IIITM-K to offer courses in open mode

Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: As part of its move to promote quality education, the State-owned Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K) is offering several of its classroom courses in open mode. The subject areas to be covered range from IT, programming to eco-informatics.

This year, the institute has opened its doors for professionals pursuing their career in and around the Technopark where they are in a position to spare a few hours every week for studies and upgrade their knowledge and skills in the field. In a semi-flexible manner, they will be able to complete adequate number of credits through different courses, complete relevant project or term paper work and obtain the PGDIT.

While the institute is offering this open PGDIT programme, it is also upgrading its present PGDIT to a full-time M.Tech. programme. With Technopark’s working population of 15,000 and growing further, the new open PGDIT programme will help a number of professionals in the IT industry to advance their capabilities. This ensures rigorous instructional delivery with some degree of flexible timing. Registration for the courses will commence from January 2, 2008.
