Hello Chaitnay,
The program you are enrolled in is of four semester which will get over as per the date on your letter, one semester is of 4 months in Canada. Ideally you should be completing this program by end of April 2015.

However, you do have an option to drop one of the semesters (which is okay as it doesn't impact anything on your file) and you can continue after the drop period (one semester) then your program will get over by December 2015 which is also not a problem, but only change will be - you will need to extend your study permit for another four months which is not a difficult task but involves a fee of 150 CAD.
Read the info on following CIC link;

Now, you will get three years of work permit as it's of four semesters program. Don't get confused with the fact that your actual study is of 16 months. That's how it is calculated.
