The present need of the industry is challenging in that engineers must possess a combination of sound technical background and IT skills. At the Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, we strive to forge the young students first as competent engineers and then imbibe the present day necessity of IT skills into them, whereby they are fully equipped to take up the challenges of the industry. Our philosophy is to shape up good and useful engineers and not just graduates. Our students are made to face the industry head on by way of numerous industrial projects which expose them to the state-of-the art technology. We boast the highest on campus recruitment and a vast majority of our graduates are accepted by reputed American universities for higher studies. We have tie-ups with various industries and educational institutions for transfer of technology. It is therefore not surprising that we get students from all parts of India. We never cease to cope up with the changing needs of the industry and have started post graduate programs. Our principal asset is the highly qualified faculty members, majority of them with international exposure and our fully equipped laboratories. Students and guardians are encouraged to have continuous interaction with the faculty for a seamless understanding of the students progress. We give a keen emphasis on individual student counseling.
