Course Plan

BSCSE Curriculum

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering primarily involves the study of a number of core courses which every CSE graduate should know and a significant number of courses from specialized areas. Core courses build the foundation and specialized courses prepare the students for the specific areas of Computer Science and Engineering. To understand the underpinning theory of the courses of Computer Science and Engineering, a number of courses on Mathematics and Basic Science have been felt mandatory to include in the syllabus. In addition some social science, management, accounting, economics and communication-skills development related courses have been incorporated to make the syllabus a balanced and reasonably complete one. The objective of the undergraduate program in Computer Science and Engineering is to develop skilled and competent graduates to meet the current and future needs at home and abroad.

Admission Requirements

Every applicant, without any exception, must fulfill the admission requirements as laid down by the university. Admission test and interview for admission into a trimester will be held as decided by the university.

A higher secondary certificate or its equivalent in science with mathematics and physics or other fields of study is the basic educational requirement.

Degree Requirements

The B.Sc. in CSE degree requirements will be as follows:

  • Completion of 137.0 credit hours
  • Completion of the final year design project with at least a `C’ grade
  • Passing of all courses individually and maintaining a minimum CGPA of 2.0

A specialization will be declared in one of the following areas if at least three courses are completed from the elective courses: theory, communication, hardware, systems, software, data science and ICT.
