The institute started offering a 4-year B.E. course in Information Technology when Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (then Nagpur University) for the first time introduced the said course in the year 1999. The Department of Information Technology played a lead role in framing the curriculum for the course in the University.

The course was offered initially with an annual intake of 60 students, which has presently been increased to 90 students.

The department hosts three well equipped and well furnished computer centres having computer systems with latest configurations. The department also hosts Microprocessors laboratory with 8085 and 8086 experimentation kits, micro-controller kits, peripheral add-ons and specialized experimentation setup (viz., 8055, 8059, 8279, and 8051, etc.) as required in the course curriculum.

The computer centres are well equipped with the latest software for conducting the laboratory practical/experimentation work of the curriculum, latest and up-to-date hardware and computer peripherals.

Over 120+ computer systems are networked with Wi-Fi connectivity. All computer centres share the Institute-wide Internet bandwidth of 2 Mbps. Central Computing facility is maintained by the department where the students can connect to the Internet during their off-hours.

A team of 16 dedicated and qualified teaching staff and 3 trained technical/support staff adds to the strength of the department and has a good mix of expertise and experience.

The department has been sponsoring the staff members for pursuing higher studies to IITs and NITs. The staff members are encouraged to participate and attend the FDPs, STTPs and Workshops.

The department with the Department of Computer Technology houses a Departmental Library having over 625+ titles covering diversified areas of computer science and information technology. Besides this a VCD collection of around 179+ VCDs by eminent IIT professors on subjects like Database Management Systems, Digital Image Processing, Software Engineering, Data Structures, etc., is also available for students and faculty. The students also have direct access to Project Reports of the previous years.

The department has been associated with IBM through their Centre of Excellence, established in the Department of Computer Technology. The staff and students of the department have been participating in DB2 and RAD certification programs organized by IBM and have been certified by IBM. The students of final year B.E. have been a part of IBM TGMC for past 3 years. Recently 2 teams have advanced into second round of TGMC-2010.

Our students have always made their presence felt among other engineering/technical institutes/colleges by securing university ranks in examinations. For them this has been a tradition.

Our alumni are working with software majors like Infosys, IBM, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Persistent Systems Pvt. Ltd., PCS, Syntel, etc. They have always been a source of inspiration and guidance for the persuing undergraduates.

Students, through INFOQUEST – the Information Technology Forum, are provided a platform to excel in areas other than academics and prepare them for the fierce competition. The forum has an Executive Body of students supervised by Staff-in-Charge(s). The activities are planned and executed by and for the upcoming technocrats to help sharpen their technical knowledge, inter-personal skills and aptitude through programming contests, seminars, quizzes, mock-interviews, etc.
