Currently, technical education is at a crossroads. Graduates of computer science are expected to possess not only the fundamental knowledge of computer science but also a natural aptitude for the liberal arts, creative attitude, core values, and understanding of sustainability issues. To assist students to prepare for the future, emerging areas like cyber security, machine learning, cloud computing, IoT, analytics, etc. need to be incorporated into the curriculum. The generation needs "business engineers," a type of engineering talent geared toward Business 4.0. These graduates today need to comprehend the fundamental principles of business management and have the mindset of innovation in addition to understanding future technology.

To meet this increasing demand for technical expertise with knowledge of digital technology, KIT’s College of Engineering(Autonomous), Kolhapur in collaboration with India’s leading Company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is offering a four-year specialized B. Tech programme titled “Computer Science and Business Systems”.
