Today, IT sector is one of the biggest and the fastest growing sectors. Its reach in the fields of technology, business, manufacturing, medicine, education and even social relations, is enormous. But there's a considerable fact that the percentage of women software developers is hardly 37%, as very few institutions exist which are devoted to leading women into the realm of IT. There is a severe shortage of IT professional.
To fill this gap, a large pool of educated women can be quickly trained as IT professionals. But there is a lack of world class centres dedicated exclusively promoting women's education in IT. Artech, an IT multinational with presence in USA as well as China has sponsored this centre providing the world class facilities.
The centre is well equipped with the latest technological aids to impart better/faster education, such as internally networked specialized computer laboratories, communication lab, software engineering lab, VLSI design lab and multimedia laboratory. Equipped with gigabit LAN and high bandwidth Internet connectivity, it also offers videoconferencing-ready seminar room and hi-tech lecture rooms and library.
