With the vision of rebuilding an international centre for Buddhist studies similar to Nalanda University in India, Venerable Dr. Bodagama Chandima Nayaka Thera established Nagananda International Institute for Buddhist Studies (NIIBS) in the year 2014. To achieve his vision, Ven. Dr. Bodagama Chandima Nayaka Thera realized the modern technology has to be incorporated within NIIBS. Therefore, the SICT was established at NIIBS which not only provides state of art modern Information Communication Technology (ICT) services to the university, but also conducts academic programmes in the field of ICT.

SICT is equipped with state of art IT equipment, computer laboratories and a highly qualified, experienced team of experts.

SICT has partnered with like-minded academic institutions and industrial organizations both locally and internationally to provide high quality learning experience and industrial exposure to our students.

SICT intends to create graduates who are experts in their respective fields but also honest, responsible, enthusiastic, assertive, emotionally mature, confident and values professionalism. All our courses are designed and developed in accordance with Sri Lanka Qualification Framework as well as industry standards such as IEEE.

SICT conducts research programmes in the areas of ICT, social media, informatics, robotics, drone technology and artificial intelligence. Over 400 students have registered to follow Certificate, Advanced Certificate, Diploma and Bachelors Honours degree courses related to ICT at the SICT at present.
