New-age courses AI and ML in the offing at Bengaluru colleges

A year after the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) decided to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in its affiliated colleges as a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) courses, several Bengaluru engineering colleges have started offering the new-age courses.

According to the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (K-CET) draft seat matrix, several colleges have already fixed the number of seats for BE in AI and ML for about 40-60 seats for the first-year undergraduate program. This comes after VTU’s expert committee had in 2019 said that since AI and ML was applicable to all the streams, students should have an understanding about the said subjects.
