Department of Information Technology
The Department of Information Technology of MEA Engineering College was established in 2002 by the affiliation
of University of Calicut. The department is now affiliated to APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University
(APJKTU). The fast changing scenario in Information Technology necessitates the Department to actively extend its
research and development activities.
The program offers emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data science, IoT etc. We support students
for improving their technical skills by providing internships in various companies and training programs inside and
outside the Campus. The Department has well qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty having expertise in
various technologies. The qualities inculcated in students make them not only good engineers but also good human
beings. The Department takes pride in placing students in reputed companies all over the country.
