The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (BSc CSIT) curriculum is designed by closely following the courses practiced in accredited international universities. 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 BSc 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 at least126 credit hours of computer science course and allied courses.

- To provide necessary knowledge in functional knowledge of hardware system and the and necessary knowledge of computer software system.
Career Prospects
What makes our CSIT graduates even more tempting is the career prospect and pay grade that they get with it. In fact, the Future of Jobs Report by the World Economic Forum shows that by 2022, companies are likely to adopt technologies that require definitive qualifications that come with a computer science degree. If that isn’t enough to convince one, Forbes has rated job candidates with computer science degrees as one of the top 5 highest paid jobs. Furthermore, data science, which is a part of computer science degrees, is said to be among the most promising careers in the near future.
Moreover, as a CSIT graduate, one can become a software developer, web developer, database administrator, data analyst, SEO specialist, game developer, to name a few. We are proud of our Alumni, where many of our graduates are nation’s emerging entrepreneurs running their own software companies.
