SCOPE: This degree programme is run by Indira Gandhi National Open University and St. Xavier’s Technical Institute is the only Tele Learning Centre of IGNOU in Mumbai. Students who successfully complete BIT are eligible for direct admission to the 2nd Year MCA of IGNOU.

Students also have an option to apply for HND (Higher National Diploma) offered by Edexcel Foundation U.K. which is awarded after successful completion of the first 5 trimesters.

The admissions are conducted by IGNOU with an entrance test. The teaching is done from Delhi to a “virtual classroom” spread across the country. The Tele Learning Centre at X-TECH has a direct satellite link to receive the live video broadcast of the lecture with the audio link to New Delhi for students’ questions on the spot.

IGNOU is the only University in India allowed by the UGC to offer the B.I.T. degree.
