Uttarakhand Open University is a other institute, founded in 2005. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Uttarakhand Open University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

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 Uttarakhand Open University for the current semester-wise plan.
