Takshashila University is a other institute. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Takshashila University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Sc 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 Takshashila University for the current semester-wise plan.
