RCMAS Integrated MSc CS AI and ML FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between this integrated M.Sc. and doing a B.Sc. followed by a separate M.Sc.?
Ans. The integrated programme combines both degrees in one uninterrupted five-year curriculum at the same institution, allowing seamless progression from foundational computing to advanced AI and ML topics without reapplying for a separate postgraduate programme. Curriculum continuity and cohort-based learning are the main advantages. Students admitted to the integrated route do not need to compete again for the M.Sc. component.
Ques. Can students exit after three years without completing the M.Sc. portion?
Ans. Yes. Under Mahatma Gandhi University’s NEP 2020 framework, students in the integrated programme may exit at the end of three years with a B.Sc. degree. This multiple-exit option gives students flexibility to enter the job market or pursue a standalone M.Sc. elsewhere. Students choosing to exit receive a full B.Sc. credential from MGU rather than just a diploma or certificate.
Ques. What subjects are covered in the AI and ML specialisation in years four and five?
Ans. The advanced years cover deep learning, neural networks, reinforcement learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and AI system design. Python-based ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch are used extensively. A research project or dissertation in the final semester requires students to apply AI techniques to a real-world problem and present findings to a faculty panel.
Ques. What is the total fee for the five-year integrated M.Sc. programme at RCMAS?
Ans. The total tuition fee for the five-year, ten-semester integrated programme is INR 2,26,800. This includes INR 21,000 per semester for the first six semesters (years 1 to 3) and INR 25,200 per semester for the final four semesters (years 4 to 5). University examination fees and statutory charges are billed separately by Mahatma Gandhi University.
Ques. What careers can graduates of this five-year integrated programme pursue?
Ans. Graduates earn a full M.Sc. in Computer Science with AI and ML specialisation, qualifying for roles as machine learning engineer, AI researcher, data scientist, deep learning engineer, NLP specialist, and computer vision developer. Technology companies, research institutions, startups, and consultancies working in AI-driven products actively recruit integrated M.Sc. CS graduates from reputed MGU-affiliated institutions.
Ques. What is the eligibility for admission to this integrated M.Sc. programme?
Ans. Candidates must have passed Plus Two with Mathematics or Computer Science as one of the subjects from a recognised board, with a minimum aggregate of 50 percent marks. Admission is through the MGU Centralised Allotment Process during the UG admission window. Students with a Science stream background and strong Mathematics performance are best suited for the computational demands of this programme.
