What is the difference between M.Tech (CSE) and M.Tech (AI) at IISc Bangalore?
There are many points of difference between IISc MTech CSE and MTech AI. Some of them have been listed below
- M.Tech CSE is the flagship M.Tech program from CSA whereas the M.Tech AI program is a new program that has been recently introduced by the EECS division.
- There is a huge difference in the curriculum of both programs. Although both programs require 64 credits, the breakdown is different. For MTech CSE the department core requires a minimum of 24 credits comprising at least 8 credits each from Pool A, Pool B, and Pool C There is a project too. The remaining credits are for electives. The M.Tech AI course on the other hand has 19 credits from pool A subjects, 12 credits from pool B subjects, and 12 credits from electives. Additionally, there is a 21-credit project where one can work on interdisciplinary cutting-edge problems on AI.
- M.Tech CSE admissions are done on the basis of GATE CS scores while the cut-off for M.Tech AI is decided by the applications from CS, EE, and ECE disciplines.
It's natural for a CSE B.Tech student who isn't certain of specializing in theory, systems, or AI, to go for an M.Tech (CSE). The curriculum is flexible and you can even choose electives or work on AI projects. But if you are certain o your inclination towards AI then M.Tech (AI) is an excellent choice.
What is your opinion about the new M.Tech A.I. course offered by IISc Bangalore?
Anyone who claims that AI is still a developing field and hasn’t made its mark yet hasn’t looked up the AI and Machine Learning courses offered by top foreign universities. These courses are well in demand and offer extensive knowledge in the field of AI.
As for the IISc Bangalore AI MTech program, although it's a new program, it’s fast gaining popularity and is becoming one of the most coveted courses offered by IISc Bangalore. It has a huge number of hardcore, softcore, and elective courses in related areas. There are both theoretical as well as practical hands-on courses.
I believe, in this AI-oriented era, the future will witness a huge change in this field and the course will become a huge success.
How good is the AI M.Tech course in IISc Bangalore? How good can an electrical engineer do in that course?
My sister is currently pursuing AI MTech in IISc Bangalore. She shared her courses taught in the first and second-semester
First semester
- Linear algebra course that focuses on theory and related algorithms.
- Postgraduate course on probability and stochastic processes.
- Optimization course for constrained and unconstrained problems.
- Data Structures and algorithms are mainly for non-CS people.
These are fundamental courses you will be studying before actually getting started with AI. In the second semester courses will be like
2nd semester
- Machine Learning
- Deep Learning
- Computer Vision
- Image Processing
- Speech Processing
The courses of the consecutive semesters depend on the student and his/her project advisor.
My sister has huge expectations from this program and she claims that the program fulfilled all of them. As for your other question, not only an EE Engineer but also a CS or ECE engineer can do well in this program. AI is a multifaceted field and thus is suitable for people from diverse backgrounds.
