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 opted for and allotted, a Minor cannot be changed.

Does the programme follow NEP 2020 norms?

Yes. The curriculum is aligned with NEP 2020, UGC FYUGP, NCrF, and NHEQF.

What is the difference between Honours and Honours with Research?

Honours includes a project. Honours with Research includes a 12-credit dissertation in Semesters 7 and 8.

Can I pursue a PhD after this degree?

Yes. Students completing Honours with Research and securing 75 per cent or higher are eligible for PhD admission in many Indian institutions through selection criteria.

What if I do not want to do the research dissertation?

Then you 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 (Level 6.0) is strongly aligned with global Bachelor’s benchmarks and accepted in most countries.

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 a minor in [Data Science / Mathematics / Renewable Energy]”.

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

Yes. External projects are allowed with prior departmental approval and must meet academic standards.
