The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) has announced BTech in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence programme for the academic year 2019-20. The students can log on to the website www.iiitd.ac.in to get more details about the eligibility criteria and admission process.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of technology in our daily lives. With its rapid adoption, there is a significant requirement of researchers and technologists who can build AI technologies. Being one of a kind course in India, IIIT-Delhi’s BTech in CSAI programme will provide students an opportunity to learn both foundational and practical components of AI and Machine Learning. Presently, only a few universities offer four-year engineering course dedicated to Artificial Intelligence.
Highlighting the importance of the course, Professor Ranjan Bose, Director, IIIT-Delhi, said: “Even though many institutions today are embracing AI-powered products and applications, still there is a scarcity of job-ready talents who can engineer home-grown AI technologies. The objective behind offering this course is to equip our future engineers with expertise in AI so that we can also significantly contribute towards ground-breaking development and innovation in the field.”
A student completing this programme will be able to build a career in varied industries as well as can become a researcher in niche AI-related fields such as computer vision, robotics and many others.
