Information Technology Department at SVIT, Vasad made a modest start in late nineties in the field of Engineering and Technology. The Bachelor of Engineering course in I.T Department started in 1998 with vision of providing quality education and skilled manpower to the Industry with the Initial intake of 40 seats. The department started expanding the wings by increasing the intake to 60 seats in 1999. Looking at the future potential of this discipline and the increasing manpower requirements for the technology in country, the intake went on increasing to 90 seats in 2001 and to 120 seats in 2011. The biggest achievement of the department came in 2009, when it was accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA).

Technology has integrated itself into nearly every aspect of our lives, and with the cost of cyber crimes exceeding $100 billion each year, the need for increased security along with knowledgeable cyber security specialists has become critical. With the increasing demand in Cyber Crime Security, the Information Technology Department at SVIT, Vasad demanded to start the Masters of Engineering Programme in “Information and Cyber Warfare” and got the approval for similar specialization in Master of Engineering in Programme in “Systems and Network Security” in 2013 with the Intake of 18 seats. The goal of this programme is to develop highly qualified technical experts to meet the demands of the national, regional and international workplace for information and network security. The M.E programme provides opportunity to the students to explore and excel in various fields of research by applying the fundamentals gained in their yearlong dissertation.
