Studies to run the hardware–software system. The study culture and the student culture become the critical decision inputs for information technology decision. The information technology decision is made for the current needs as well as for futuristic needs of the organization. Information technology as a recent manpower – intensive technology promises to address the exclusive employment problem with tremendous job opportunities and current prospects.

3. Course projects should preferably contain elements of the problems encountered by the participants in their daily activities.
4. Experts who are more touch with computers are consisted for training.
