-rounded and flexible academic experience. It promotes multidisciplinary learning by integrating subjects from engineering, humanities, management, and entrepreneurship, enabling personal and professional growth. Students benefit from multiple entry and exit options, allowing them to pursue Certificate, Diploma, or Degree pathways depending on their academic progress. Practical, hands-on training is emphasized through internships, live projects, and industry-focused lab sessions to ensure real-world readiness. The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) facilitates seamless credit transfer and accumulation, making academic mobility more accessible. Additionally, students with a keen interest in research can opt for the B.Tech. Honours with Research track. To further support flexible and self-paced learning, the curriculum incorporates credit-earning opportunities via SWAYAM and NPTEL online platforms, ensuring exposure to high-quality educational resources.

At SFIT, we go beyond technical instruction to cultivate ethical values, critical thinking, social awareness, and lifelong learning. Our faculty regularly upskill through prestigious bodies such as AICTE, IITs, NITs, and IEEE. The department is energized by vibrant student engagement, modern labs, and active participation in competitions such as Robocon, e-Yantra, and Smart India Hackathon. Through platforms like CODEX and National & International Professional bodies (CSI, IEEE, ISTE, IETE, IIC etc.) students collaborate, innovate, and sharpen their skills. We believe in empowering individuals to not just adapt but lead in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

Thank you for visiting us. We invite students and parents to engage, explore, and grow with us. Let’s shape a future-ready generation together.
