Bachelors in Information Technology (BIT)

The Bachelors in Information Technology (BIT) curriculum is designed by closely following the courses practiced in accredited international universities, subject to the condition that the intake students are twelve years of schooling in any stream or equivalent from any recognized board. In addition to the foundation and core Information Technology courses, the program offers several elective courses to meet the undergraduate academic program requirement and to fulfill the demand for development and implementation of new technology. Students enrolled in the four year BIT program are required to take foundation and core courses of Information technology, courses of mathematics, statistics, management, economics, sociology, psychology, research methodology and technical writing, and some elective courses. All undergraduate students are required to complete 120 credit hours of Information Technology and allied courses, and will have opportunity in the field of software development, information security, database administration, network and system administration, and in all the sectors that develop and/or use Information Technology.

Objective: The main objective of BIT program is to provide students intensive knowledge and skill to design, develop, and use information technology in different areas. It is envisaged that graduate of this program will be equipped with necessary knowledge of Information Technology to compete in this global world.

Eligibility for BIT Program

• Should have successfully completed a twelve years of schooling in any stream or equivalent from any university, board, or institution recognized by TU.
• Should have secured a minimum of the second division in their +2 or equivalent OR should have at least a 'C' grade or CGPA 2.0 in all subjects in Class 11 and 12 by taking English and Mathematics of 100 marks.
• Passed A level in any stream and secured at least a 'D' grade in English and Mathematics.
• Passed 3 Years Diploma in Engineering program from CTEVT taking both English and Mathematics

Course Duration: The entire course is of eight semesters (four academic years). There is a separate semester examination after the end of each semester.

Evaluation : All the courses except project work and internship should have internal weightage of 40% and external weightage of 60%. For the course having laboratory work, the internal weightage is divided into 20% laboratory work and 20% internal assessment. A student should secure minimum of 40% in each category to pass a course. The final grade and grade point in each course will be the sum of overall weightage of in all categories. There will be a separate practical examination for the 20% weightage of lab work in the presence of an external examiner. The Project work and Internship are evaluated by different evaluators. To pass Project Work and Internship, students should secure at least 40% marks in the evaluation of each evaluator and the final grade and grade point will be the sum of all the evaluations. For the evaluation of final presentation, an external examiner will be assigned.

Grading System : The grade awarded to each student in each course is based on his/her overall performance through internal and external evaluations. Several evaluation criteria are used for the continuous internal evaluation. External evaluation is solely based on examination conducted by Institute of Science and Technology (IoST). The grade in each course is assigned using a letter grade that indicates the overall performance of each student in each course. The chart below represents letters with its corresponding grading scale, grade point, and performance remarks.

The performance of each student in each semester shall be evaluated in terms of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) which is the grade point average for the semester.
