About the Department
Department of IT started its journey in 1998 with an intake of 40 students. Currently, the intake is 180 students. It has eight well-equipped laboratories for the subjects namely Numerical Analysis, Operating System, Computer Networking, Computer Organization, Computer Architecture, Java, C, Python, Data Structure, Algorithms, Software Engineering, Database Management System, etc. Department aims to apply the knowledge and experience on students by concentrating on their overall development which will help them meet the present and future requirements of the IT Industries.
Department of Information Technology
Dr. Shankar Mukherjee
Head of the DepartmentThe aim of the department is to provide education of quality and training to the students with dedicated young energetic faculty members, technical staff, well-equipped laboratories, and innovative academic processes. The students from the department have left a deep and indelible impression of obtaining their ranks on the national level and I am sure that in times to come the students will make an indelible mark on the international level In the field of Information Technology and they will bring laurels for themselves as well as for their families and for the Institution, Asansol Engineering College, to which they belong. My appeal to all the Alumni is to come up with new initiatives with their professional excellence to conduct Seminars, Workshops, and Professional contests, etc. Our students are trained in both software and hardware skills and basic inputs are provided to make their self-confidence so that they can accept challenges and we also encourage them to participate in various technical and extracurricular events.
