Course Structure

PREAMBLE

With an objective to prepare learned and skilled professionals for SAARC countries having strong conceptual and practical backgrounds, B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) programme of four years duration is offered. The total number of seats in the programme is 90. The grade requirement for promotion to next semester as well as for the award of the degree, repetition of a course, extra semester to clear backlog etc. are as per university regulations/byelaws.

The University follows a unique up-to-date curriculum with the aim of equipping students with strong analytical and technical skills as well as thorough knowledge of and expertise in the latest state-of-the art techniques in Computer Science and Engineering as well as in the interdisciplinary disciplines so that they can work competently in diverse areas including industry, teaching and research and development. Besides having a good mix of theoretical and lab-oriented computer science courses together with a reasonable amount of training/learning in the interdisciplinary domains, the B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) programme has a project component which also provides an opportunity to students to work on practical problems.

MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

A student must have passed the Class 12 or Higher Secondary or any equivalent qualifying examination in Science stream (having Mathematics and Physics/Chemistry as mandatory subjects) with a minimum of 65% marks in aggregate based on education board recognized by any of the SAARC nations.

SELECTION PROCESS

The following admission process is adopted:

Route 1: Merit list based on JEE Main (conducted by IITs) scores.
Route 2: Merit list based on entrance examination conducted by SAU.
