Masters of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (M.Sc.CSIT) is a two-year four-semester program.
The M. Sc. Computer Science and Information Technology curriculum is designed by closely following the courses practiced in accredited international universities, subject to the condition that the intake students are mostly from three years B. Sc. Computer Science program at Tribhuvan University. In addition to the standard core and elective computer science courses, the program offers service courses to meet the need of high technology application.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 course in design and implementation of computer software systems, foundation in the theoretical model of computer science, and functional background of computer hardware. All graduation students are required to complete 40 credit hours of computer science courses.
ObjectiveThe objective of the M. Sc. Computer Science program at Tribhuvan University is to offer intensive course in the design, theory, programming and application of computers. The courses are designed to admit student who have completed B. Sc. (3 years) program of Tribhuvan University or its equivalent.
A degree in B.Sc. in Computer Science; BE-computer, electronics, BTech or curriculum equivalent to bachelor level program in computer science at Tribhuvan University, is required for admission.
Students having master’s degree in Science (Physics, Statistics and Mathematics) and students of four year degree in engineering can also apply for admission provided they have completed pre-requisite courses needed to enroll in the first year course of M.Sc.CSIT program. The selection for admission is based on entrance examination.
M.Sc CSIT Entrance Examination
The weightage of the entrance examination will be 100 full marks, and the duration will be 2 hours. Questions are asked according to the B.Sc CSIT syllabus prescribed by the committee.
The questions will be Objective or Multiple choice questions (MCQs). Each question will carry 1 (one) weightage.
35% marks must be obtained to pass the entrance examination.
The M.Sc. CSIT graduates have a prosperous career opportunity at different government, non-government, private and public organizations, like software companies, telecommunications, computer networking companies etc. especially as a:
Software Developer
Web Developer
Network Administrator
Database Administrator
IT Manager/Officer
Cryptographer
Ergonomics Program Designer
System Analyst
Project Manager
Document Specialist
Information System Auditor
Artificial Intelligence Specialist
Technical Writer
Information System Manager
Database Operator
In addition to conventional lectures, a great deal of practical and project works.
Develops the underlying principles of both Computer Science and Information Technology and shows how these principles can be applied to solve real world problems.
Builds up the skills that are essential for both computer professionals and researchers including IT managers, Systems Analysts, Network Administrator, Computer Programmers, Database Administrator, Web Developers, etc.
