The Department of Information Technology (IT) was established in the year 2022 with the primary objective of generating human resources with professional expertise and skills in IT. The department offers an U.G. Degree programme, B.Tech Information Technology with a sanctioned intake of 120 students. A team of highly qualified faculty members and well-equipped laboratories and excellent academic environment collectively contribute the students for acquiring technical skills and inculcate the spirit of team work and to update their knowledge in recent technological developments. The curriculum update and modernization of the labs are upgraded periodically so as to keep the students well informed about the latest trends at the global level. The careers in Information Technology deals with the design, creation, management and maintenance of the varied components of the system. The students are encouraged to be a part of professional bodies like Computer Society of India, ISTE and IEEE.

Innovative Teaching
The department initiates innovative methods to make the students actively participate in the teaching-learning process through student centric learning activities such as google class room, audio/video lecturers, peer to peer learning, role play, demonstration of model, Inquiry based learning, collaborative learning etc.,
Google Classroom
The google classroom label describes the teaching structure that has students watching pre-recorded lessons at home and completing in-class assignments, as opposed to hearing lectures in class and doing homework at home. Teachers who implement the google classroom model often film their own instructional videos, but many also use pre-made videos from online sources.
Peer to Peer Learning
Three or four like-minded students are pooled together to form a group and to help each other in academic activities to excel in University examinations. The members of each group coordinate their efforts by producing quality output of the task given to them. Every member of the group shares his/her knowledge and ideas with other members of the group. It enhances individual’s knowledge and skills and inculcates team work and leadership quality. Peer to Peer review is obtained through which students are actively involved in their own learning and establishing a connection between the learner and the learning object.
Role play
An important key element to understand the concepts. In this activity a group of students are actively involved to demonstrate a particular concept in action. This will help the students to comprehend the topics with ease. The purpose of these activities is to ensure tracking students development, revealing the learning progress, highlighting the best work and involving the students in assessment process.
Demonstration of models
The real time working models are demonstrated in the class to connect the tangible model with the theoretical concept. This helps the students to easily understand the working principles of electrical engineering components.
Inquiry-based Learning
Encouraging students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas that helps in improving their problem-solving skills
Collaborative learning
Collaboration allows students to actively participate in the learning process by talking with each other and listening to others opinions. Collaboration establishes a personal connection between students and the topic of study and it helps students think in a less personally biased way. Group projects and discussions are the topics . Teachers may employ collaboration to assess student’s abilities to work as a team, leadership skills, or presentation abilities
