Ans. The VTU-prescribed B.Tech AI and ML curriculum at MRIT includes core subjects such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data structures, and software engineering. Students also study Python programming, data analytics, and cloud computing fundamentals. The final-year project involves building an AI or ML application using real datasets. VTU sets the examination pattern and the programme is aligned with AICTE model curriculum guidelines for AI and ML engineering programmes.

Ans. Graduates of B.Tech AI and ML from MRIT can pursue careers as data scientists, machine learning engineers, AI developers, data analysts, and business intelligence analysts. The IT corridor in Mysuru and Bengaluru offers employment opportunities in technology companies and startups. Graduates may also appear for GATE in CSE or Data Science to pursue M.Tech at premier institutes, or apply for central government technical roles through GATE scores. Government technology agencies and defence R and D organisations also recruit AI and ML graduates.

Ans. The sanctioned intake for B.Tech AI and ML at MRIT is 60 seats per academic year. Of these, around 27 seats fall under KCET government quota, 18 under COMEDK UGET, and 15 under management quota. The 60-seat cohort is the same size as B.Tech ISE at MRIT and provides a focused learning environment compared to the 180-seat CSE batch. Candidates should check the final seat matrix on kea.kar.nic.in once KCET counselling option entry opens for the exact quota-wise breakup.
