The Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) at Tribhuvan University is a four-year, eight-semester program run by the Institute of Science and Technology. It shares a lot of ground with BSc CSIT in the early semesters, then turns towards applied and management-side subjects: information security, database administration, management information systems, e-commerce, cloud computing and e-governance.
This page lists the full BIT syllabus by semester with course codes, says what each paper tends to ask, and links each subject to its notes and solved past questions on the BIT program page. If you are still deciding between the two programs, read CSIT vs BIT: which to choose.
Program at a glance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Degree | Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) |
| Institute | Institute of Science and Technology, TU |
| Duration | 4 years, 8 semesters |
| Subjects | 43 (including electives) |
| Evaluation | Written semester examination plus internal assessment and practicals |
The theory paper for a BIT subject follows the same two-group pattern as CSIT: a long-answer group of 10-mark questions and a short-answer group of 5-mark questions, with internal and practical marks added by the college. Check the front of the paper for the exact split in your subject.

How to study from this syllabus
Every subject page on notesharu shows the official unit list on the left and the notes, solved questions and important questions on the right. The practical approach for any BIT paper is to read the unit notes once, open the important questions view to see which topics have repeated across years, and then work through the solved past questions in that order. The BIT collection currently holds more than 2,400 solved questions from papers between 2077 and 2082 BS, all tagged to their syllabus unit.
The two landing pages collect everything: BIT notes for unit-wise notes across all 43 subjects and BIT past questions for the solved papers. The official curriculum and examination notices are published by the Institute of Science and Technology, linked in the sources; if a college teaches a revised elective list, the institute's notice is the authority.
