IT significantly affects strategic options and creates opportunities and issues that need to be addressed in many aspects of their business.

The B.Tech (IT) is a 4-year degree program in Vidya College of Engineering and the students are given theoretical and hands-on training in Programming Techniques, Database Management System, Microprocessors, Operating Systems and other Application Software. The department provides state-of-the-art computing facilities by providing about 300 computers. There are number of programming languages and front-end tools like C,C++, Java, VB.Net, Developer 2000, etc. and back-end like MS Access, SQL Server, Oracle 9i & 10g, etc. are used for software development.

A 24-hour Internet facility is provided to students. The syllabi of B. Tech (IT) are regularly updated to keep pace with the latest developments in the Industry. The faculty of the department undertakes an active interest in various research areas like Software Engineering, Computer Networks, Optimization Methods and Parallel Algorithm. The faculty regularly attends various International/National Conferences/Symposia and Workshops to keep themselves updated.
