The Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Engineering (PGDCE) is a postgraduate level advanced diploma program designed to build up the knowledge and skills in computer engineering concepts and technological development. This diploma program usually takes 1 or 2 years, for engineers who want to extend their knowledge in computer engineering courses including computer networks, database systems, operating systems and programming languages. Some of the subjects offered under computer engineering are advanced computer engineering classes such as digital logic design, computer architecture, data structures and algorithms, OOA&OD, and network security.
Different colleges accept a variety of entrance examinations for a candidate to be admitted into the PGDCE program. Some of the most popular national level exams include GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), CEED (Common Entrance Exam for Design), UGC NET (National Eligibility Test), and other exams conducted by the private institutions like AMIE.
