BE/BTech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programs in India blend computer science foundations with focused AI/ML and data engineering coursework. Students begin with programming, data structures, discrete math, linear algebra, probability and statistics, and databases, alongside operating systems and computer networks to understand the computational substrates where AI applications run. The AI spine introduces machine learning (supervised/unsupervised), model evaluation and generalization, feature engineering, and optimization methods. This extends into deep learning (CNNs, RNNs/transformers), natural language processing, and, increasingly, generative models and prompt engineering aligned with contemporary tools. The data spine covers data modeling, SQL/NoSQL systems, data warehousing, ETL pipelines, and big data frameworks to handle scale and streaming. A typical curriculum folds in visualization, exploratory data analysis, and MLOps concepts like experiment tracking, model packaging, and deployment.
Hands-on labs are central: students build models on real datasets, tune hyperparameters, track metrics, and learn to debug data and pipeline issues. Many programs integrate projects on computer vision, NLP, recommender systems, and anomaly detection, with an emphasis on reproducibility and responsible AI—bias detection, fairness, privacy, and governance. Electives often include reinforcement learning, graph ML, cloud-native data engineering, and domain-focused analytics (finance, healthcare, retail). Final-year capstones ask teams to frame a business or research problem, collect and clean data, benchmark baselines, select and justify architectures, and deploy prototypes with dashboards or APIs. Some universities highlight exposure to state-of-the-art topics like LLMs, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation to ensure graduates can work with modern AI stacks. The result is a curriculum that couples rigorous math/programming with practical data/ML engineering, producing graduates ready for roles in data science, ML engineering, and AI product development.
