B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at MIT Manipal

B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at MIT Manipal in Manipal, Karnataka is a 4-year undergraduate programme. Each year's batch has 150 seats. Fees for the full course come to ₹8.73 lakh – ₹17.98 lakh (roughly ₹2.18 lakh a year).

The course is about how machines learn from data: programming in Python, probability and statistics, machine learning, neural networks, computer vision and natural language processing, with projects on real datasets.

MIT Manipal is a private institute, founded in 1957. This page brings together what is on record for this course at MIT Manipal — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means how machines learn from data: programming in Python, probability and statistics, machine learning, neural networks, computer vision and natural language processing, with projects on real datasets. Typical first jobs: machine learning engineer, AI developer, data scientist or research engineer. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask MIT Manipal for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at MIT Manipal as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with MIT Manipal before you pay anything.

For admission to B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning), you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at MIT Manipal are: X: 0.0, XII: 45.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check MIT Manipal's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

The admission process usually runs like this:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to MIT Manipal on its website (www.manipal.edu/mit.html) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.
