CITC Mission
Provide quality education and training in the field of Information and Technology, Communication and Computing responsive to the technological and entrepreneurial demands of today's global community brought about by rapid globalization.

Message From The Department Head

Welcome to the IT Department—where we turn caffeine into code, ideas into innovation, and occasionally, Wi-Fi issues into tech emergencies!
As your Chairperson, my passion lies in IoT, Data Science, and computer vision—basically, making machines see, think, and sometimes even judge our coding habits. But beyond the tech, my goal is to help you bridge complex concepts with real-world applications, ensuring that what you learn isn’t just theory, but a tool to build the future.
So stay curious, break things (but fix them too), and remember—Google is your friend, but understanding the code is even better! Let’s push the boundaries of tech together.
