The overall goal of the Master of Technology in Information Technology (M.Tech. in IT) degree program is to provide master's level instruction in cutting edge computing technology. The program strives to meet the growing global demand for IT professionals who can draw upon a unique combination of technical and theoretical skills to design, implement, maintain and administer IT projects. The program offers project based courses in IT and is designed to satisfy not only the post baccalaureate development of working professionals, but also new graduates who want to set up careers in IT sector. M.Tech. in IT program is designed for students who already hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Information Technology, Computer Science, Management of Information Systems, or any related area. Graduates will have the opportunity to study systems and database design, client/server applications, desktop applications, web applications, web services, networks along with analysis and ethical practices in the IT field. M.Tech. in IT program is a non-thesis option which consists of four core courses plus six elective courses and a term project in its curriculum.

Admission Requirements
The applicants are required to hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in Information Technology, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Management of Information Systems, or any related area. Other candidates are required to complete some deficiency/bridging courses in order to be admitted to the master degree program. The number of deficiency/bridging courses depends upon the undergraduate discipline of the candidate and is decided by the Information Technology Graduate Committee. Those who do not satisfy the admission conditions will be required to attend an interview which will be held by the Information Technology Graduate Committee. In this case, the admission of the student will be decided after the interview and if admitted, the number of deficiency courses will be decided accordingly.
