Information Technology, including database, design, support, administration of computer etc, plays a crucial role in the era of Internet. One cannot deny the fact that advancements in Information Technology have brought the world closer. Today, this field finds its application in several sectors, including:

1. Telecommunications- Information Technology has opened the doors to new aspects in the telecommunications sector. For example, the computer is connected to the telephone network to exchange messages via Email.
2. USB flash drive- Flash drive has dominated all CDROM, floppy drives etc in transferring enormous data (that too in few seconds).
3. Education- Computer plays a vital role in the management of educational institutes. It can make tasks such as preparation of timetables, organising question banks etc an easier one. Also, by using the computer one can easily explain the most difficult topics in terms of video.
4. Medicine- In medical equipment such as ECG machines, a computer chip is used. The computer is also connected to the body of the patient to monitor the health condition. Vision testing, blood pressure analysis etc is also done using Information technology.

With the increase in popularity of information technology, the research in this field has been increased gradually. As per a report, 32% of the scholars are conducting research in this field. Plenty of researchers are aspiring to perform research in this field and are looking forward to choosing a topic that delivers news breaking result. However, choosing a ‘hot’ and novel topic is not as easy as pie. This is because thousands of researches have been conducted in this domain giving less space for new topics to emerge in.  

Are you one among the research scholars who are looking forward to conducting research in Information Technology and build your academic career? Then check out the latest trending topics in the IT field.

1. In IT based framework in medical application in relation to blockchain technology
2. Deep learning network based traffic flow prediction for two-wheeler assistance for smart city applications.
3. Cloud security improve using multifaceted authentication scheme with the help of optimal key management.
4. Identifying travel pattern behaviour exploiting public smart card data for determining traffic flow using CNN.

Remember, nothing is more important than choosing the right research topic in your PhD journey. Hence, make sure you select a unique, interesting and reachable topic that has the potential to make a significant contribution to the existing knowledge in the IT field.
