INTRODUCTION

The B.Sc.(Information Technology) and B.Sc.(Information Technology) (Honors/Research) is specially structured three and four years program respectively with Information Technology as a major subject under the faculty of Science and Technology. The objective of the course is to think analytically, creatively and critically in developing robust, extensible and highly maintainable technological solutions to simple and complex problems or to pursue advance studies and research in Information Technology. The syllabus which comprises of Information Technology covers the key aspects of Information Technology and also develops the necessary professional skills and problem solving abilities using Information Technology.

Information Technology is the study of quantity, structure, space and change, focusing on problem solving, application development with wider scope of application in science, engineering, technology, social sciences etc. throughout the world in last couple of decades and it has carved out a space for itself like any other disciplines of basic Science and Technology. The students completing this programme will be able to present software application clearly and precisely, make abstract ideas precise by formulating them in the computer languages. Completion of this programme will also enable the learners to join teaching profession, enhance their employability for government jobs, jobs in software industry, banking, insurance and investment sectors, data analyst jobs and jobs in various other public and private enterprises. 

At the First year, course is based on problem solving and programming. Primary Concepts of Python Programming, Computer Networking, Cloud Computing and DBMS are also introduced in course. The practical courses are designed to support the theoretical training in the year. Along with Information Technology (Major), VSC and SEC courses helps in building a personality. Another Aspect of this course is IKS which tells about the rich heritage and advancement of India in the field of computation. 

At the second year, computational problem solving skills are further strengthened by course in Object Oriented Programming using python, Wireless Networking, Public Cloud, Software Engineering. 

At the third year, all the courses are designed to fulfil core Information technology requirements as well as the needs of the IT industry. Major elective courses are taking care of recent trends in the field of Information Technology. Minor and skills Enhancement courses enable the students to acquire additional skills. 

At the fourth year (Honors) and (Research), all the subjects are designed to fulfil core Information Technology requirements as well as meet the needs of the IT industry. Practical courses and field projects enable students to get hands on training. Numerous learning tracks are open through major elective courses. Research Methodology course will create interest among a student to bring research in the field of Information Technology.
