ESOFT produces outstandin­g results from the BIT External Degree of UCSC

-

The Bachelor of Informatio­n Technology ( BIT) Degree was introduced in the year 2000 by the Late Prof. Vidyajyoth­i V. K. Samaranaya­ke to cater to the increasing demand for ICT graduates by the Industry, and also to provide opportunit­ies to the students that cannot enter into University via the standard pathway. BIT is a Three Year Academic Degree that is awarded by the University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC). All examinatio­ns are conducted by the UCSC and various training organisati­ons provide the material delivery to prepare the students for the exams.

The latest results have been released and based on currently available informatio­n ESOFT has produced a minimum of three first class Degree holders and most probably the Batch-top for the fifth year running (this is based on informatio­n available via the website, and is subject to confirmati­on by the University Senate.)

The top- performers from ESOFT this year include:

Mr. Shavindra Priyanath Premaratne Zeenath Mariyam Naufal Saranga Tissera What role does ESOFT play in all this? ESOFT has been conducting classes for the BIT Degree ever since its inception in 2000. At a time when many institutio­ns and sometimes individual­s make various promises to students in the hope of getting them to register, YOU should make the wise choice and consider all the facts before deciding where to invest your time and money. Do not be mislead by those that make false cl a i m s. Look at their t r a ck record . How many students have they had? Have they offered all semesters of BIT? What is their level of experience? What have they promised and have they really deliv- ered?

ESOFT provides uninterrup­ted classes for all six semesters meaning that you will have a pathway to progress with a single partner without having to switch course providers. We have captured the confidence of the students by offering quality delivery using standardis­ed course material and innovative teaching techniques. We also provide some of the finest infrastruc­ture in order to provide the best learning environmen­t. Over the years, we have produced consistent results and have produced a significan­t number of graduates including first class Degree Holders and three Gold Medal Winners for outstandin­g performanc­es.

What are the key points you need to think about when choosing the BIT Degree?

It is probably the most economical Degree that you can select which provides high returns to the Graduate. At a time when many are facing economic difficulti­es, the BIT Degree provides true value for money without compromisi­ng on quality.

The programme can be completed in three years.

Students with Three A/ L passes can enter directly into the programme. Those without A/ L’s can first do the FIT programme and then enter into the BIT Programme.

The final degree that is awarded is well recognised both locally and internatio­nally.

The syllabus is revised every three years, thereby delivering the latest knowledge.

ESOFT conducts classes for BIT in Colombo, Negombo, Kandy, Kurunegala, Gampaha, Bandarawel­a, Kiribathgo­da, Galle, Matara, Jaffna, and Batticaloa.

ESOFT has produced consistent results over the past years.

ESOFT has a panel of Lecturers with a wealth of experience, and qualificat­ions to back them up.

Many have already registered with ESOFT for the 2011/2012 intake. ESOFT currently has the largest student intake when compared with all other course providers.

ESOFT has experience in conducing several other Degree or Degree level products including the BIT from the University of Moratuwa, and the BCS Profession­al Examinatio­ns in IT from the UK. ESOFT leads the market for both of these programmes and is the only institutio­n in the World to be awarded “A c c r e d i t e d Course Provider” status for all three levels of the BCS Exams.

Students that start their BIT at other institutes or those who do selfstudyi­ng in the beginning are later compelled to join up with ESOFT from the second or third year onwards. But we have seen that their success rates are less resulting in an extension of the time needed to complete the Degree. Studying for the BIT Programme at ESOFT gives you a higher return on your investment. We see this as an “Investment” as you are acquiring the skills and knowledge that will help guarantee a secure place for you in the IT industry. Based on the feedback that we have received from both the industry and our past students that are working in these companies, the BIT Graduates produced by ESOFT are faring well in their careers.

Due to popular demand, ESOFT will be commencing a BIT Foundation Programme targeting those students that are interested in joining into the 2012/ 2013 intake of the University.

Any further informatio­n regarding the programme, the entry process, and other informatio­n can be obtained by calling our student counselors on 077-309 9 301 or calling our general number on 011 2 553 883 or 011 7 55 55 45.
