INTRODUCTION
The Department of Software Engineering and Applied Sciences offers a 4-year BS Software Engineering program, which is duly approved by the National Computing Education and Accreditation Council (NCEAC). The department follows the latest HEC and NCEAC approved curriculum for BSSE. The curriculum not only focuses on the best processes, practices, and methodologies to apply in the production of high-quality and reliable software but also equips the students with the knowledge and skills required to practice as quality Computer Science professionals. Along with the theoretical knowledge of processes and methodologies, the curriculum is coupled with practical work that enables the students to get practical experience to analyze and solve real-world scenarios. As a part of training, the curriculum also facilitates the students for internships to get the actual zest of analyzing and designing real-world problems. The BSSE graduates find positions in the software industry as full-stack programmers, system analyst, product designer, project managers, and quality assurance.
Program Duration: 4 Years
Timing: Morning (Monday-Friday)
Location: 6.7 Km Japan Road, Sihala, Islamabad.
Recognized By: Higher Education Commission, NCEAC
Entry Requirement:
- 12 Years of Education, Intermediate (HSSC) examination, FSc (Pre-Engineering)/ ICS/ I. Com, A-Level, DAE (computer) with Mathematics and minimum 50% marks or equivalent qualification with Mathematics certified by IBCC.
- The students who have not studied Mathematics at intermediate level have to pass deficiency courses of Mathematics (06 credits) in first two semesters.
- Candidates having FSc (Pre-Medical) with minimum 50% marks are also eligible for admission but according to National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC) of HEC such students must pass deficiency courses of Mathematics of 6 credit hours within one year.
- Students who have successfully completed Associate Degrees in BSE are eligible for admission to the fifth semester of the BSE degree program without the need for any deficiency courses. However, these students must complete any required deficiency courses through a bridging semester, as determined by the admitting university, prior to entering the fifth semester. The minimum eligibility for admission to the fifth semester in the aforementioned cases is a CGPA of 2.00/4.00 in the prior qualification, i.e., the Associate Degree.
Entry Test: IBADAT International University Entry test / NAT
CAREER PROSPECTUS
This program is designed to prepare our students for a career as Software Engineers; System Analysts, Requirements Engineers, Software Architects, Quality Analysts, and Project managers. Software Engineers will help to develop software for telecommunications, financial systems, aeronautics, medical devices, transportation systems, banking and various government organizations.
