As per the industry experts, the rising scale of digitization and internet penetration has prompted companies to offer web and mobile-based solutions at an unprecedented scale.

Full-Stack developers are trained to spearhead the entire development (front-end and back-end) of products and applications, especially in product-based companies. Equipped to lead the entire project, Full-Stack developers thus save companies precious time and resources.

In addition, the fact that they can work in small teams and offer end-to-end solution has catapulted their industry demand. As per the Industry reports, there has been a 20 per cent growth in the demand for Full-Stack developers in 2018 v/s 2017, with companies shifting preferences to having multi-skilled professionals on-board.

This M-Tech program has been specially designed to cater to the rising demand for Full Stack developers by means of developing graduates who are skilled, competent and industry-ready.

"The two-year M-Tech Program in Computer Science & Engineering with specialization in Full Stack Web Development, offered in collaboration with Virtusa is an outcome of Chitkara University's relentless focus on offering programs closely designed and delivered in conjunction with industry leaders. This ensures that the curriculum is dynamic and tailored to the constantly evolving industry trends, and students get exposure to the industry's best practices during the course of their degree," said Dr Madhu Chitkara, Pro-Chancellor of Chitkara University.
