About SCIT

SCIT was the brainchild of Dr. S.B. Mujumdar in 1997. He realized that the Infotech Revolution that was underway, required quality professionals to sustain it. SCIT was born with this focus - to produce top quality IT professionals with sound training in current technologies.

SCIT has decided to stay autonomous from any university because they believe that IT education should be like IT -- dynamic and ever changing. The two year Masters Program in Information Technology (MPIT) at SCIT has three specializations - Network and Database Administration, Web Technologies and Software Development Methodologies, the first such course in India.
