JNTU-Hyderabad to launch BTech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The varsity will offer nearly 60 seats and candidates will be enrolled under these seats through the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (TS EAMCET) 2022 admission counselling.

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU)-Hyderabad is all set to roll out BTech Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning course at its Hyderabad and Sultanpur campuses from this academic year. The varsity will offer nearly 60 seats and candidates will be enrolled under these seats through the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (TS EAMCET) 2022 admission counselling. The fee for the course is INR 1 lakh per annum.

The course has already been commenced by Private unaided engineering colleges in the last two academic years. “The university is introducing BTech AI and ML on its campus colleges in Hyderabad and Sultanpur from this academic year,” JNTU-Hyderabad Vice-Chancellor Prof Katta Narasimha Reddy said on the sidelines of the TS EAMCET 2022 results on Friday.

According to the VC, the university would send a proposal to the State government seeking permission to regularise self-financed courses that successfully complete three academic years.

MTech seats increased from 18 to 30

The varsity has also increased the intake in all MTech courses from 18 to 30 seats from the current academic year. As some seats in the undergraduate courses were vacant after all rounds of admission counselling, the administration is contemplating filling up such seats with spot admissions.

The JNTU-Hyderabad is also chalking out a plan to issue a PhD admission notification. So far, it has identified 242 PhD vacancies in engineering, pharmacy and other streams that are to be notified shortly.

It is likely that JNTU-H would offer a dual degree programme with engineering and BBA Data Analytics as well from this academic year considering that the BBA Data Analytics general degree course evoked good response through the Degree Online Services, Telangana (DOST) 2022, the V-C said.

“In the dual degree programme, 70 per cent of the BBA course work will be online. Only engineering students are eligible to pursue the dual degree programme. Students will also be given the credit transfer provision,” he added.
