IIT graduates are an asset says satisfied employer

A popular saying holds that employees are what make the Company. This is true even in today’s technologically advanced world. No matter how many computers, programmes and other sophisticated machinery are used, the Company owning these would be nothing without the driving force of its employees.

At the Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) this practical knowledge together with other equally important practicalities are drilled into the students from the very beginning. This is because IIT being an important contributor to the IT industry employee work force understands that theoretical knowledge will only suffice to direct you on to the correct path, however it is the practical knowledge dissemination that will ensure you are able to follow through and reach the end of the journey.
