Information Technology Department

The Department of Information Technology was established in 1999 to address the growing demand for skilled engineers in the field of information technology. In order to nurture intelligent IT professionals and researchers, the department introduced postgraduate and PhD courses in 2012 and 2018, respectively. The department’s primary objective is to provide students with a platform to gain insights into current IT trends and challenges, encouraging them to develop innovative solutions.

The department boasts a proficient and committed faculty and staff who diligently strive to enhance students’ technical skills and overall personality. This is achieved through a meticulously designed curriculum focused on outcomes, complemented by enjoyable co-curricular and extra-curricular learning activities.

The department hosts both ACM and ACM-W chapters, which organize highly engaging technical events and stand out as premier professional societies within the institute.

Vision
