What do you think of IIT Hyderabad launching India's first B Tech in artificial Intelligence?
We have witnessed a shift from the EE department to the CSE department due to advancements in computer science. Today, CS is indispensable in every field. AI field is similarly gaining momentum and is expected to reach heights in the future. To make the most out of AI, some universities have started including this course in their current curriculum while the more passionate ones have chosen to create a separate department dedicated to it. For instance, MIT and CMU have recognized the hidden potential of AI and are already establishing a separate department for it.
Many are concerned if IIT Hyderabad will be able to tap the potential of AI rightly or not. However, the MTech in Machine Learning Program offered by IIT Hyderabad is a living example of how well they will be able to establish the AI branch as well.
IIT Hyderabad has some great faculty both in the CSE and EE Department who have great experiences in the field of machine learning, computer vision, speech and image processing, NLP, text processing, statistics and probability, etc.
However, it’s recommended that people go through the curriculum and talk to seniors before taking up this course. Genuine passion and interest in this field is required to take up this course else you will end up regretting your decision.
What 's your view on the AI course offered by IIT Hyderabad, its cutoff, future scope, and course pressure?
IIT Hyderabad is the first institute in India to launch a BTech program on AI engineering. I think the credibility of a certain field can be judged by its cutoff and the cutoff of AI has been seen as giving an edge to CSE of IIT Hyderabad and other old IITs.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad artificial intelligence or IIT Delhi mathematics and computing?
Both IIT Hyderabad Artificial Intelligence and IIT Delhi Mathematics and Computing are excellent courses. Of the two, choosing MNC at IIT Delhi is slightly better because:
- The NIRF ranking of IIT Delhi is 2, while that of IIT Hyderabad is 9.
- IIT Delhi was established in 1961, while IIT Hyderabad was established in 2008. Therefore, IIT Delhi has a stronger alumni network and a better reputation.
- Mathematics and computing revolves around both mathematics and computer science, which opens more diverse job opportunities for students.

If you have a specific inclination towards AI, the IIT Hyderabad AI course will treat you well. But if your interest lies in Math and Computer Science, or you wish to gain an overall better exposure, I would recommend you join Mathematics and Computing at IIT Delhi.
Which one should I choose, artificial intelligence in IIT Jodhpur or mechanical at IIT Guwahati?
Artificial Intelligence is a specialization that is expected to be in high demand in the near future and its scope is yet to be determined. I don’t think it’s safe to go for a newly launched field that too from a new IIT. The program and institution both lack the necessary credibility. I would recommend you go for a general branch at a new IIT, a specialization like AI from a well-reputed institute. There are many factors one should consider like faculty, subject content, etc before going for a new specialization.
Mechanical at IIT Guwahati on the other hand is a very safe choice considering the high credibility of the long-standing Institute.
Does anyone get the IIT Hyderabad artificial intelligence course in the JoSAA mock seat allotment, and at which rank?
The opening rank of the IIT Hyderabad AI course is right after the CSE closing cutoff. Look at the table below
JEE Advanced Closing Rank (General-All India)
|
Course |
Closing Rank |

There are a few seats in the Artificial Intelligence department because essays have just been converted from CSE to AI. The usual range for AI Cutoff is 700-1500.
How much CGPA is needed for a branch change at IIT Hyderabad to CSE or artificial intelligence?
Due to the increased demand for specialization, many students can be found transferring their branches to Artificial Intelligence departments since those provide better placement opportunities and high salary packages.
There is no specific CGPA requirement needed for a branch change. However, in accordance with the branch change policy, no department can take more than 10 % of its current number of students through the provision of Branch Change. So a branch that has 50 students can only admit 5 top students from other branches.
Hence it can be concluded that there is no specific CGPA required for branch change. It all depends on the competition between the students. However, based on one of my friends' experiences, the approximate CGPA required for branch change to AI or CS is around 9.6-9.8 in the first semester. Please note that this is just an approximate figure as there are no fixed criteria.

What should i choose RGIPT IDD in CSE and AI or IISER BHOPAL Engineering Science??
RGIPT IDD is a relatively new institute in comparison to IISER Bhopal which is more established. RGIPT IDD has gained popularity because of its quality of education.
- The RGIPT curriculum focuses on cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence and machine learning whereas the IISER Bhopal curriculum gives students a broad foundation in the natural sciences.
- RGIPT has strong industry ties, so its graduates receive great job opportunities after graduation. at the same time, most IISER students pursue a Ph.D. or a career in research.
- IISER Bhopal is older than RGIPT and hence more established.
Ultimately, the ‘better’ institute for you depends on your own interests and goals. If you are willing to pursue a career in applied fields such as artificial intelligence or machine learning, then RGIPT IDD is great for you but if you want a career in research or academia, then IISER Bhopal may be a better choice.
