The faculty of Computer Science and Engineering was established offering the undergraduate degree named B.Sc. (Engineering) in Computer Science and Engineering. Later, to fulfil the growing demands of the country as well as the whole world, it also started to offer another two degrees.The names of the three undergraduate degrees are as follows:
Bachelor of Science (Engineering) in Computer Science and Engineering (B.Sc. (Engineering) in CSE)
Bachelor of Science (Engineering) in Electronics and Communication Engineering (B.Sc. (Engineering) in ECE)
To conduct theacademic activities of the degrees, the faculty consists of the following three departments:
Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE)
Duration and Structure of the Degree Program
Each Bachelor degree has a total duration of 4 (four) academic years. An academic year is called a Level. Each of the academic year (starts from January) or Level has 2 (two) semesters. So, a student has to complete a total number of 8 (eight) semesters to get the degree certificate within 7(seven) consecutive academic years starting from the academic year of first enrollment.
The 4 (four) Levels of Bachelor degree is written in the following English numeric format; Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4.

Recess before final examination (Preparatory Leave) |
2 weeks |
Semester final examination |
2 weeks |
Publication of result |

Course Pattern and Credit Structure
The entire undergraduate program of all degrees is a combination of a set of theoretical and sessional courses (practical or laboratory work), project and thesis work. These are assessed by several assessment processes;quiz (class test), assignment, written test, project work, presentation, report writing, viva voce, and project orthesis defense etc. The medium of instruction of this university is English.
Course Identification
Each course is associated with several things:Course Code for course identification,Course Title for course name and Credit Hour(s)that indicatesthe total number of class for a course, total marks and other associated things.Each Course Code consists of 3 (three) letters followed by 3 (three) digits. The letters form the short name of department conductsthe course.The first oneof the three digits indicates the Level (year) and the rest two digits are used for the serial number of the concerned course for that department. The odd and even code numbers specify that the course is a Theoretical course and Sessional course respectively.For example, the course code, CSE 135 demonstrates thatthe course isconducted be the department of CSE (Computer Science and Engineering),this course is for the students of Level1 with serial number 35 and this is a theoretical course.
Credit or Credit Hours
Each course has a specifiedCredit(or Credit Hour(s)) that has to be earned by the students. One credit is equal to 50 marks. So, a course of 3 Credits has total marks.
For each theoretical course, there is 1 (one)lecture/class per week for 1 (one)credit. The duration of a lecture/class hour 50 (fifty) minutes in length. For example, for a course of 3 (three) credits, three are 3 (three) lectures/classes per week and the total number of lectures/classes is 42 (forty two) in a semester.
For each sessional course, a course with 0.75 credit requires 3 (three)hours of sessional class in every 2 (two) weeks and a course with 1.5 credits require 3(three) hours of sessional class per week.
Distribution of Marks
The distribution of total marks for a course is as follows:
Assessment Criteria |
Percentage of Marks |
Class Participation/Attendance |
10% |
Quiz Test |
10% |
Mid Semester Examination |
20% |
Final Examination |
60% |
Total |
100% |
For example, for a 3 (three) credit course the total marks is 150. From that, 15 marks (10% of 150) is assigned for class participation/Attendance, 15 marks (10% of 150) for quiz test, 30 marks (20% of 150) for mid semester examination and the rest 90 marks (60% of 150) is assigned for final examination.
Students must earn minimum of 60% percent class participation/attendance marks to take part in the semester final examination.
The total number of quiz tests for a course is equal to the credit of that course or next non-fractional number of the credit. For example, for a 3 (three) credit course, there are 3 (three)quiz tests and for a 1.5 credit course, there are 2 (two) quiz tests. There is minimum 2 (two) quiz tests in each sessional course. For example, for a 0.75 credit sessional course,total number of quiz tests is 2 (two).
For mid semester examination, students attend written examinations fortheoretical courses.For a sessional course, there are laboratory work, project work and viva etc.
For semester final examination, students sit for a written examination for each theoretical course having 2 (Two) Sections:Section A and Section B. The course teacher evaluates Section A and SectionBis be evaluated by the external examiner(s).For the sessional course, there may have laboratory work, project work, group work, presentation and viva etc. which also is evaluated by a group of examiners’ consisting of the internal and the external members.
