The Department of Information Technology was established in year 2001. The department is considered one of the vibrant departments of the college as far as results and placements are concerned. The study of Information Technology basically deals with application of computational technologies for storage, retrieval, transmission and manipulation of the information which is a processed data. Both software and hardware sectors are parts of Information Technology. Due to the importance and reputation of IT, the present age is sometimes referred to as information technology age. The Department caters to the current needs of undergraduate engineering program (B. Tech.) in Information Technology by providing state of art infrastructure.

The Department aims to provide both theoretical as well as practical know-how to its students and make them employable and ready for industry intake. The department has produced excellent IT engineers who are serving in different reputed organizations and pursuing higher studies at institutes of excellence.

The students of the department are exposed to hands on experiments in areas like data structures, object-oriented systems, programming languages, DBMS, Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Analysis of Algorithms, Digital Hardware Design, data mining and warehousing, software testing and other field in Information Technology. The class lectures, laboratory experiments and student projects prepare the students for a career in software industry and for future post graduate studies. The department has very close interaction with local and national industries and their inputs are taken into consideration to give value additions to our programs such as seminars, projects, various workshops and training programs. Different syllabus and non-syllabus activities like projects, seminars, educational visits, expert lectures, technical workshops etc. are regularly organized by the department for continuous growth of its students. We are also engaged with many external collaborations which keep our faculties up-to-date about the industrial requirements and facilitate delivering most relevant lectures/practical and tutorials. The faculty members regularly participate in workshops/ seminars and training programs organized within and outside the college for up gradation of knowledge and to keep-up with the pace of global competition.

Spoken Tutorial programs of IIT Bombay are organized in which workshops and certification exams on Open Source Software are conducted for students. Infosys Campus Connect foundation program which is a part of industry-institute interaction is successfully conducted for III- and IV-year students, under which different focus areas are dealt by senior faculty members of the department. Three industry-oriented courses on IBM emerging technologies namely IBM Bluemix for Cloud, IBM Cognos for Business Intelligence and IOT are being run in the college under IBM Career Education Programs.

Faculty members are engaged actively in research work in various focus areas of their interest like algorithms, databases and data mining, big data analytics, network security, artificial intelligence, IoT, SDN and publishing papers in National and International conferences and indexed journals. Students have also chosen their technical focus areas and building up their knowledge and expertise in that direction by attending relevant workshops, seminars, conferences and developing small projects under faculty guidance.

Teaching and research apart, faculty is involved in counseling and career guidance of students. The students also undertake quality projects and publish papers at various prestigious conferences, paper presentation and design contests under the guidance of faculty members. Students of the department have excelled in their assignments in different organizations over the years. This fact is substantiated by the excellent placement records and the fact that large numbers of prestigious multinational companies are visiting the college for placements.

The department has strong alumni network, many of whom are serving on influential positions in multinational IT industry, academia, Govt. and public sectors.
