Polytechnic College – Karbala

About the Department

The department was established in 1999, with a minimum of 40 students accepted each year. At that time, economic conditions were challenging due to the insufficient number of computers and devices, which limited the department’s ability to accommodate more students compared to the present. The evening study program was introduced in the academic year 2000-2001 in response to the demand from various sectors, as the job market needed specialists to keep up with the scientific advancements in the field of computing and informatics. The department has organized numerous specialized training courses, both introductory and advanced, in computer use and software applications for different segments of society, including the unemployed and various government departments such as the Health Department, Post, and Telecommunications in Karbala Province. The department aims to provide scientific and consulting services related to computing and informatics to government agencies.
