Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Launches BTech, MTech in AI and Data Science at Faridabad Campus

Admissions for these two innovative programs are already underway. Admission to BTech course is based on scores from either JEE or Amrita Entrance Examination – Engineering (AEEE).

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has announced the launch of BTech and MTech programs in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at its campus at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad.

Talking about the innovative programs in AI and Data Science, Prof. Kamal Bijlani, Dean, School of Artificial Intelligence, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, said: “The importance of AI in education and industry has been growing steadily. With the advent of Generative AI and free AI tools in the market like ChatGPT (OpenAI, Microsoft), Gemini (Google), Llama (Meta) and others, the battle between the AI technology giants to gain the lead in Generative AI has intensified. In this AI industrial revolution, every organization will want to use AI tools to provide quick precise answers based on its own private data. To achieve this, organizations will need to add an AI team that provides AI tools and maintains its data on GPU-based private AI servers.”

Prof. Bijlani added, “Amrita’s role is to be a catalyst to provide the industry ready skilled AI engineers that will create, maintain and enhance the AI ecosystem of an organization. The new brand of dynamic AI engineers will need to continuously update their skills since the AI technology is evolving rapidly. The intent of providing these innovative AI courses in the Delhi NCR area is to provide a pool of AI engineers, and create a research-based ecosystem of AI collaboration with government and industry.

The core computer science courses form the foundation of the program. Based on this foundation, the basic and advanced AI courses like Machine Learning will be taught, including several concepts of mathematics like Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. Depending on the interest of students, specialization in robotics, IoT, AR/VR, medical applications and other areas will be offered. Emphasis will be on hands-on mini-projects and the use of AR/VR in learning. Our collaboration with universities like Stanford, UC Davis and IIT-Bombay will provide mentoring and research opportunities for students.”

Prof. Praveen Bist, Registrar (Asst.), School of Artificial Intelligence, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham said, “Students would get many advantages by studying at our campus at Amrita Hospital in Faridabad, which is among the largest healthcare facilities in the country. The hospital provides large number of opportunities for conducting various AI pilot projects. The students would get exposed to the operations of a large healthcare network, thereby getting actual industry exposure on a continuous basis.”  

Admissions for these two innovative programs are already underway. Admission to BTech course is based on scores from either JEE or Amrita Entrance Examination – Engineering (AEEE).
