BS Business Computing

BS Business Computing is a four years undergraduate degree in business Computing.

Entry requirements

Admission is based on HSSC (Intermediate) or an equivalent qualification in a relevant group, combined with the entry test the institution uses. Applicants holding A-Levels or a foreign qualification need an equivalence certificate from the Inter Board Coordination Commission, which is worth applying for as soon as results are published. Merit is usually a weighted aggregate of HSSC marks and entry test score, and the weightings differ between institutions.

Accreditation

Computing programmes may hold National Computing Education Accreditation Council accreditation, which is the programme-level quality check in this field. Note that a computing degree is not an engineering degree: only programmes titled and accredited as computer or software engineering lead to PEC registration.

What it leads to

A four-year bachelor’s is the standard undergraduate qualification in Pakistan and satisfies the 16-year requirement for postgraduate admission. What it leads to depends heavily on what a graduate builds alongside it — internships, projects and demonstrable practical skill — since employers in most fields weight those alongside the degree itself.

Comparing institutions

Fees for the same degree title vary several-fold between Pakistani institutions, and course content varies with them. Ask each university for the full per-semester fee schedule across the whole degree rather than the first instalment, and for the current course outline — UniAssist lists which universities teach this degree, but the detailed curriculum is set institutionally and the university’s own prospectus is the authoritative source for it.
