The Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) once again bagged multiple accolades at the recently concluded National Best Quality Software Awards 2015.
This was sixth year IIT Campus has been adjudicated as a winner at NBQSA since the competitions inception in 1998.
This year Samiyuru Senarathne from IIT bagged the Silver Award in the Tertiary category for the Best Open Source Technology Product. The product was a CGUi Tool chain for Developing Customized Graphical User Interfaces for Multiple Platforms.
Samiyuru was the only individual competitor under the Tertiary Category of the NBQSA 2015 that contended against teams representing several prominent companies and universities.
Along with Samiyuru two teams representing IIT Campus received merit awards under the Tertiary Category of the NBQSA 2015. IIT Campus students Sumal Perera, Devmie Wannakuwatte and Sajith Mendis received a merit award for their product Bunny Raptor OCR, while Kripa Jayakumar, Sahan Bakmiwewa and Jayanga Kaushalya also bagged a merit award for their product Drogo.
At last year’s NBQSA, Geraldine Hashani Fernando also an IIT student bagged the Silver Award for her project known as the DroidCard. Her product was conceptualized with the aim of mitigating crimes, risks and issues related to physical bank cards and were based on the concept of having virtual bank cards on mobile phones, which can be communicated with ATMs via a secured NFC channel. This system also enables remote access during the theft of a mobile phone and consists of decision making and data analysis features for added security.
Early, this year IIT Campus students set a new record at the Microsoft Imagine Cup Sri Lanka finals by being the only higher education institution to win in all three categories with seven teams representing IIT winning six awards.
With 25 years of educational excellence, IIT has annexed an eminent position by being an unmatched pioneer in Sri Lanka’s private tertiary education sector in the field of IT and Business that awards internationally reputed British degrees from the University of Westminster.
The University of Westminster degrees offered at IIT include Software Engineering, Information System with Business Management (ISBM) and Computer Science with specialization pathways in gaming and computer graphics development, mobile and web computing and multimedia computing. One of the key benefits of these degree programmes is that it displays much emphasis on theory and hands-on experience ensuring that students are fully immersed in the practical aspects of the subjects.
The campus also offers postgraduate programmes such as MSc in Advanced Software Engineering and MSc Software Engineering offered by the University of Westminster.
Apart from academic knowledge, IIT also places great importance in Soft Skill Development, Team work, Motivational projects, Presentation skills and other professional attitudes by encouraging students to take part in national and international competitions such as Microsoft Imagine Cup, National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA), Google Summer of Code and e-Swabhimani in which IIT has won many accolades at these competitions.
IIT graduates have a 100 percent employment guarantee as the students have been given valuable work experience during their placement year. With its strong international affiliations, outstanding resources and focus on quality higher education, IIT is without a doubt an ideal place for students to obtain world renowned IT and Business degrees.
