About Programme:

Information Technology programme includes the study of designing, development and execution of software/hardware applications and computer- based systems, as well as to enrich the student’s personal, social and cognitive development to meet challenges of the society. Students are exposed to up-to-date curriculum, technology and techniques. The Department is well equipped with high end computers, latest softwares & state-of-the-art IT infrastructure and all these computing resources are inter-connected with high speed intranet. The curriculum is modified, enhanced and updated regularly as we introduce new courses to reflect current topics in this fast-changing discipline such as Cyber Security and Digital Forensic to develop a security policy for an organization that balances the organization’s mission, culture, human factors, and security requirements; Apply risk assessment methodologies in selecting and configuring security controls to protect information assets.

Data Science gives broad exposure to key concepts and tools from Python, R to Machine Learning and more. Hands-on labs and project work bring these concepts to life with our trainers and teaching assistants to guide you along the way. ICT refers to Information and Communication Technology which includes media of communication, Information Machines, Telecommunication Technologies & Equipment’s. ICT is an extended term for information technology which stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications, computers as well as necessary software, its storage and the audio-visual systems, which enable all users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information. Hence the programme is designed with the specialization tracks such as cyber security, data science & ICT.
