Marwadi University Rajkot B.Tech Artificial Intelligence & Data Science: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Marwadi University offers both a B.Tech (CSE - Artificial Intelligence & Data Science) and a B.S./B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science. The CSE-AI&DS programme is under the Computer Science & Engineering department and follows a CSE-centric curriculum with an AI & DS specialisation. The B.S./B.Tech in AI & DS is a dedicated programme focused entirely on AI and Data Science from the ground up, with a curriculum built around data analytics, machine learning, predictive modelling, and AI applications. Both are 4-year full-time programmes with the same fee of Rs. ₹77,500 per semester. Students interested in a more focused AI & DS curriculum should opt for the dedicated B.Tech/B.S. in AI & DS.

Ans. Both GUJCET and JEE Main are accepted for ACPC-based admission to B.Tech at Marwadi University. If you are a Gujarat domicile student, you can apply through ACPC using either GUJCET or JEE Main scores. The merit is calculated as 60% weightage of Class 12 theory percentile and 40% weightage of GUJCET/JEE Main percentile. If you are from outside Gujarat, you are eligible for 5% seats in government/grant-in-aid institutions through JEE Main. For management quota (15% seats at MU), you can approach MU directly with your JEE Main score even without GUJCET.

Ans. Graduates of B.Tech AI & DS from MU are well-positioned for roles such as Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, AI Research Scientist, Data Analyst, Business Intelligence Analyst, Data Engineer, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, and AI Product Manager. MU's placement record shows 500+ recruiting companies, with the highest package of Rs. ₹34.5 LPA (Amazon) and 1,000+ students placed at packages of Rs. ₹5 LPA and above. Key recruiters include TCS, Reliance, Adani, Zomato, Flipkart, S&P Global, Federal Bank, and Nasdaq-listed companies.

Ans. Yes, if you are a Gujarat student who scored 80 percentile or above in HSC (Class 12) and your annual family income is Rs. ₹6 lakh or less, you are eligible for the MYSY scholarship. Under MYSY, you will receive 50% of the tuition fees or Rs. ₹50,000 per year, whichever is less. Since MU's annual tuition for B.Tech AI & DS is Rs. ₹1,55,000 (2 semesters x Rs. ₹77,500), the MYSY benefit would be Rs. ₹50,000 per year (as 50% of Rs. ₹1,55,000 = Rs. ₹77,500, but the cap is Rs. ₹50,000). You must apply for MYSY separately through the official MYSY portal (mysy.guj.nic.in).

Ans. Marwadi University offers both in-campus and off-campus hostel options. In-campus hostels (Hostel A/B/C/D) offer room types ranging from 8-bed non-AC (Rs. ₹96,000/year) to 2-bed AC (Rs. ₹2,05,000/year). Off-campus hostels with transportation are also available at Rs. ₹1,05,000 to Rs. ₹1,50,000 per year. Hostel accommodation is optional and not mandatory. A refundable security deposit of Rs. ₹15,000 (in-campus) or Rs. ₹10,000 (off-campus) is required. Hostel fees once paid are non-refundable except the security deposit. Students can also opt for single-term occupancy at off-campus hostels at 65% of the annual fee.

Ans. Management quota accounts for 15% of the total seats (approximately 9-10 seats out of 64). To apply for management quota, you must first register on the ACPC portal and obtain an ACPC merit rank number - this is mandatory even for management quota admission. After obtaining the ACPC rank, approach the MU admissions office directly. MU conducts its own management quota counselling schedule. The eligibility criteria remain the same (12th with Physics and Mathematics, minimum 50% marks). Management quota admissions are typically processed after the first round of ACPC allotment, so it is advisable to contact MU admissions (+91 63030-39010) for the exact schedule.
