With an average salary of Rs. 7.0 LPA, UI/UX Designer is a well-paid job profile. These professionals design the interface of websites, mobile apps, and other software. The market size of UI/UX design is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.01 per cent from 2021 to 2031 [Source: Business Research Insights].

There are various degrees available to become a UI/UX designer in India, such as a BDes in UI/UX Design, a BTech in Computer Science, and a BTech in IT. After obtaining these degrees, many individuals also pursue specialised offline or online UI/UX courses. However, to integrate the study of computer science with UI/UX design, some private colleges now offer a specialised B.Tech CSE UI and UX.

Before going forward, let us first understand what is UI/UX Design and how to become a UI/UX Designer.

What is UI/UX Design?

The full form of UI and UX Design is the User Interface and User Experience. After knowing UI and UX full form, you have got an idea of what this is all about. If not, there is nothing to worry about, the article is long and will answer all your questions, including how to become a UI UX designer.

UI/UX design is a field that focuses on creating user-friendly and visually appealing digital products. It includes working on the Interactive Elements, Visual Design, User Research, Aesthetic Appeal, and Functionality of the product (website or application).

Now, you have a basic understanding of user experience and user interface design. Let us come back to the main topic of the articles- What is B.Tech CSE UI and UX?

What is B.Tech CSE UI and UX?

B.Tech in CSE and UI/UX Design is a newly introduced engineering degree. As a specialisation of B.Tech, its duration is the same as that of a regular B.Tech, which is four years. The eligibility criteria are also similar, requiring candidates to have completed their 12th class with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) subjects.

One question that can come to your mind is, what makes this degree special? The answer lies in the curriculum you will study over these four years. The B.Tech in CSE with UI/UX Design curriculum covers both Computer Science Engineering and User Interface/User Experience Design.

This dual focus allows you to enter specialised roles such as a UI/UX designer or pursue careers in computer science fields like software engineering, data science, AI, and more. We will list some career opportunities in this article that you can pursue after B.Tech CSE UI and UX.
