How VSET teaches Internet of Things

The Internet of Things refers to networks of physical devices with sensing, computing and connectivity capability that exchange data with each other and with backend systems. Building it spans embedded hardware, networking and data platforms. At VSET this maps to a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech Industrial Internet of Things.

  • VSET offers B.Tech Industrial Internet of Things as a dedicated four-year embedded and hardware track, one of its seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes.
  • The programme covers the full stack from sensors and microcontrollers through connectivity to backend data handling.
  • It sits alongside the electronics VLSI track and the CSE-family tracks on the same campus.
  • The syllabus follows the GGSIPU B.Tech scheme with standardised credits and examinations.
  • VIPS-TC, VSET's parent institution, holds NAAC A++ accreditation at the institutional level.

Where USICT stands

University School of Information, Communication & Technology in Dwarka is a GGSIPU constituent (university-run). GGSIPU's strongest overall brand; government/university-run, not a private affiliate. This page does not restate USICT's internal curriculum — check its official site for current programme details.

Private affiliates vs university-run institutes

GGSIPU has two categories of institutions: university-run constituents (USICT Dwarka, USAR East Delhi Campus) and private affiliated colleges. USICT carries the strongest overall GGSIPU brand, but it is a different category with different fee structures and admission dynamics. Comparing private affiliates against each other is the like-for-like comparison for most applicants.

How admission works
