ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The department of Information Technology was established in the year of 1998 with an intake of 60 students in UG. It was approved by Madras University, Chennai in the year 1998. The Department is NBA accredited in the year 2009 and 2013 and the division has an ISO 9001:2015 certification as well. The department is equipped with fully established IT Network Laboratory. The Society of IT is regularly organizing seminars, Guest lectures and Industrial Visits for the benefit of student community. Our Department and faculties has been a member of reputed societies such Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), Indian Society for technical education (ISTE), Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE), Computer Society of India (CSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IIRS Outreach Programme Nodal centre. The department of information technology at Anna University gives equal weight to theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject. The department has cutting edge equipment in a number of laboratories, a well-furnished e-learning-supportive laboratory, classrooms, and a department library. Our institution sponsors periodic guest lectures, practical training sessions, and seminars for students to enhance their academic program. This makes it easier for our students to keep up with industry expectations for knowledge.
