Which course can I choose in 2026 : B.TECH CSE(IOT) B.TECH (AIDS) B.TECH CSE(CYBER SECURITY) In SNU CHENNAI Which has high placements and high future scope after 40 - 50 years
Hello there,
Among B.Tech courses at SNU Chennai—CSE (IoT), CSE (AI & Data Science), and CSE (Cyber Security)—here is a comparison based on placements and long-term future scope:
-
B.Tech CSE (Cyber Security):
Cyber security is critical as digital threats grow. Demand for experts will remain strong for decades, making it a stable, high-growth field with good placements. -
B.Tech CSE (AI & Data Science):
AI and data science are rapidly evolving fields with vast applications. This area offers excellent placements and is expected to have strong relevance and growth over the next 40-50 years.
B.Tech CSE (IoT):
IoT is growing with connected devices expanding in homes, industries, and cities. While promising, IoT is often combined with AI and security skills for greater impact.
Summary:
-
For highest future scope and placements, AI & Data Science is currently the most versatile and in-demand.
-
Cyber Security is critical for protecting data and infrastructure and will continue to grow.
-
IoT has good potential but may be more niche and dependent on integration with AI and security.
Choosing AI & Data Science or Cyber Security would provide strong career prospects over decades.

Hello Padmavathi,
When looking at the long-term future scope (40–50 years) and placement opportunities, B. Tech CSE (Cyber Security) is the most future-proof area. Here's why:
- Demand for Cyber Security is never ending – With digital transformation, AI, and IoT evolving, the amount of cyber threats will increase. Every sector known to man - banking, healthcare, defense, etc. - will need long-term protective measures against cyber threats.
- Global Skills Shortage - There is a global skills shortage of well-trained cyber professionals which is likely to ensure good job security and job packages for a time to come.
- Regulations & Compliance - As data privacy laws evolve, the need for cybersecurity expertise across all sectors is not going away.
Comparison:
- AIDS (AI & Data Science): AIDs has high demand currently and in the next 20–30 years, but some of the work/employment could be automated by AI itself in the long run.
- IoT: potential in the future but subject to hardware and niche unless combined with either AI or Cyber.
