The curriculum includes four core theory courses and three core lab courses to lay strong foundations for the students. There is a wide variety of specialized electives encompassing many areas of Artificial Intelligence and data science. The MTech project requires the student to spend one year on a substantial research topic.
The centre offers a dual-degree (M.Tech) program in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Applications for students of IITKGP who are currently enrolled in 4-year UG programs in any department that have partnership with the centre. Interested students may apply by the end of their 6th semester. There are currently 40 seats available. Selected students will have to complete 5 core subjects by their 8th semester, including one (AI42001) before applying. They also have to complete 3 elective subjects from the centre in their 9th and 10th semesters, and also carry out MTP-1 and MTP-2 under the centre's supervision.
This micro-specialization in AI and ML is available to 4-year UG and 5-year Dual Degree students. This micro-specialization can be obtained by taking 4 subjects (from 2 components) offered by the COEAI. 2 subjects from Component 1 must be completed before the 2 subjects from Component 2. NOTE: one cannot "pre-register" for micro-specialization. It can be obtained if the criteria are satisfied. But faculty are not obliged to register students in their subjects to enable them to complete the micro-specialization.
