Program Description

Program: BSc (Honours) In Computer Science and Engineering

Duration of the program: 4 Years/8 Semesters.
Admission Requirements: General Undergraduate Admission guidelines of the Science Unit will be applicable. Some important eligibility criteria are described as follows:
- Candidates having a minimum GPA of 3.50 (including 4th subject) separately in SSC and HSC examinations held in recent designated years from the Science/Agricultural Science branch of any education board of Bangladesh or Alim in Science branch from Madrasa Board or IGCSE/O-level and IAL/GCE/A-level or equivalent foreign degree and a minimum total GPA of 8.0 in these two will be eligible to apply. For IGCSE/O-level and IAL/GCE/A-level and any foreign degree holders, the equivalent grades will be calculated and thus the eligibility will be determined.
- Candidates having a minimum GPA of 3.0 (including 4th subject) separately in SSC and HSC examinations held in recent designated years from the Arts/General or Business Education branches of any education board of Bangladesh and a minimum total GPA of 7.5 in these two will also be eligible to apply. For IGCSE/O-level and IAL/GCE/A-level and any foreign degree holders, the equivalent grades will be calculated and thus the eligibility will be determined.
- In the admission test, the candidate must secure at least 60% marks of the total marks allocated for the Physics and Mathematics parts.
Total class weeks in a Year/semester: 15 weeks/semester including midterm exam; 2 semesters in a year
Teaching hours of theory courses: One theory course credit is defined as conducting one 60 minutes class delivery in a week, spanning 14 weeks in a semester excluding midterm examination. For a 3-credit course, two classes each of 90 minutes are held in a week, i.e., 42 hours of total contact hours per 3-credit course. Similarly, a 2-credit course has 28 hours of teaching, two classes of 60 minutes each week.
Teaching hours of laboratory courses: One laboratory course credit is defined as conducting hands-on work in the lab for 2 hours in a week, spanning 14 weeks in a semester. For a 1.5 credit laboratory course, one class of 3 hours is held in a week, i.e., 42 hours of total contact hours in 14 weeks. Similarly, a 0.75-credit lab course has one class of 3 hours in alternate weeks, and a 1.0-credit lab course has 28 hours of teaching, each class of 2 hours in 14 weeks.
Mid and Final Examinations: 1 week for midterm and 2 to 3 weeks for final examinations.
Preparatory leave: 9-10 days of preparatory leave will be allocated between the last class date of a semester and the starting date of the final examinations.
Total minimum credit requirement to complete the degree program: 150 Credits.
Minimum CGPA requirements for graduation: 2.00, and without ‘F’ grade in any subject.
Maximum academic years of completion: 6 (Six) Years from the date of admission at 1st year 1st semester.
Course Code
- Every course has a unique course code. The letter prefix in any course code indicates the field or the discipline of the course, e.g., CSE stands for Computer Science and Engineering, EEE for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, PHY for Physics, MATH for Mathematics, STAT for Statistic, HUM for arts and humanities, BUS for business, and MIS for management of information system.
- The four digits in the course code have the following meaning:

The first digit corresponds to the year in which the course is offered by the department.
The second digit represents the semester in which the course is offered.
The third and fourth digits are used to specify different theory and lab courses taught in a semester. The last digit is assigned an odd number for theoretical courses and even for laboratory courses.

Category of Courses:

General Education Courses: (Interdisciplinary courses, beyond the discipline/program, that provide a well-rounded learning experience to the students) For example Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, ICT, Basic Science/STEM, other engineering, etc. (as applicable for the disciplined academic program).
