Course Overview

About MSc in IT Course

MSc in IT is a 2-year full-time postgraduate degree that builds your understanding of how software, data and computer systems are designed, built and maintained, with IT as the main subject through all 4 semesters.

Each semester pairs IT theory with daily programming labs, database and query practice and web or application development. On completion you receive MSc from MIT University Sikkim.

Why students choose MSc in IT

  • A single clear subject focus: IT, studied properly for 2 years rather than spread thin.
  • Practical work every semester — daily programming labs, database and query practice and web or application development — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
  • Subject choices that stay relevant: IT: Advanced Theory & Practice, IT: Applied / Industry Track and IT: Research & Analytics Track.
  • A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
  • Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.

What you will be able to do

  • Write clean, working code in more than one language in the context of IT.
  • Design and query a database in the context of IT.
  • Build and deploy a small application end to end in the context of IT.
  • Debug, test and document your own work in the context of IT.
  • Complete an independent IT dissertation from question to final defence.
