B.Sc. (Computer Science)

B.Sc. (Computer Science)

Preamble:

The B. Sc. (Computer Science) and B. Sc. (Computer Science) (Honors) and (Research) course is a systematically designed program with Computer Science as a major subject under the faculty of Science and Technology. The objective of the course is to prepare students to undertake careers involving problem solving using computer science and technologies, or to pursue advanced studies and research in computer science. The syllabus which comprises of Computer Science (Major) subject along with that of the three allied subjects (Mathematics, Electronics and Statistics) (Minor) covers the foundational aspects of computing sciences and also develops the requisite professional skills and problem solving abilities using computing sciences.

Introduction:

At the first year of under-graduation, the basic foundations of two important skills required for software development are laid. A course in problem solving and programming along with a course in database fundamentals forms the preliminary skill set for solving computational problems. The practical courses are designed to supplement the theoretical training in the year. Along with Computer Science (Major), VSC and SEC courses help in building a strong technical foundation. Another aspect of this course is IKS which tells about the rich heritage and advancement of India in the field of computation.

In the second year of under-graduation, computational problem solving skills are further strengthened by a course in Data structures, C++ and python programming. Software engineering concepts that are required for project design are also introduced. Essential concepts of computer networking are also introduced this year. The practical course included in both semesters complements the theory courses. Field projects/ OJT are introduced so that students can implement the concept they have learnt in first year.

In Second Year, the “Subject 1: Computer Science” will be the Major Subject and the Minor subject will be chosen from “Subject 2 or Subject 3”. Subject 2 and Subject 3 will not be available as Major Subjects in Second Year and Third Year At the third year of under-graduation, all the subjects are designed to fulfill core Computer Science requirements as well as meet the needs of the software industry. Theory courses are adequately supplemented by hands-on practical courses. Major elective courses are taking care of recent advancement in the field of computer science. Minor and Skill Enhancement courses enable the students to acquire additional skills. At the fourth year (honors) and (research) of under-graduation, all the subjects are designed to fulfill core Computer Science requirements as well as meet the needs of the software industry. Practical courses and field projects enable students to get hands-on training. Various learning tracks are open through Major elective courses. Research methodology course will create interest among the students to carry research in the field of computer science.

Objectives:

• To develop problem solving abilities using a computer.

• To build the necessary skill set and analytical abilities for developing computer based solutions for real life problems.

• To train students in professional skills related to the Software Industry.

• To prepare the necessary knowledge base for research and development in Computer Science.

• To help student’s build-up a successful career in Computer Science and to produce entrepreneurs who can innovate and develop software products.

Eligibility

1. H.S.C. (10 + 2) Science stream with Mathematics.

2. Three years diploma course after S.S.C. (10th std.) of Board of Technical Education conducted by Government of Maharashtra or its equivalent.
