Private IT degrees in Sri Lanka – Cost and study options

September 26, 2011 By Achintha Bandara 2 Comments

    In Sri Lanka there are many ways to get an IT degree. Best opportunities are ready to be provided by several national and international educational institutions around the country. In this post we suggest some of the degrees and such institutions that you might consider when selecting an IT degree.

    The most economic way of doing an IT or computer science degree is to enter degree courses at a National University. UCSC (University of Colombo School of Computing) is the most popular option if you have obtained good Z score in local Advanced Level examination in physical science stream. University of Moratuwa has reputable computer engineering coursers for physical science students and even other students can enter their IT courses after an aptitude test. Other universities (Sri Jayewardenepura, Kelaniya etc.) also have IT and computer science degrees.


    However if you do not fulfill the entry requirements to above government universities, and still you keen studying IT as your tertiary education then you might turn yourself in to following private institutions.

    SLIIT, NIBM, IIT, ICBT, ANU, RI, IDM, and APIIT are some of such major institutes which cater IT degrees to the local students. Most of them are affiliated with reputed foreign universities where you can get an internationally recognized degree locally. You can either follow the full degree locally or can go abroad for completion. However as they are private institutions you might also need to know whether they suit to your budget or not. Therefore their fees and course costs along with the degrees provided given below might led you to the correct choice.
