FAQ's

Can I choose any Minor with Computer Science?


Yes. You may choose Data Science, Mathematics, or Renewable Energy.

Will my chosen Minor definitely run?


The Minor will run only if the required minimum number of students opt for it.

Can I switch my Minor later?


No. Once you have opted and been allotted a Minor, it cannot be changed.

Does the programme follow NEP 2020 norms?


Yes. The curriculum aligns with NEP 2020 and related norms.

What is the difference between Honours and Honours with Research?


Honours has a project; Honours with Research adds a 12-credit dissertation in Semesters 7 and 8.

Can I pursue a PhD after this degree?


Yes. Honours with Research and ≥75% marks qualify you for PhD selection at many Indian institutions.

What if I don’t want to do the research dissertation?


You will graduate with B.Sc (Honours) instead of B.Sc (Honours with Research).

Are international universities accepting this NEP-aligned degree?


Yes. The 4-year Honours with Research meets global standards and is widely accepted.

Will the Minor be mentioned on the final degree certificate?


Yes. As per UGC FYUGP norms, the degree certificate will specify: “B.Sc (Honours/ Honours with Research) in Computer Science with Minor in [Discipline]”.

Can I complete my project/dissertation outside the campus (for example, at research institutes or industry labs)?
