There are so many changes taking place in the education
system. Present generation students can no longer follow the old practices.
They have to sharpen their skills according to the changing trends and
competition for successful career. They should have good presentation skills and
should also have the ability to identify problems and gather required
information to solve the problem on their own. Team spirit is also very much
important along with technical skills. There is a Chinese proverb that “We
forget anything we listen, can remember if we see and can understand if we do
the thing”. So by understanding the problem students can actually improve their
skills in working out to find a solution. Even educationists say that instead
of relying on others for solutions those who use their brains in solving problems
are more successful in their careers.
So this MSIT course is all about improving technical
skills, presentation skills, team work, and positive attitude in students along
with preparing them to work in any conditions.
