Degree Programs

The University is committed to expand its programs in line with the national aspirations and requirements. At present the University offers the following degree programs. All under-graduate programs offered by the university are of 4-years duration.

BBA

This program prepares students to meet the challenges posed by an ever competitive global marketplace. The world is becoming a global village, and interaction between people is causing new business models to emerge and creating new opportunities for local companies to expand internationally. To meet new challenges, one has to understand the business practices in other parts of the world. This program is intended to produce managers and business administrators, who are equipped with the latest trends and practices and are ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

BS (Computer Science)

The purpose of the Computer Science degree programs is to produce computer scientists who can form the backbone of the fast growing computer industry. Students are also given opportunities to involve themselves in research activities through different research programs carried out in the campuses.

BS (Computer Engineering)

The purpose of this program is to produce Computer Engineers who can play a significant role in the rapidly expanding computer industry. This program exposes students to the latest developments in the field of Computer Engineering. In the final semester, students are expected to spend a good deal of time in completing a project. This project may be carried out in collaboration with industry, under the guidance of internal and external supervisors.

BS (Telecommunication Engineering)

The development and growth in the telecommunication industry has been so phenomenal over the past few years as to justify a specialized course for those intending to embark on a career in this industry. Modern telecom systems have their roots in electronics but technologies related to computer networks, radio and fibre optic links and the Internet have contributed to give Telecom systems their complex and hybrid shape. The BS (Telecom Engineering) program seeks to build broad foundations of the discipline so that graduates will be able to comprehend and appreciate the rapid changes which are taking place in the industry. The program has a strong Information Technology emphasis as it incorporates the use of computer software to solve mathematical, control and signal processing problems.

This 4-year program meets the requirements of the international telecommunication industry and the governments, which control the telecommunication industry. Students spend a good deal of time in undertaking a project during the final year of their studies. This project may be carried out in collaboration with industry, under the guidance of internal and external supervisors.

MBA
The MBA Program is geared to developing in-depth understanding of the dynamics of indigenous Management practices and a deeper appreciation of the implications of a rapidly globalizing work environment. The Program is designed with a view to ‘researching’ local & regional Management phenomena rather than merely ‘studying’ them, ultimately with an eye towards closer alignment of the underlying theoretical structure of Management Sciences with the unique dynamic and challenges of the work environment in our region.
- The 1-year MBA is offered to those with a 4 year BBA degree.
- The 2-year MBA is a rigorous program for students with 16 years of education.
- The 3-year MBA is offered to those with a 14-year Bachelor degree.
MS (Computer Science)

The MS (Computer Science) program allows computer science graduates to pursue further studies in a specific field of choice through course work and research. The University expects its MS graduates to pursue careers either as ‘Computer Science Faculty Members’ at a University or as ‘Software Development Managers’ in the industry. Candidates for this program are expected to have a strong inclination towards computing. The MS (Computer Science) program includes four ‘core courses’ aimed at strengthening the understanding and competence of students in computer science fundamentals. To enable the students to specialize in an area of their choice a set of ‘elective courses’ are offered.

MS (Software Project Management)

This program enables students to develop skills necessary to manage software projects. In the final year, students take a Practicum course, which involves supervision of undergraduate students’ projects. In the final semester, the student either undertakes a Research/Industry survey or Thesis along with the second part of the Practicum course.

The MS (Software Project Management) program focuses on strengthening students’ knowledge in theoretical as well as practical aspects of managing software projects. The program not only addresses management issues related to software industry but also covers the software engineering concepts, which must be known to a project manager.

The aim is to prepare middle and top management so that they meet the challenges of present and future needs of software industry. The coursework exposes the students to management and technical issues encountered in development of software solutions. The students are expected to do research for their theses.

MS (Telecommunication Engineering)

This program prepares a graduate in Telecom Engineering to acquire expertise in a particular area. In the final year, the student normally undertakes a thesis. This may be undertaken in collaboration with the industry, under the guidance of industry experts and a faculty supervisor from the University.

PhD
The PhD program requires candidates to undertake a number of graduate level courses, pass a comprehensive examination, and then carry out research in chosen area. The candidates are required to publish research papers in journals of international repute.
