Kerala is considered as the land of letters. The percentage of literacy in the state is 93%. There are numerous formal educational institutions, schools and colleges in the state. Graduation and Diploma courses in Engineering Technology are offered to students after competitive examinations and only those who have secured high grades can join these professional courses. Unemployment among graduated youth is very high in Kerela. The right course for the right job is seldom offered. The importance of computer training courses that average students can undergo is to be taken into account, to solve this crucial unemployment of educated youth.

The computer training wing of Nirmalagiri College was inaugurated on 16^th August 1991 by the former labour minister of Kerala Sri. N. Ramakrishnan. Situated in an independant and new building, the section is enriched with well designed class rooms, well equipped laboratory with a host of computers and a well-furnished library. This was made possible incurring heavy expenses to cater to the ever growing and never dying demand from the seekers of professional courses and advanced vocational training.

In the wake of globalization, the students have to cope up with international requirements in IT field by acquiring highly technical and internationally certified courses.
