The Department of Information Technology at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering and Research (PCCOE&R) was established in the year 2022-23 with an intake of 60 students in undergraduate degree programme.
PCCOE&R works on student-centric Four-Pillar philosophy which includes academic excellence, professional competence, research and innovation and social commitment.
Department runs a UG programme in Information Technology, which is 4 years, 8 semesters full time programme. Department has adequate number of self-motivated, experienced and qualified faculty members and supporting staff.
The department fosters a research and innovation-friendly atmosphere, providing students with guidance for publishing papers, filing intellectual property rights (IPRs), and creating products.
A variety of workshops, seminars, industrial training programs, guest lectures, and expert talks are regularly organized to enrich students' knowledge and keep them abreast of the latest technologies. The department has the Information Technology Students' Association (ITSA), which orchestrates a range of technical and non-technical activities to engage and empower students.
