This program develops the skills that are essential for both computer professionals and IT specialists.
The design and implementation of B.Sc. CSIT course offers new challenges when compared to the traditional computing environment. The recent emergence of global business, new technologies for data processing and data communication / networking environment, equip specialized science graduates to focus on professional careers in Information Technology. The B.Sc. CSIT program provides the students with adequate theoretical and practical knowledge which will enable students to effectively participate in solving the complex problem of the IT industry.

Mission of the B.Sc. CSIT course:

The mission of the B.Sc. CSIT course is to prepare the students to pursue career advancement in the field of information technology. At the completion of this degree, a student will be able to design the real-world e-media products or create technical solutions to hardware and software problems, depending on the chosen area of specialization and electives. However, the main aim of the B.Sc. CSIT program can be enlisted as:
1. To offer intensive knowledge in the theory, design, programming and application of computers.
2. Providing an in-depth understanding of and experience with computer systems.
3. Developing creative and analytical skills that provides a basis for technological problem-solving.
4. Equipping students with the technical knowledge required for an IT professional to handle multi-tasking situations and to assess and develop computer-based solutions.
5. Imparting knowledge of computer and programming logic environment in IT.Knowledge of advanced IT applications in different business sectors.
6. To equip students with the technical knowledge required for an IT professional to handle multi-tasking and multi programming situations and to assess and develop computer-based solutions.
7. To provide necessary knowledge in the field of functional knowledge of hardware system and the and necessary knowledge of computer software system.

COURSE STRUCTURE AND EVALUTATION

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (B.Sc. CSIT) curriculum is designed by closely following the courses practiced in accredited international universities, subject to the condition that the intake students are twelve years of schooling in the science stream or equivalent from any university recognized by Tribhuvan University (TU). In addition to the foundation and core Computer Science and Information Technology courses, the program offers several elective courses to fulfill the demand of high technology applications development. The foundation and core courses are designed to meet the undergraduate academic program requirement, and the service courses are designed to meet the need of fast changing computer technology and application. Students enrolled in the four-year B.Sc. CSIT program are required to take courses in design and implementation of computer software systems, foundation in the theoretical model of computer science, and a functional background of computer hardware. All undergraduate students are required to complete 126 credit hours of computer science course and allied courses.

Objective:

The main objective of B.Sc. CSIT program is to provide students intensive knowledge and skill on different areas of computer science and information technology including design, theory, programming and application of computer system. It is envisaged that graduate of this program will be equipped with necessary knowledge of computer software and hardware system.

Eligibility Condition for Admission:

A student who seeks admission to B.Sc. CSIT program:
1. For grading system:
Should have successfully passed 11 and 12 class in Science stream with minimum full marks 100/100 in Physics and Mathematics respectively and should score final grade ‘C’ in all subjects.

2. For percentage system:
Should have successfully passed 11 and 12 class in Science stream with minimum full marks 100/100 in Physics and Mathematics respectively and should score minimum of second division.

3. For PCL (I.Sc.) or equivalent: 
Should have successfully passed I.Sc. or equivalent examination with minimum full marks 100/100 in Physics and Mathematics respectively and should score minimum of second division.

4. For A level:
Should have successfully passed A Level in science stream (with full marks 100/100 in Physics and Mathematics respectively) and should score minimum D Grade (With or without small letter).

5. For CTEVT:
Should have successfully passes three years diploma in Engineering with full marks 100/100 in Physics and Mathematics respectively and should score minimum of second division.

7. For International Education Institute or International University:
Should have to submit equivalence letter from Curriculum Development Centre, Sano Thimi, Bhaktapur.
Should have successfully passed the entrance examination conducted by Institute of Science and Technology (IoST), TU securing at least 35% marks.
Complied with all the application procedures.

Course Duration:
The entire course is of eight semesters (four academic years). There is a separate semester examination after the end of each semester.
Hours of Instruction:

Working days: 90 days in a semester
Class hours:
1. 3 credit hours courses with theory and labs is equivalent to 3 lecture hours and 3 lab hours = 6 working hours per week.
2. 3 credit hours theory-only course is equivalent 3 lecture hours and 2 tutorial hours = 5 working hours per week.

Evaluation:
All the courses except project work and internship should have internal weightage of 40% and external weightage of 60%. For the courses having laboratory work, the internal weightage is divided into20% laboratory work and 20% internal assessment. A student should secure minimum of 40% in each category to pass a course. The final grade and grade point in each course will be the sum of overall weightage of all categories. There will be a separate practical examination for the 20% weightage of laboratory work in the presence of an external examiner.
The Project work and Internship are evaluated by different evaluators. To pass Project Work and Internship, students should secure at least 40% marks in the evaluation of each evaluator and the final grade and grade point will be the sum of all the evaluations. For the evaluation of final presentation, an external examiner will be assigned.

Grading System:
The grade awarded to each student in each course is based on his/her overall performance through internal and external evaluations. Several evaluation criteria are used for the continuous internal evaluation. External evaluation is solely based on examination conducted by Institute of Science and Technology (IoST). The grade in each course is assigned using a letter grade that indicates the overall performance of each student in each course. The chart below represents letters with its corresponding grading scale, grade point, and performance remarks.

*Pass refers to acceptable

Final Examination:
Institute of science and technology, Tribhuvan University, will conduct the final examination at the end of each semester for each course except Project Work and Internship. The weightage of this final examination is 60% of the overall weightage.
