B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) at MCKV Institute of Engineering in Kolkata, West Bengal is a 4-year undergraduate programme. Each year's batch has 60 seats. The total fee on record is ₹5.56 lakh, which works out to about ₹1.39 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.

MCKV Institute of Engineering is a private institute, founded in 1999. This page brings together what is on record for this course at MCKV Institute of Engineering — 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 MCKV Institute of Engineering 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 MCKV Institute of Engineering as a group.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with MCKV Institute of Engineering 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 MCKV Institute of Engineering 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 MCKV Institute of Engineering'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.
