Department of Computer Science and Engineering
RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR B.SC. IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
1.1 Introduction
Computer Science and Engineering combines the intellectual challenge of a young discipline with the
excitement of an innovative and rapidly expanding technology. It is rich in challenges and applications,
since computing systems are everywhere: in science and engineering, medicine, design and manufacturing,
commerce and public services, defense, transportation, arts and the media, entertainment, and the home. The
rules and regulations administering undergraduate curricula through Course System began applicable for
students admitted to Faridpur Engineering College in First Year classes and subsequent sessions.

1.1.1 The Course System

The undergraduate curriculum at Faridpur Engineering College is based on the course system. The salient
features of the course system are;
i. Reduction of the number of theoretical courses and examination papers around five in each
semester,
ii. Continuous evaluation of student’s performance,
iii. Introduction of Letter Grades and Grade Points instead of numerical grades,
iv. Introduction of some additional optional courses and thus enable students to select courses
according to his/her interest as far as possible,
v. Opportunity for students to choose fewer or more courses that the normal course load depending
on his/her capabilities and needs,
vi. Flexibility to allow the student to progress at his/her own pace depending on his/her ability or
convenience, subject to the regulations on credit and minimum grade point average (GPA)
requirements, and
vii. Promotion of teacher-student contact.

In the curriculum for the undergraduate programmes, besides the professional courses pertaining to each
discipline, there is a storing emphasis on acquiring a thorough knowledge in the basic science of
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Due importance is also given for the study of several subjects in
Humanities and Social Sciences which, it is expected will help the student to interact more positively with
the society in which he/she/lives. Thus, the course contents of the undergraduate programmes provide a
harmonious blend of both basic sciences and their applications as well as their social relevance.

The first two Semester of bachelor’s degree programmes consist of courses in basic sciences, mathematics,
humanities and social sciences, basic engineering and architecture subjects. The third and subsequent
Semester build directly on the knowledge of the basic subjects gained in the first two Semester and go on to
develop competence in specific disciplines.
1.1.3 The Course Outline
Duration of the Program: 4 years.
Total Semester: 8 (2 semester per year).
Total Credits: 161.50
Class: 14 active weeks
Preparatory Leave: 2 weeks (No separate break for in-course examinations)
Teaching of the courses:
a. For each credit of a theory course, there will be 1 class per week of 1-hour duration.
b. Total classes in a semester for each credit of a theory course will be 14 (15x1).
c. Total Contact Hours in a semester for each 1 credit theory course: 14x1=14.
3|Page
 d. For each 1 credit lab course, there will be 1 class per week of 3 hours duration.
e. Total classes in a semester for each 1 credit lab course in 14 weeks: 14x1=14.
f. Total Contact Hours in a semester for each 1 credit lab course: 14x3=14.

Evaluation of the courses:

The answer scripts will be evaluated by two examiners. The average mark will be considered as the achieved
mark. The script will be evaluated by a third examiner if the difference of marks received from these two
examiners is more than 20%. In case of third examination, average of nearest two marks will be considered
as the achieved mark.

1.2 Students Admission

Students will be admitted in undergraduate curricula in the Departments of Computer Science and
Engineeringat Faridpur Engineering College as per rules of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology,
University of Dhaka. The Registrar’s Office of University of Dhakaserves Admissions Office and deals with
course registration in addition to student admission.
1.3 Number of Semester in a Year
There will be two Semesters in an academic year.

1.3.1 Duration of Semester

The duration of each of Semester will be 18 weeks which will be used as follows:
Classes 14 weeks
Recess before Semester Final Examination 02 weeks
Semester Final Examination (approximately) 02 weeks
Total = 18 Weeks

1.4 Course Pattern and Credit Structure

The entire undergraduate programme is covered through a set of theoretical and laboratory/sessional/studio
courses.

1.4.1 Course Designation and Numbering System

Each course is designated by a two to four letter word identifying the department, which offers it followed
by a three-digit number with the following criteria:
(a) The first digit will correspond to the year/level in which the course is normally taken by the
students.
(b) The second digit will be reserved for departmental use for such things as to identify
different areas within a department.
(c) The last digit will usually be odd for theoretical and even for laboratory or sessional courses.

1.4.2 Assignment of Credits

(a) Theoretical Courses:
One lecture per week per semester will be equivalent to one credit.
(b) Laboratory/sessional/Design:
Credits for laboratory/sessional or design courses will be half of the class hours per week per
semester.
Credits are also assigned to project and thesis work taken by students. The amount of credits assigned to
such work may vary from discipline to discipline.

The curriculum does not demand the same rate of academic progress from all students for obtaining the
degree but only lays down the pace expected of a normal student. A student whose background or capacity
for assimilation is lower will be permitted to complete the programme at a slower pace by studying a lesser
number of courses during a given semester (subject to a minimum course load). He may keep pace with his
class by taking during the Short Semester those courses which he had dropped during the Regular Semester,
or by covering the entire degree programme over an extended period without developing any felling of
inferiority complex.

1.5 Types of Course
The courses included in undergraduate curricula are divided into several groups as follows:

1.5.1 Core Courses

In each discipline a number of courses will be identified as core courses which form the nucleus of the
respective bachelor’s degree programme. A student has to complete all of the designated core courses for
his/her discipline.

1.5.2 Pre-requisite Courses

Some of the core courses are identified as pre-requisite courses. A pre-requisite course is one which is
required to be completed before some other course(s) can be taken. Any such course, on which one or more
subsequent courses build up, may be offered in each of the two regular Semester.

1.5.3 Optional Courses

Apart from the core courses, students will have to complete a number of courses which are optional in nature
in that students will have some choice to choose the required number of courses from a specified
group/number of courses.

1.6 Course Offering and Instruction

Each course is conducted by a teacher. The course teacher is responsible for maintaining the expected
standard of the course and for the assessment of student’s performance.

For a course strength necessitating two or more parallel classes or sections, one of the course teachers or any
other member of the teaching staff of the department may be designated as course coordinator. He/She has
the full responsibility for coordinating the work of the other members of the department involving in that
course.

1.7 Departmental Monitoring Committee

Consistent with its resilient policy to keep pace with new developments in the field of science and
technology, the College will update its course curriculum at frequent intervals (at least every three years).
Such updating aims not only to include the expanding frontiers of knowledge in the various fields but also to
accommodate the changing social, industrial and professional need of the country. This can be done through
deletion and modification of some of the courses and also through the introduction of new ones.

1.8 Teacher Student Contact

The proposed system encourages students to come in close contact with teachers. For promotion of teacher-
student contact, each student is assigned to an Adviser and the student is free to discuss with his/her adviser
all academic matters, especially those related to courses taken and classes being attended by him/her.
Students are also encouraged to meet with other teachers any time for help on academic matters.

1.10 Registration Requirements

Any student who makes use of classroom or laboratory facilities or faculty time is required to register
formally. Being admitted to the university, each student is assigned to a student adviser. The students can
register for courses he/she intends to make during a given semester only on the basis of the advice and
consent of his/her adviser.

1.10.1 Registration Procedure

Students must register for each class in which they will participate. Each student will fill up his/her Course
Registration Form in consolation with and under the guidance of his/her adviser. The original copy of the
Course Registration Form will be submitted to the Registrar’s Office, and then the requisite number of
photocopies will be made by the Registrar’s Office for distribution. The date, time and venue will be
announced in advance by the Registrar’s Office. Much counseling and advising are accomplished at
registration time. It is absolutely necessary that all students present themselves at the registration desk at the
specified time.

5|Page
1.10.2 Limits on the Credit Hours to be Taken
A student must be enrolled in at least 15 credit hours. He/She may be allowed to enroll in up to a maximum
of 24 credit hours if recommended by his/her Adviser. A student must enroll for the prescribed
sessional/laboratory courses in the respective Semester within the allowed credit hour limits.

1.10.3 Pre-condition for Registration

A student will be allowed to register in those courses subject to the capacity constraints and satisfaction of
pre-requisite courses. Registration will be done at the beginning of each semester. The Registration
programme with dates and venue will be announced in advance. Late registration is, however, permitted
during the first week on payment of a late registration fee. Students having outstanding dues to university or
a hall of residence shall not be permitted to register. All students have, therefore, to clear their dues and get a
clearance or no dues certificate, On the production of which, they will be given necessary Course
Registration Forms and complete the course registration procedure. Registration Forms will normally be
available in the Register’s Office. However, for the First-Year students, prior department-wise
ennoblement/admission is mandatory. An orientation programme will be conducted for them at the
beginning of the first semester when they will be handed over the registration package on production
enrollment slip/proof of admission.

1.10.4 Pre-registration
Pre-registration for courses to be offered by the students in a particular semester will be done on specified
dates before the end of the previous semester. All students in consolation with their course advisers are
required to complete the pre-registration formalities, failing which a fine of Tk. xxxx (amount may be
decided by the authority) will have to be paid before registration in the next semester. Further a student who
does not pre-register may not get the courses desired by his/her subsequently.

3.10.5 Registration Deadline

Student must register for the courses to be taken before the commencement of each semester and no late
registration will be accepted after one week of classes. Late registration after this date will not be accepted
unless the student submits a written appeal to the Registrar through the concerned Head and can document
extenuating circumstances such as medical problems (physically incapacitated and not able to be presented)
from the Chief Medical Officer of the University or some other academic commitments which precluded
enrolling prior to the last date of registration.

1.10.6 Penalty for Late Registration

Students who fail to register during the designated dates for registration are charged a late registration fee of
Tk. xx.xx (amount may be decided by the authority). This extra fee will not be waived whatever be the
reason for late registration.

1.10.7 Course Adjustment Procedure

A student will have some limited options to add or delete courses from his/her registration list, within the
first two weeks from the beginning of the semester. He/She may add courses only within the first two weeks
of a regular Semester and only the first week of a short Semester. In case of dropping a course, a student will
be allowed to do so within four weeks after the commencement of a regular Semester and two weeks after
the commencement of a short Semester. Adjustment of initially registered courses in any Semester can be
done by duly completing the Course Adjustment Form. These forms will normally be available in the
Registrar’s Office. For freshman students such forms can be included in the registration packet at the of
orientation.

Any student willing to add or drop courses will have to fill up a Course Adjustment Form in consultation
with under the guidance of his/her adviser. The original copy of the Course Adjustment Form will be
submitted to the Registrar’s Office, and then the requisite number of photo copies will be made by the
Registrar’s Office for distribution to the concerned Adviser, Head, Dean, Controller of Examination and the
students.

6|Page
All changes in courses must be approved by the Adviser and the Head of the department concerned. The
Course Adjustment Form will have to be submitted to the Registrar’s Office after duly filled in the signed by
the concerned persons. To add/drop a course, respective teacher’s consent will be required.
1.10.8 Withdrawal from a Semester
If a student is unable to complete the Semester Final Examination due to serious illness or serious accident,
He/She may apply to the Head of the degree awarding department for total withdrawal from the
Semesterwithin a week after the end of the Semester Final Examination. However, he/she may choose not to
withdraw any laboratory/sessional/design course if the grade obtained in such a course is ‘D’ or better. The
application must be supported by a medical certificate from the Medical Officer of the College. The
Academic Council will take the final decision about such application.
1.11 Grading System
The total performance of a student in a given course is based on a scheme of continuous assessment. For
theory courses this continuous assessment is made through a set of quizzes/in class evaluation, class
participation, homework assignments, and a semester final examination. The assessment in
laboratory/sessional courses is made through observation of the student at work in class, viva-voce during
laboratory hours, and quizzes. For architecture students, assessments in design sessional would be done
through evaluation of a number of projects assigned throughout the semester. As discussed earlier, each
course has a certain number of credits, which describe its weight age. A letter grade with a specified number
of grade points is awarded in each course for which a student is registered. A student’s performance is
satisfactorily and weighted average of the grade points that he/she has maintained. A minimum grade point
average is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress.

Letter grades and corresponding grade points will be awarded in accordance with provisions shown below:
Numerical Grade Letter Grade Grade Point
80% or above A+ (A plus) 4.00
75% to less than 80% A (A regular) 3.75
70% to less than 75% A- (A minus) 3.50
65% to less than 70% B+ (B plus) 3.25
60% to less than 65% B (B regular) 3.00
55% to less than 60% B- (B minus) 2.75
50% to less than 55% C+ (C plus) 2.50
45% to less than 50% C (C regular) 2.25
40% to less than 45% D 2.00
Less than 40% F 0.00
Continuation × -
(For project & thesis/design
course)

1.11.1 Distribution or Marks

Thirty percent (30%) of marks shall be allotted for continuous assessment i.e., quizzes and
homework assignments, in class evaluation and class participation. The remainder of the marks will
be allotted to Semester Final examination which will be conducted centrally by the University.
There will be internal and external examiners for each course in the Semester Final examination of
3 hours duration. The distribution of marks for a given course will be as follows:

i. Class participation 10%

ii. Homework Assignment and Quizzes 20%
iii. Final Examination (3 hours) 70%
Total =100%

Basis for awarding marks for class participation and attendance will be as follows:
Attendance Marks
90% and above 10
85% to less than 90% 9

7|Page
 80% to less than 85% 8
75% to less than 80% 7
70% to less than 75% 6
65% to less than 70% 5
60% to less than 65% 4
Less than 60% 0

The number of quizzes of a course shall be at least n+1, where n is the number of credits of the
course. Evaluation of the performance in quizzes will be on the basis of the best n quizzes. The
scheme of continuous assessment that a teacher proposes to follow for a course will be announced
on the first day of classes.
1.12 Earned Credits:
The courses in which a student has obtained ‘D’ or a higher Grade will be counted as credits earned
by him/her. Any course in which a student has obtained ‘F’ grade will not be counted towards
his/her earned credits.

A student who obtains ‘F’ grade in a Core Course in any semester will have to repeat the course.
If a student obtains ‘F’ grade in an Optional Course he/she may choose to repeat the Course or take
a Substitute Course if available.

‘F’ grades will not be counted for GPA calculation but will stay permanently on the Grade Sheet and
Transcript. When a student repeats a course in which he/she previously obtained ‘F’ grade, he/she will not
be eligible to get a grade better than ‘B’ in such a course.

If a student obtains a grade lower than ‘B’ in a course, he/she will be allowed to repeat the course only once
for the purpose of grade improvement by forgoing his/her earlier grade, but he/she will not be eligible to get
a grade better than ‘B’ in such a course. A student will be permitted to repeat for grade improvement
purposes a maximum of four courses in B.Sc. Engineering programme.

If a student obtains ‘B’ or a better grade in any course, he/she will not be allowed to repeat the course for the
purpose of grade improvement.

1.13 Honours
Candidates for Bachelor’s degree in engineering and architecture will be awarded the degree with honours if
their over all GPA is 3.75 or better.

1.14 Calculation of GPA

Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/completes five courses in a
semester having credits of C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and his/her grade points in these courses are G1, G2,
G3, G4 and G5, respectively then.
∑େ୧ୋ୧
GPA=
∑஼௜
1.14.1 A Numerical Example
Suppose a student has completed five courses in a Semester and obtained the following grades:
Course Credits Grade Grade points
EEE 203 3 A+ 4.00
EEE 205 3 B 3.00
EEE 207 3 A 3.75
Math 205 2 B+ 3.25
Hum 1 A- 3.50

Then his/her GPA for the semester will be computed as follows:

 ଷ×ସ.଴ାଷ×ଷ.଴ାଷ×ଷ.଻ହାଶ×ଷ.ଶହାଵ×ଷ.ହ
GPA= ଷାଷାଷାଶାଵ
=3.52

1.15 Performance Evaluation

The performance of a student will be evaluated in Semester of two indices, viz. Semester grade point
average, and cumulative grade point average, which is the grade average for all the Semester. The semester
grade point average, which is the grade average for all the Semester. The semester grade point average is
computed dividing the total grade points earned in a semester by the number of semester hours taken in that
semester. The overall or cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is computed by dividing the total grade
points accumulated up to date by the total credit hours earned. Thus, a student who was earned 275 grade
points in attempting 100 credit hours of courses would have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75.

Students will be considered to be making normal progress toward a degree if their cumulative or overall
GPA for all work attempted is 2.20 or more. Students who regularly maintain Semester GPA of 2.20 or
better are making good progress toward their degrees and are in good standing with the university. Students
who fail to maintain this minimum rate of progress will not be in good standing. This can happen when one
or more of the following conditions exist:
This can happen when one or more of the following conditions exist:

i) Semester GPA falls below 2.20,

ii) Cumulative GPA falls below 2.20,
iii) Earned credits fall below 15 times the number of Semester attended/studied.

All such students can make up deficiencies in GPA and credit requirements by completing courses in next
Semester (s) and backlog courses, if there be any, with better grades. When GPA and credit requirements are
achieved, the student is returned to good standing.

1.16 Academic Progress, Probation and Suspension

Academic Progress: Undergraduate students will be considered to be making normal progress toward a
degree if their cumulative or overall GPA for all work attempted is not less than 2.20.

Probation and Suspension: Undergraduate students who regularly maintain Semester GPA of 2.20 or
better are making good progress toward their degrees and are in good standing with the university. Students
who fail to maintain this minimum rate of progress may be placed on academic probation.

The status of academic probation is reminder/warning to the student that satisfactory progress towards
graduation is not being made. A student may be placed on academic probation when either of the following
conditions exists:

i) The Semester GPA falls below 2.20, or

ii) The cumulative GPA falls below 2.20.

Students on probation are subject to such restrictions with respect to courses and extracurricular activates as
may be imposed by the respective Dean of faculty.

The minimum period of probation is one Semester, but the usual period is for one academic year. This
allows the student an opportunity to improve the GPA through the completion of additional course work
during the period that the student is on probation. The probation is extended for additional Semester until the
student achieves an overall GPA of 2.20 or better. When that condition is achieved, the student is returned to
good standing.

Academic probation is not to be taken lightly-it is very serious matter. A student on academic probation who
fails to maintain a GPA of at least 2.20 during two consecutive academic years may be suspended from this
university. A student who has been suspended may make a petition to the Dean of faculty, but this petition
will not be considered until the student has been suspended at least one full Semester.
9|Page
Petitions for reinstatement must set forth clearly the reasons for the previous unsatisfactory academic record
and it must delineate the new conditions that have been created to prevent the recurrence of such work. Each
such petition is considered individually on its own merits.

After consideration of the petition, and perhaps after consultation with the student, the Dean in some cases,
reinstate the student if this is the first suspension. However, a second suspension will be regarded as final
and absolute.
1.17 Measures for Helping Academically Weak Students
The following provisions will be made as far as possible to help academically weak students to enable them
to complete their studies within the maximum period of seven years in engineering and eight years in
architecture student, respectively:
i) All such students whose cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is less than 2.20 at the end
of semester may be given a load of not exceeding four courses, in the next semester.
ii) For other academic deficiencies, some basic and core courses may be offered during the
Short Semester in order to enable the student to partially make-up for the deduced load
during Regular Semester.

Following criteria will be followed for desemestering academically weak students:

i) CGPA falling below 2.20.
ii) Semester grade point average (SGPA) falling below 2.20 points below that of previous
semester.
iii) Earned credit falling below 15 times the number of Semester attended.

1.18 Minimum Earned Credit and GPA Requirements for Obtaining Graduation

The minimum GPA requirement for obtaining a bachelor’s degree in engineering is 2.20.
Completion of fulltime Studentship: Students who have completed minimum credit requirement for
graduation for a Bachelor’s degree shall not be considered and registered as fulltime students.

A student may take additional courses with the consent of his/her adviser in order to raise GPA, but
he/she may take a maximum of 15 such additional credits in engineering beyond respective credit-
hour requirements for bachelor’s degree during his/her entire period of study.

1.18.1 Application for Graduation and Award of Degree

A student who has fulfilled all the academic requirements for Bachelor’s degree will have to apply
to the Controller of Examinations through his/her Adviser for graduation. Provisional degree will
be awarded on completion of credit and GPA requirements. Such provisional degrees will be
confirmed by the Academic Council.
1.19 Industrial/Professional Training Requirements
Depending on each department’s own requirement a student may have to complete a prescribed
number of days of industrial/professional training in addition to minimum credit and other
requirements, to the satisfaction of the concerned department.
1.20 Time Limits for completion of Bachelor’s Degree
A student must complete his studies within a maximum period of seven years for engineering.
1.21 Inclusion of Repeaters from Annual System in Course System
Repeater students including Private students of Annual system will be included in the Course
System of curricula as and when such situation will arise.

10 | P a g e
1.21.1 Exemption of Courses Repeater students including private students may be granted
exemption in theoretical course(s) in which he/she secured 45% or more marks and in
sessional/laboratory course(s) in which he/she secured 41% or more marks.

1.21.2 Time Limit for Completion of Bachelor’s Degree

Time allowed for a student included in Course System from Annual System to complete studies
leading to a bachelor’s degree will be proportional to the remaining credits to be completed by
him/her.

A student in engineering, for example, having earned 40 credit hours through equivalence and
exemption (of previously completed courses) out of a total requirement of 161.50 credits for
bachelor’s degree will get (7yrs×120/161.50=5.20) = 5.5 years (rounded to next higher half-a-year)
or 11 (eleven) Regular Semester to fulfill all requirements for bachelor’s degree. For a student in
architecture, time allowed will be calculated in a similar way.

1.21.3 Relaxation of Course Registration for Students

Transferred to Course System from Annual System
The requirement of registration of a minimum 15 credit hours in a semester shall be waived for
only the Semester of the level where he/she has been transferred in course system provided that
he/she has been granted exemption in some of the courses offered in those Semester.

1.22 Attendance, Conduct, Discipline, etc.

1.22.1 Attendance
All students are expected to attend classes regularly. The college believes that attendance is
necessary for effective learning. The first responsibility of a student is to attend classes regularly,
and one is required to attend at least 60% of all classes held in every course.
1.22.2 Conduct and Discipline
A student shall conform to a high standard of discipline, and shall conduct himself/herself, within
and outside the precincts of the college in a manner befitting the students of a college of national
importance. He/She shall show due courtesy and consideration to the employees of the college and
Halls of Residence, good neighborliness to his/her fellow students and the teachers of the college
and pay due attention and courtesy to visitors.
T safeguard its ideals of scholarship, character and personal behavior, the college reserves the right
to require the withdrawal of any student at any time for any reason deemed sufficient.
1.23 Absence During Semester
A student should not be absent from quizzes, tests, etc. during the Semester. Such absence will
naturally lead to reduction in points/marks which count towards the final grade. Absence in
Semester Final Examination will result in ‘F’ grades.

A student who has been absent for short periods, up to a maximum of three weeks due to illness,
should approach the course teacher(s) or the course coordinator(s) for make-up quizzes or
assignments immediately on returning to the classes. Such request should be supported by medical
certificate from a Medical officer. The medical certificate issued by registered medical practitioners
(with the Registration Number shown explicitly on the certificates) will also be acceptable only in
those cases where the student has valid reasons for his absence from the college).
