Introduction

In keeping with the development, growth and diversification within the computer field, the baccalaureate program in computer science and Engineering addresses two areas existing today: the computer science and information technology concentrations.

Bachelor degree in computer science and engineering are among the most sought after by all segments of the economy. Not only in the job market bright for computer science and engineering graduates, but also the level of income for those entering the field is among the highest of all university graduates.

The aim of the B.Sc. program in Computer Science & Engineering at RUD is to make the students skilled and efficient Professionals and Experts and also to enable them to be prospective scholars of Post-Graduate Study and Research in this challenging area of Computer Technology.

English is the major language of communication in the scientific and technological world. The medium of instruction at RUD is English. Students are required to have proficiency in both spoken and written English, although the students will be taught two courses on English in two consecutive semesters to make them skilled in technical & communicative English.
The performance of a student in a given course is made through Continuous Evaluation that comprises of Class Test, Class Attendance, Homework / Assignment and a Semester Final Examination. Letter Grades and Grade Points are used to evaluate the performance of a student in a given course. The grading system at RUD is as per with national and international standards, which is also in sharp compliance of the University Grants Commission’s guidelines. A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C & D are the passing grades while F is the failing grade. The numerical equivalence of the grades as used in calculating the CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is as follows:
Numerical Grade Letter Grade Grade Point
80% and above A+ 4.00
75% to less than 80% A 3.75
70% to less than 75% A- 3.50
65% to less than 70% B+ 3.25
60% to less than 65% B 3.00
55% to less than 60% B- 2.75
50% to less than 55% C+ 2.50
45% to less than 50% C 2.25
40% to less than 45% D 2.00
Less than 40% F 0.00
The Grade Point Average (GPA) will be computed in the following way: GPA=
