Program Structure

1. The 4-year B.Sc. Computer Science programme has three options,
   1. 3-year UG Degree with major in Computer Science
   2. 4-year UG Degree (Honours), and
   3. 4-year UG Degree (Honours with Research).
2. Students who choose to exit after 3 years shall be awarded UG Degree in Computer Science after the successful completion of the required minimum of Courses of 136 credits.
3. A four-year UG Honours Degree in the Computer Science shall be awarded to those who complete with a specific number of Courses of minimum 180 credits.
4. Honours students can take up a capstone project of 12 credits along with 2 MOOC courses based on the specialization track Data Analytics.
5. In the programmes, the emphasis is on credits rather than a fixed duration, allowing for different lengths/durations of programmes.
6. Students will be offered the opportunity to take breaks during the programme and resume after the break, but the total duration for completing the programme shall not exceed 8 years

Honours with Research

If the student has achieved a minimum of 75% marks in all six semesters of the degree, they are eligible to apply for the honours programme with a research option. The department will publish a ranking of the students based on their academic performance and research aptitude, which will be evaluated using a suitable selection criterion. Out of the total number of students, only 5% are eligible to choose the research option. These students are selected from the previously indicated rank list. Students who aspire to pursue research as a career may opt for honours with research have to take Research courses along with a research project of total 12 credits and 2 MOOC Courses. Students who have chosen the honours with research stream shall do their entire fourth year under the mentorship of a faculty member who shall be a recognized research supervisor.
