After acquiring the Autonomous status the department has established laboratory to offer Spoken Tutorials which are being offered by IIT Bombay to make students understand the various methodologies on programming. Good numbers of books and journals have been procured in the department & main library for the purpose of study and research among the students and faculty.

As part of the curriculum the department offers C#&.NET and SAP-ABAP for the students Industry-ready. The unique feature of the department is that the students have taken challenge to work on parallel programming on the crazyequipment like Sony Play station, Beowulf Cluster, NVIDIA & AMD graphics cards along with the suitable programming tools.

In order to make the students to understand the importance of designing and testing, apart from programming, department provides the facility to work on the tools: Rational Rose, Rational Functional Tester, and Rational Quality Manager.

IT Department’s Alumni plays a vital role to work for the benefit of their parent institution in terms of the conducting workshops and training programmes on Industry-level tools &technologies, mentoring the student projects
& assignments. Periodically they conduct the mock-interviews at the college, at their own place and even through the Skype and Google Hangouts. They have played a major role in designing the industry-cum research based curriculum for the Autonomous syllabus, which they continuously evaluate at the Industry perspective too. Through the alumni IT Department has got the association with the EMC Academic Alliance which offers their Cloud computing-based courses. Through this association a group of faculty got trained, who in-turn trains the remaining faculty and students.
