The courses designed for B.Sc. in Civil Engineering consist of 161 credits distributed over eight semesters in four academic years. Each academic year is divided into two semesters (odd & even) each of duration not less than 13 weeks (65 working days). There shall be final examinations at the end of each semester. The medium of answer in all examinations will be English. The theoretical examination of courses shall be of 3 hours duration. An academic schedule for an academic year shall be announced for general notification before the start of the academic year, on the prior approval of the academic committee.
