Entrance examination for B.Sc. CSIT, which stands for Bachelor in Science - Computer Science and Information Technology, is expected to be held most likely in second or third week of Bhadra and Ashad is already passing way, hence, meaning yo do have only one-and-a-half months to prepare from now. While if you are a CSIT aspirants from the beginning of your 12th, you may have already prepared for the entrance that could make you win your dream college, however, having questions like "How hard is the B.Sc. CSIT course" or "After studying CSIT what salary I could expect in Nepal" is unevitable. This article aims to give you better insight by analyzing the floating data over internet to give a clear and concise based on the past year stats and official data.

Is CSIT hard?
This is very subjective from person to person, however, you can assume that CSIT in Nepal will be very easy in terms of theoretical knowledge if you have studied well upto your 12th grade. Along theoritical, B.Sc. CSIT consist practical assessments as well that make it sometimes better than Computer Science Engineering (CSE) if your goal is to be a software developer. Therefore, it simply means that CSIT is way more easier than Computer Science Engineering in terms of theoritical, additionally, way more efficient than CSE in terms of practical knowledge and job market. It was observed that an average student while in +2(NEB) did better in CSIT suggesting that it will be easier for students if you are somewhere above average.
However, if you are not die-hard coding enthusiast, you may endup in loss of interest that could make your course somehow difficult. The syllabus of CSIT in Nepal consists of subject like Physics, Mathmatics, and Programming that are at mediocre level that means if you focus on your study, it is not so difficult to understand. The complete syllabus of TU is attached below:
