Dear Students,

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the vibrant, ever‑evolving world of Information Technology at our institute. As the Head of the Department of Information Technology, I am proud to share that our department not only imparts cutting‑edge theoretical knowledge but also places strong emphasis on hands‑on learning, and real‑world problem solving.

Our department highlights are as follows:

  • Autonomous since 2024–25 : Agile program updates ensure alignment with global standards and industry needs.
  • NEP‑Aligned Curriculum : A blend of theory and hands‑on practice designed to foster critical thinking, innovation, and lifelong learning.
  • Modern Labs & Expert Faculty : State‑of‑the‑art facilities for programming, networking, cybersecurity, and databases, coupled with small‑group mentoring and continuous feedback.
  • Student Associations & Chapters : ITSA, ISTE, IEEE, and ACM student chapters—organizing coding marathons, hackathons, workshops, seminars, technical talks, and cultural events to boost skills, teamwork, and leadership.
  • Industry MOU : Partnership with Zensar Technologies for summer internships, guest lectures, and placement support.
  • Centres of Excellence :
    •  iOS Development with Winjit Technologies (live app projects)
    •  Data Analytics with Helical IT Solutions (real datasets & industry tools)

I encourage you to make the most of every resource, opportunity, and challenge that comes your way. Your journey here will be shaped not only by the knowledge you acquire but also by the relationships you build and the projects you undertake.
