introduction

The Bachelor of Computer Science is a degree program under the National Education Policy (NEP) semester pattern for Three / Four years. The overarching aim of the B.Sc. (Honors) Computer Science program is to equip students with a robust foundation in computer science principles, theory, and practical skills necessary for addressing contemporary challenges in the digital era. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and software development methodologies. By fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, the program aims to cultivate students’ capacity to design and implement efficient and innovative solutions to a wide array of computational problems. Through exposure to diverse areas such as Artificial intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Database management, the course seeks to prepare graduates who can adapt to the dynamic landscape of technology, contribute to cutting-edge research, and excel in a variety of roles across industries. The college provides well-furnished smart class rooms and Wi-Fi enabled campus and world class infrastructure facilities for students with well experienced, qualified and dedicated faculty.

Aim of the Program:

The program aims to impart fundamental and hands on knowledge of Computers, Science of Computing and modern science technologies to students. It will be useful for careers in research & development corporate sectors and higher studies in M.Sc. Computer Science. Furthermore, an emphasis on collaborative projects, teamwork, and effective communication skills aims to produce computer science professionals who can thrive in interdisciplinary environments and contribute meaningfully to the evolving field of computing. The program on Computer Science equips students with comprehensive skills on computer systems, hardware, databases, cloud computing, and networks both at the conceptual and application levels. The knowledge gained under this program will be relevant to pursue higher education and for job opportunities in various organizations.

Duration of the Program:

The B.Sc. (Honors) Computer Science. The degree course is for Three / Four years and spread over eight consecutive semesters.
