Yes, a Master's in AI & ML after doing an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is a popular course of academics in India. To be eligible for a PG degree in AI & ML, a minimum aggregate score of 40% - 50% is required. Depending upon the institute, the BTech score could be considered for entrance, or candidates might have to appear for exams like GATE.

Yes, Mangalore has more flexible options than most students know about. Several BTech colleges in Mangalore offer direct admissions, particularly under management quota or merit-based seats, without requiring entrance exam scores.

So while direct admission is possible at many private colleges, having a good entrance exam score always opens up better options.

It has a beautiful campus spread over 295 acres on the Arabian Sea with a good placement record from corporates like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Nvidia. Admission is only through JEE Main and JoSAA counselling, so a competitive rank in JEE is a must to get admission in this institute.
