Bachelor of Science (BSc General) is a four-year course at Tribhuvan University (TU). This program is conducted by the TU Institute of Science and Technology (IoST).

The syllabus has been upgraded from 3 to 4 years of curriculum since 2012 in order to make it in line with the international universities’ practices.

The total BSc General course is of 2000 marks. Students have to study the core syllabus and scientific communication in the first year, core lectures and applied statistics in the second year.

In the third year, apart from the core curriculum of the respective discipline, they have to study research methodology and elective subjects. In elective studies, they have to choose any two subjects from their respective subject pool.

The fourth year consists of a core syllabus, project work/ field work, computational +, and interdisciplinary courses. The fourth year is research-oriented for providing knowledge, ideas, and acquaintance to the scholars in the field of research.

The Bachelor of Science (BSc General) course is divided into theory and practical which is of 100 and 50 marks respectively. Bachelor of Science envisions producing highly qualified undergraduates with a strong foundation in the different disciplines of science and technology.
