Computer Networks (CSC 263) is a core Fourth Semester subject in Tribhuvan University’s BSc CSIT program (current / new course code). It covers networking models and layers—topologies, physical media, data link, IPv4/IPv6 addressing and routing, transport and application protocols, plus SDN/NFV overview—with Packet Tracer / Wireshark labs.
On this page you’ll find the official CSC 263 syllabus and Computer Networks notes PDF by Deep Raj Bhujel.
Note: Older batches may still see CSC 258 on past papers; the syllabus content is largely the same. CSC 263 is the current code under the revised grading system.
What you’ll learn
- OSI and TCP/IP models, topologies, and network types
