Program Objectives
The Bachelor of Computer Science combines a solid core of computer science courses as well as an understanding and appreciation for arts, humanities, and social sciences, and their importance in today’s society. This is a 4-year degree program which aims to enable students to apply scientific and engineering methodologies to the analysis of problems and the design, implementation and evaluation of computer-based solutions. At the same instance it attempts to utilize the breadth and depth of theoretical computer science and mathematics to emerging technologies and the ever-changing needs of industry as well as the cutting edge of computer science research.
Eligibility Criteria
FA/FSc or Equivalent qualifications with at least second division, securing 50% marks in aggregate.
The students who have not studied Mathematics at intermediate level must pass deficiency courses of Mathematics of 6 credit hours within one year of their regular studies.
Qualifying the admission test and interview is compulsory. A candidate scoring less than 40% marks in the test and interview will stand disqualified for admission.
Candidates who have secured at least 40% in the Institute’s own test/NTS-NAT or any other test required by HEC are also eligible to apply.
The merit of a candidate shall be measured by a 50 % weight age to the marks obtained in HSSC or equivalent, 40 % to the marks obtained in the written test, and 10% to the marks obtained in the interview.
A candidate shall be given a special credit of thirty marks for admission in each program mentioned above if he/she has studied Computer Science and/or statistics at intermediate level (for BS Data Science program only) at intermediate level or has done A level.
The Hafiz Quran shall be given a special credit of 20 marks.
The credit marks shall be added to the marks obtained at HSSC or equivalent, subject to fulfilment of basic eligibility criteria of 50% marks
Degree Requirements
