Computer Science and Engineering

Faculty of SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Department of Computer Science & Engineering

• Bachelor of Science (Hon’s) in Computer Science & Engineering.

Major: Software Department /Database / Network & communication/ E – commerce.

Admission Requirements

Students passing HSC in the current year or one year ago with minimum GPA 3.00 in SSC and HSC (Science / Diploma in engineering / equivalent) examination having at least `B` ride in physics and Mathematics can apply for the admission to CSE program. Students must have at least `C` grade in English in HSC Examination. Students with grade point 5.00 (in individual for both examinations) will get special priority and financial aid.

Duration of each semester

The duration of each semester will be 18^th weeks whose breakdown is as follows:

Classes 14 weeks

Recess before semester final exam 02 weeks

Semester final exam (approximately) 02 weeks

Total 18 weeks

Assignment of Credits

The assignment of credits to a theoretical course follows a different rule from that of a practical course.

• Theoretical Courses: One lecture of 1hour duration per week per semester is equivalent to 1. 0 credits.
• Practical Courses: One lab session of 3-Hour duration per week per semester is equivalent to 1.5 credits. 1 reedit is equivalent to two hours of lab work per semester per week.
• The project must be initiated in 7^th semester.

The Grading System

The total performance of a Student in a given course is based on a scheme of continuous assessment. For theory courses this continuous assessment is made through a set of quizzes, class evaluation. Class participation, homework, assignment and a semester final examination. The assessment in laboratory practical courses is made through observation of the student at work during the class, viva- voce during laboratory hours and quizzes.

Each course has a certain number of credits, which describes its corresponding weights. A letter grade with a specified number of grade points is awarded to measure both by the number of credits completed satisfactorily and by the weighted average of the grade point earned. A minimum Grade point Average (GPA) is essential for satisfactory progress. A minimum number of earned credits also have to be acquired in order to qualify for the degree. Letter grades and corresponding grade points will be awarded in accordance with the provisions hidden below:

Evaluation System:

Marks range	Grade point	Letter grade
80% and above	4.00	A+
80%  to 75%	3.75	A
80%  to74%	2.003.50	A-
80%  to69%	3.25	B+
80%  to64%	3.00	B
80%  to59%	2.75	B-
80%  to54%	2.50	C+
80%  to49%	2.25	C
80%  to44%	2.00	C-
80%  to 40%	0.00	F

Subject in which the student gets F grades shall not be counted towards credit

hours requirements and for the calculation of Grade point Average (GPA).

Examination Rules

There will be at least two in- course examinations to be conducted by the college/ institutes for each course and marks along with the grade be submitted to the Examination Controller of NU. Semester final examination will be conducted by the National University on six months basis for each semester. Semester final examination of each theoretical course will be held for 3 hours and there will have 6 questions in which 4 questions must answer. Each question carrying 20 Marks should contain two or more parts (e.g.), l (b) ,l( c), Two examiners will evaluate the semester final examination scripts examiner will be appointed to examine the scripts. The marks will be finalized by averaging of minimum variation of two examiners.

Distribution of Marks for Theoretical courses

Twenty percent (20%) of marks of all theoretical courses shall be allotted to two in- course examinations. The answer scripts of in- course examinations are sent to the Controller of Examination of National University if required. The rest of the marks (80%) for each theoretical course will be allotted to the semester Final Examination, Which will be conducted centrally by the National University. There are internal and external examiners for each course’ in the semester Final Examination of three hours duration. Distribution of marks for a given theoretical course is as follows:

In- course examinations

Semester Final examination (3- Hour Duration)

Total Marks

Distribution of Marks for practical courses

The practical semester final examinations have to be conducted by internal and external examiners. Practical final examination that is conducted centrally by the National University will be held on 60 marks for each course. Marks distribution of each practical course is stated below.

In- course examination (practical)

Semester Final Examination (3 hours)

Distribution of 60% practical marks:

Circuit Implementation	20	Coding	20%
Result	15	Result	15%

Evaluation of Project work

Evaluation of the -=project work, for grading will be as follows

1. Project Defense 40% of marks
2. 2. Project Report 60% of marks

A  panel  of  examinee prepared by exam control  appointed by NU , will conduct the project  defense and also examine  the  project  report . The project evaluation can be conducted by one or more centers, selected by authority of NU At least two members for the panel of examinee present for project defense and evaluation.
