I think NIBM has the better pedigree as well as industry reach, since now it has been almost 45 years of NIBM existence , NIBM has produced great IT professionals, As a current Student there I can recommend NIBM , and machan I dnt think No other institute can give practical knowldge like NIBM and NIBM is 100% government organization
True that NIBM was there for 45 Years , And I really dnt want to start which institute is better argument coz that would not really help this Brother, But I want to make these suggestions to the community
SLIIT has lot of options for Degrees (IT, Networking, Information Systems, Electronic, Multimedia, Software Engineering etc.)
You can do SLIIT Degree, or you can transfer to some UK or USA Uni for further studies.
I only found these two in NIBM which apprantly is more focused in IS where SLIIT offers more IT related and Networking related Courses
- BSc in Management Information Systems (conducted in collaboration with University College Dublin, National University of Ireland, Dublin)
- BSc in Management Information Systems – Special Degree (UGC Approved)
Also SLIIT normally has Student capacity of 5000 to 6000 at any given point of time and grant the IT industry of Sri Lanka with 1000+ Graduates each Year, So we are covering lots of ground.
I think the future and the present is with SLIIT
This my personnal experience and since been in IT field for last 4 to 5 Years I think I can express this opinion
but then again others are entitled to their own opinions
any way Brother its your choice this is just a guidence
