Program of Study
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (B.Sc. in CSE) is a four-year program designed to give students a solid foundation in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. A student must earn 156.00credits from a wide range of courses provided by the University in order to earn a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering degree in an internationally recognized engineering fraternity. This degree will be made significant contributions to the global betterment of lifestyle.
CSE curriculum integrates not just computational knowledge with applied engineering, but also other related subjects of study, including the humanities, accountancy, presentation skills, creativity, teamwork, and business and management abilities. In present-day industries, these abilities are seen as absolutely necessary for an engineer to tackle the challenges of real-world situations. In the majority of circumstances, a career in engineering entails a complex network of interconnected factors. An engineer operating in a real-world environment must be vigilant, proactive, and aware of all the surrounding situations. Therefore, education in CSE might be considered an example of a well-rounded education.
