1. GENERAL STRUCTURE

During the first four semesters, the focus is on fundamental principles and concepts in computing by providing Mathematical Foundation, Basics of Statistics, Accounting, Business communication, Digital principles, Problem solving techniques and algorithmic processes to understand, create, test and transform information. In the next two semesters the focus is on engineering considerations, system design, development and applications.

The first four semesters have one English and one Language in Part I, three core courses and two lab–oriented papers in Part II, one Additional Course such as Ability Enhancement /Interdisciplinary/ Skill Enhancement Course and Value education in Part III. The V and VI semesters have core courses, elective courses, and lab-oriented papers with a mini project and Value Education. Electives are offered in the fifth and sixth semesters to streamline the students based on their area of interest. The project emphasize on complete understanding, analyzing, designing, developing, maintaining primarily business, information systems and on recent trends in computing. The course content is regularly updated to keep pace with IT sector.
