My sister is currently pursuing AI MTech in IISc Bangalore. She shared her courses taught in the first and second-semester
First semester
These are fundamental courses you will be studying before actually getting started with AI. In the second semester courses will be like
2nd semester
The courses of the consecutive semesters depend on the student and his/her project advisor.
My sister has huge expectations from this program and she claims that the program fulfilled all of them. As for your other question, not only an EE Engineer but also a CS or ECE engineer can do well in this program. AI is a multifaceted field and thus is suitable for people from diverse backgrounds.
