SZABIST offers a four-year (eight semesters) BS Computer Science degree program which is accredited by National Computing Education & Accreditation Council, (NCEAC). The program covers a wide range of courses in core Computer Science, Information Technology and Software Engineering. The program is essentially a full time day program and consists of 44 courses (five courses per semester) with a total of 130 credit hours. The complete course plan includes 7 technical electives. These 7 technical electives provide intensive learning in the diversified areas of Computer Science and allied disciplines. Internship opportunities are provided to complete degree requirement. The maximum time limit to complete the degree program is six years.
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING The Department of Computing is aimed to produce globally recognized scientific and technological experts in the field of computing. In the recent decade the computer science has played a catalytic role for many real-world applications. This includes, but not limited to, banking, software house, education, government, commerce, security, healthcare etc.
The Department of Computing at SZABIST is committed to produce quality graduated who can satisfy the national and global contemporary scientific and technological needs. The students are encouraged to render cutting edge research & development in the domain of computing to handle socio-economic challenges.
The internship is scheduled for summer at the end of third year. After completion of the six-week internship,
all students are required to submit a comprehensive report giving details of their experience and learning.
The candidate must have completed O-Levels (minimum 8 subjects including 5 compulsory subjects; English, Urdu, Math, Islamiat & Pakistan Studies) and A-levels (minimum 3 Subjects)/12th Grade/Intermediate with a minimum 50% marks or equivalent from a recognized institution. Mathematical background will be preferred for the BS Computer Science program.
For BSCS & BSSE programs, candidates who have not studied Mathematics at Intermediate/A-Levels have to pass deficiency courses of Mathematics (06 credits) in first two semesters.
Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) equivalency/attestation is required for O&A Levels/IB Diploma/High School Diploma/SSC & HSC or equivalent. General Paper (A Levels) will not be counted.
