Qualifying Requirements

The qualifying requirements for M.Sc/M. Engg degree is that a student must pass the minimum grade point of 2.65 based on the weighted average in his course work.
The C grades, up to a maximum of two subjects, may be ignored for the calculation of grade point average (GPA) at the written request of the student, provided the student has completed the total credit hour requirement with a minimum weighted GPA of
2.65 in the remaining subjects.
No subject shall be repeated unless it is a compulsory requirement for the degree as determined by the Board of Postgraduate Studies. Performance in all the subjects shall be reflected in the transcript.
If the cumulative number of F grades obtained by the student is three or more, he shall not be allowed to continue in the program. If at the end of the second of any subsequent semesters, the cumulative GPA falls below 2.5 (considering all grades including F grades) he shall not be allowed to continue in the program.

In addition to the general M.Sc. in CSE/M.Engg. in CSE degree, the program also offers the following two specializations:
