They should have either:
achieved at least a D+ grade in each 10+2 subject with a CGPA of 2.0 or above; or
secured at least second division, equivalent to 45%, in 10+2, PCL, or an equivalent qualification in the science discipline.
Students awaiting Grade 12 supplementary examination results or final examination results may apply for the entrance examination, but the required academic documents must be submitted at admission.
Applicants with foreign certificates must submit an equivalence certificate together with subject-wise grading with CGPA or total percentage documentation from the concerned authority.
Applicants are required to pass the entrance examination conducted by Purbanchal University.
Project work begins in Semester II and continues through the remaining semesters. Students work under the guidance of an advisor and may work in groups of up to three.
The project structure covers goal setting, planning, research, teamwork, implementation, assessment, report writing, and presentation. The sequence progresses from Project I through Project VI before the Professional Project in Semester VIII.
The elective options cover several technical areas. These include Image and Video Processing, Surveillance Video Analytics, People Detection and Bio-metric Recognition, Introduction to Statistical Learning, Kernel Methods, Bayesian Data Analysis, Smart Product Development, Predictive Analysis and IoT, Modeling & Simulation, Pervasive Computing, Fundamentals of Big Data Analytics, Data Analysis and Visualization, Business Intelligence, and Social Media Analytics.
Students must maintain at least 80% attendance in lectures, tests, and tutorial classes to qualify for the final examination of a subject.
Assessment differs according to the type of course.
Combined theory and laboratory/practical courses: 20% internal assessment, 20% practical assessment, and 60% final examination.
Pure theory courses: 20% internal assessment and 80% final examination.
Pure laboratory or practical courses: 60% continuous internal evaluation and 40% final viva evaluated by the university.
Semester performance is reported through letter grades ranging from A+ to F, with I used for incomplete status. A+ represents a grade value of 4.00. Students are required to maintain a CGPA of 2.0 or above throughout the program.
