Most Diploma in IT programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means software development, databases, web technologies and networking, with more weight on applying computing to business systems. Typical first jobs: software developer, IT consultant, network or systems administrator.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Surya Group of Institutions for the current semester-wise plan.
