Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT)

Bachelor in Information Technology (BIT) at SANN International College

The Bachelor in Information Technology at SANN International College is a four-year undergraduate program offered in Naya Naikap-14, Kathmandu. The course follows the eight-semester curriculum of Purbanchal University.

BIT combines programming, computer systems, communication technology, mathematics, management, and software project work. Students begin working on projects from the first semester and continue through an application project in the eighth semester. This structure gives equal attention to subject knowledge, laboratory practice, software development, technical documentation, and presentations. The intake capacity at SANN is 48 students.

BIT course overview

What students study

The first year introduces Mathematics, Fundamentals of Information Technology, Technical Communication, Basic Electrical Systems and Circuits, Principles of Management, Computer Programming, Electronic Devices and Circuits, Digital Logic, Object-Oriented Programming in C++, and Financial Management and Accounting.

Project I and Project II are included during this opening stage. In Project II, students work in groups to design small-scale software in C++. The process covers topic selection, requirements, algorithms, coding, implementation, documentation, report submission, and oral presentation.

The second year moves into System Analysis and Design, Microprocessor and Assembly Language, Data Structures and Algorithms, User Interface Design, Numerical Methods, Communication Systems, Computer Organization, Web Technology, Database Management Systems, Discrete Mathematics, and Marketing Management. Project III and Project IV continue the semester-wise development work.

Third-year subjects include Probability and Statistics, Society and Ethics in IT, Data Communication, Web Technology II, Computer Graphics, Operating Systems, Embedded System Programming, Computer Networks, Data Mining and Data Warehousing, Advanced Object-Oriented Programming, and Research Methodology.

Project V focuses on server-side web application development. Students work in small groups, submit a written report, and present the completed application. Project VI extends the work into software engineering practices, relational database systems, and object-oriented programming.

The final year covers Artificial Intelligence, Network Programming, Software Engineering, Management Information Systems, E-commerce, Wireless Communication Systems, and Software Project Management. Students also choose electives from areas such as cloud computing, distributed processing, multimedia systems, geographical information systems, network security, e-governance, system administration, image processing, and algorithm design.

Project VII requires students to develop a professional application with documentation, presentation, and viva assessment. The eighth semester concludes with a four-credit Application Project.

Project-based learning

A project appears in every semester of the BIT curriculum. This is a notable part of the course structure because students do not wait until the final year to begin software work.

Across the eight semesters, project assignments involve:

• Selecting and defining a technical problem

• Preparing system requirements and specifications

• Designing algorithms and application structures

• Writing and testing code

• Working with databases and web technologies

• Preparing technical documentation

• Presenting work to evaluators

• Responding to questions during a viva

The sequence moves from introductory programming tasks to web applications and larger professional application projects.

Learning activities at SANN

SANN’s IT department conducts coding workshops, hackathons, software-development projects, web and application development training, guest lectures, technology events, cybersecurity-awareness activities, and career guidance.

Students can also participate in the SANN AI Club, SANN IoT and Robotics Club, SANN Cyber Security Club, and SANN Web and Game Development Club. These groups create additional space for technical discussions, group projects, presentations, and student-led activities.

The college has computer laboratory facilities, internet-supported classrooms, a library, e-library resources, study areas, research spaces, and a student learning hub. The library contains more than 6,000 books, while the e-library provides access to books, journals, and other academic resources through ProQuest.

Admission process

BIT admissions are conducted once a year under the rules and academic guidance of Purbanchal University. Applicants submit the admission form and required academic records before appearing for the entrance examination.

The entrance test covers:

• Mathematics, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, and basic trigonometry

• Logical reasoning, numerical ability, and data interpretation

• General knowledge, current events, and observational science

• English grammar, comprehension, interpretation, and conclusion-drawing

Candidates shortlisted through the entrance examination attend an oral interview before final selection. Admission records include +2 marksheets or equivalent academic records, character and provisional certificates, a migration certificate, nationality proof, and other required documents.

Scholarships

SANN has merit-based and need-based scholarship categories. Scholarship selection and the level of tuition support depend on the applicable college rules and the student’s category.

Who may consider BIT?

BIT may suit students interested in programming, websites, databases, networking, computer systems, software projects, and the organisational use of technology. The course includes both technical and management subjects, so students work with code and hardware concepts alongside communication, accounting, marketing, research, and project management.

Students should also be prepared for mathematics, laboratory exercises, group projects, reports, presentations, and semester assessments throughout the four-year program.
