Graduate programs of Computer Science & Engineering

M.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering:

 

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering offers Masters of Science (M.Sc.) and  Masters of Engineering (M.Engg.) degree program for prospective graduate students.

The Master of Engineering is designed for students who pursue to join the engineering profession following graduation to head start a career. This accelerated program is designed to develop professional engineering leaders of the future who can integrate economically, and social values of technology to cope with the challenges of 21st Century.

Guideline: Academic Requirements and Academic Regulations:

The minimum duration of the M. Sc. Engg. / M. Engg. Course shall normally span over three semesters (six months each). A candidate pursues for the Master’s degree must fulfill all the requirements for the degree within the duration of maximum five academic years (session) from the date of the first admission in the respective program.

Academic progress shall be ensured regarding credit hours achieved by a student. One credit hour subject shall normally be equivalent to one hour long of class presence per week for the semester concerned. The one credit hour of thesis/project/laboratory should ensure three hours of work per week for the concerned semester. The syllabus should precisely specify the number of credit hours for each subject.

The university will create opportunities for the  full-time students and part-time students. Students, serving in different organizations, maybe admitted as part-time students with written consent of the employer. A part-time student may be assigned a maximum of 9 credit hours of course including thesis/project work in any semester.

Full-time students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours and a maximum of 15 credit hours per semester. A full-time student shall not be allowed to be in the employment of any organization (even as a part-time employee). However, they may be employed as teaching / research assistant at the University. If a full-time student becomes an employee (full-time or part-time) of any other organization in the middle of a semester, he may, with the approval of the Head of the department and his employer, be allowed to continue as a full time student for that semester.

The courses of study are recommended by the Department of CSE, UITS, and Faculty and approved by the Academic Council. The Department of CSE, UITS may review the curriculum from time to time and recommend any changes as may be considered necessary. The courses to be offered in any semester shall also be as determined by the academic committee of the Department of CSE, UITS.

A student on recommendation of the Department of CSE and as approved by the Faculty of Engineering, UITS may be allowed a transfer of credits of the courses completed by the student at a recognized institution provided that the courses were not taken earlier than five calendar years from the date of his first enrollment in the respective program at UITS and that the student obtained a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 or its equivalent and that the courses are equivalent to the approved courses of UITS.

Course Structure / Distribution:

For admission to the courses leading to a degree of M. Sc. Engg., a student must earn a minimum of 36 credit hours including a thesis for which 18 credit hours shall be assigned. The courses will be offered keeping in mind for the students who have obtained B.Sc. Engg. Degree in CSE from any recognized institution.

For admission to the courses leading to a degree of M. Engg., a student must earn a minimum of 36 credit hours including a project for which 6 credit hours shall be assigned. An applicant with a B.Sc. Engg. degree in other branches of engineering who have strong technical background may also be eligible for admission to the courses leading to the degree of M. Engg.
