Seminar Program
The seminar program is an integral part of the Masters of Information Technology (Computer Networks) degree. The program covers ethical, professional, and social issues relevant to the information technology industry in an interactive tutorial delivery mode. Tutorials are held throughout the year and attendance at four tutorials within the duration of the course is a hurdle requirement of this program. Students who have not met this hurdle requirement will not qualify for their degree and will not be permitted to graduate.
