Highlights
Affiliation: Tribhuvan University (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences)
Duration: 4 years (8 semesters)
Academic Area: Programming, data structures, DBMS, web technologies, software engineering, computer networks, operating systems, discrete mathematics, statistics, project work
Location: Battisputali, Kathmandu
Evaluation: Internal assessments and practicals; TU theory and practical exams
Learning Support: Programming and database labs, networking lab sessions, library and e-learning access, code reviews in selected courses
Curriculum Details
Early semesters focus on computing foundations and programming style. Students practice algorithms, flowcharts, and clear variable naming. Classroom sessions introduce discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics to support reasoning in later modules.
Middle semesters add data structures, DBMS, operating systems, and networking. You design simple schemas, write SQL queries, manage joins and constraints, and learn transaction basics. Networking labs walk through IP addressing, routing concepts, service configuration, and packet inspection where tools allow.
Later semesters move into web technologies and software engineering. Students learn client–server ideas, basic security hygiene, testing practice, and requirement documentation. A capstone project or mini-project trains you to manage a small codebase, record issues, and present a working demo with a short report.
