TRIBHUVAN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY * * * * * * MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (COURSE OF STUDY) * * * * * EFFECTIVE FROM ACADEMIC YEAR – 2071/2072 Tribhuvan University Institute of Science and Technology Course of Study Master of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (M.Sc. CSIT) 2014 Prepared by Computer Science Subject Committee Introduction: The Master of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (M.Sc. CSIT) curriculum is designed by closely following the courses practiced in accredited international universities, subject to the condition that the intake students are mostly from Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (B.Sc. CSIT) program of Tribhuvan University (TU) . In addition to the standard core and elective Computer Science and Information Technology courses, the program offers several courses that provide knowledge for both research and development in computer science and information technology areas. The foundation and core courses are designed to meet the graduate program requirement, and the service courses are designed to meet the need of fast changing computer technology and application. Students enrolled in the graduate program are required to take courses in design and implementation of computer software systems, foundation in the theoretical model of computer science, and a functional background of computer hardware. All graduate students are required to complete at least 57 credit hours and they may complete maximum of 63 credit hours. Institute of Science and Technology (IOST) is running this program since 2001. The previous curriculum was designed by focusing the curriculum of B.Sc. Computer Science (3-years) program of TU and after the introduction of B.Sc.CSIT (4-years) program in TU, this program has been redesigned specially focusing the B.Sc.CSIT (4-years) cirriculum. Objective: The main objective of M.Sc. CSIT is to provide students depth knowledge and skill research and development areas in computer science and information technology including design, theory, programming and application of computers. Admission Requirement: The student entering the M.Sc. CSIT Program must have completed B.Sc. CSIT degree offered by TU or its equivalent. Prospective students can apply for admission by submitting a completed form as required by the general rule of the university. The students for admission are selected based on the scores in the entrance test conducted by the admitting college. The program also admits students having Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree Computer, Electronics and Communication, and Electrical.
