"I invite you to explore our website and get more information about our distinguished academic programs, state of the art facilities, and dedicated faculty members. It will give you our clear intention and commitment towards excellence and quality. Thanks to the efforts of our researchers, teachers, and our students too, we persevere to play a primary role in our discipline, both nationally and internationally."

It gives me immense pride and pleasure to introduce the Department of Information Technology The Department of Information Technology was founded in 1999.

The Bachelor degree program was started in 1999. The Master degree program was started in 2011.

Currently the Master degree program run by the department is Computer Science & Business Systems. The bachelor degree program is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi. All the academic programs are periodically reviewed and updated to incorporate the latest trends in information technology driven society.

We are proud of our strong academic programs, which are based on theoretical and practical knowledge and match well with the requirements and demands of the industry. We are committed to students by offering short term courses and pre placement training classes that foster critical and analytical thinking and build the necessary skills to succeed in the industry. Sitting squarely in an Engineering Faculty, the Department of Information Technology is focused on devising innovative, correct solutions to hard problems, whilst ensuring that the solutions execute optimally with the aspiration to create patents. We regularly conduct entrepreneurship development programs which aim to train the engineering graduates in the essentials of conceiving, planning, initiating and launching an economic activity or an enterprise successfully.
