Computer Networks (CN)
OSI/TCP-IP, data link, network, transport and application layer protocols.
Machine Learning (ML)
Supervised learning, unsupervised learning, decision trees, neural networks and evaluation.
Formal Language and Automata (FLA)
Finite automata, regular expressions, CFG, pushdown automata and Turing machines.
Full Stack Web Development (FSWD)
HTML/CSS/JS, frontend frameworks, backend, database integration and DevOps.
Discrete Mathematics
Logic, proofs, set theory, graph theory and combinatorics for computer science.
Professional Elective 2
Specialized CSE elective chosen based on career interest and faculty availability.
Open Elective 1
Cross-department elective from non-CSE branches for breadth of knowledge.
Community Connect
Service learning project with community engagement and social impact assessment.
CGPA importance in Semester 5
CN and ML are asked in networking and data science roles respectively. FLA theory appears in competitive coding and compiler design contexts. Maintain 7.5+ CGPA for placement eligibility.
Semester 5 study tips
- CN OSI model and TCP/IP are asked in every networking interview
- ML algorithms (regression, classification) should be implemented, not just theorized
- FLA automata theory helps with regex problems in coding tests
- Start participating in coding contests on Codeforces and LeetCode weekly
