About the Programme

Technology is defined as the application of Basic Science. The past two revolutions, industrial and electronic, have transformed the society from agricultural to industrial and then to electronic. The electronically based technologies focused in information gathering, processing and distribution. The use of this technology in all sectors gave the birth to Computer Industry and its unprecedented growth launched another revolution in Communication.

The radical changes in technologies, hardware as well as software and their ever increasing adaptation to newer areas of application, demand frequent updating of the academic curriculum so that the students can rise to the expectation of the Industry.
