The Institute started a 4-year Information Technology B.E. course, in the year 1999 with an annual intake of 60 affiliated under RTM, Nagpur University (M.S). A team of qualified and experienced teachers and trained technical/support staff adds to the strength of the department. The faculty of the department is well versed in latest Information technologies, good hands on programming and research on recent trends such as Big Data, Grid Computing, Cloud Computing, Data Mining etc.
The department has been sponsoring the faculty members to pursue higher studies to IITs and NITs and other reputed institutes. The faculty members are encouraged to participate and attend the FDPs, STTP's, workshops on the research areas such as Advanced Web Mining, Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, Parallel Computing, Big data, Wireless Sensor Network, Pattern recognition etc.
Apart from the curriculum, the department conducts workshops on current technologies Machine Learning, Python, Deep Learning, Android, .Net Technology etc. during every academic year for the faculty and student development. Also, the Department has been conducting workshops with hands on practical on "Big Data Analytics". Prominently among these workshops, the department has conducted a Workshop on "Design of Algorithms" in coordination with IIT, Kharagpur.
The department has provided a separate counselling slot for the students to share and discuss their academic and non-academic issues with counsellors. Our students have always made their presence felt in the University examination results by securing highest ranks among the other engineering/technical institutes/colleges.
The faculty members are facilitated with a departmental Library having VCD collection of around 179+ VCDs by eminent IIT professors on various subjects like JAVA, .net, C++, Database Management Systems, Data Structures, Data Mining etc.
The students of the department showcase their skills through INFOQUEST - the Information Technology Forum, which provides a platform to excel in areas other than academics and prepare them for the fierce competition. The activities are planned and executed for the upcoming technocrats to sharpen their technical knowledge, inter-personal skills and aptitude through programming contests, seminars, quizzes, mock-interviews, etc.
Our alumni are working with software majors like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Persistent Systems Pvt. Ltd., L&T, Zensar, Smart Data, Capgemini, PCS, Syntel, etc. They have always been a source of inspiration and guidance for the pursuing undergraduates.
The department vision is to center of ecellence in the field of Information Technology (IT) to produce technology component, knowledgeable disciplined and socially responsible software engineers to contribute for the nation.
