ABOUT DEPARTMENT:

The Department of Information Technology at the Ramapuram Campus was founded in 2005. Today, the most active engineering profession is most certainly information technology. IT is an academic subject that focuses on meeting user demands by selecting, developing, using, integrating, and administering computing technology. The department works with a number of well-known software companies, including TCS, HCL, and Infosys, and the students and faculty benefit immensely from this industry-institute collaboration. We continue to support various research endeavours that help society through our teachers and students, thanks to our partnership with DST, MHRD, and the Tamil Nadu State Government. We often organise outreach and extension initiatives for societal development.

 

ABOUT CHAT:

One of the most active groups at SRMIST is CHAT (Community of Hackers and Advanced Technologists). We are particularly interested in raising awareness among consumers about cyber and technology hazards. Our group is well-versed in the latest technological advancements. The major goal is to donate our efforts to this society in order to assist them in making judicious use of technology. Our action plan involves a series of hands-on sessions with a webinar, followed by numerous activities that will let participants think outside the box and work in a group setting where they can learn from one another. CHAT is particularly interested in cyber security and other emerging technology. CHAT has over 100 members, has hosted over 20 events with an attendance of over 5000 people, has a technical blog with over 1500 subscribers, and is also building an "anonymous crime reporting platform" on which users may report various sorts of crime and tip-offs. CHAT is one of the coordinators of Aurganon '21, a national-level technological symposium organised by the SRMISTIST department of IT.
