CSMU B.Sc Information Technology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. B.Sc. (IT) is a science-stream degree that awards a Bachelor of Science, while BCA is a professional degree in computer applications. B.Sc. (IT) at CSMU costs INR 80,000/year vs INR 1,00,000/year for BCA. B.Sc. (IT) is better suited for students who want to pursue M.Sc. (IT), M.Sc. (CS), or research-oriented postgraduate programmes, as many universities require a B.Sc. degree for M.Sc. admission. BCA is more application-oriented and is preferred by students targeting MCA or direct industry roles. Both programmes cover similar core IT subjects at CSMU.

Medical leave or other genuine reasons may be considered by the university on a case-by-case basis, but the 75% threshold is a firm academic requirement.
