Minor Degree in Modern Machine Learning 2023

Autonomous Institutes or Deemed to-be Universities offering undergraduate programs in engineering/technology and willing to establish formal relationship with IIIT Hyderabad for the purpose of offering value-added complimentary degree programs, designed and curated by IIIT Hyderabad, are welcome to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The aim of this program is primarily to cooperate and work together towards achieving academic excellence through capacity building efforts in AI/ML domains. Institutes with accredited programs are also encouraged to enter into this MoU.

Designed to be different from other existing AI/ML programs, this program runs parallel to ongoing UG engineering program, would be administered at the host institute, and is open to students from all eligible branches.

Highlights

• Program offered by host institution
• Theory sessions at host institutions
• Online tutorials assisted by iHub-Data, IIITH
• Program evaluated at host institution
• Teachers part of extended network of IIITH
• Transfer of all rights of “program” to host institution, after four years
• Participating students to be provided with Certificates from iHub-Data/IIITH
• Obj: To enable students to solve problems using modern AI techniques

Administering the course at institute level would require young faculty members from CSE, ECE and Mathematics background – to volunteer as mentors. The mentors would also learn and explain concepts to students on the fly.

One of the main objectives of this academic MoU would be to offer and support an undergraduate technology complimentary 20-credit program leading to B Tech (minor) in Modern Machine Learning to UG engineering students. The aim also includes augmenting the capabilities of problem solving and research of UG students with intensive hands-on training, using case studies. Services of Teaching Assistants from IIITH would be extended to all institutes, for imparting skill-based training on tutorials. Building up of a strong and vibrant faculty-base in India is also high on the agenda, in order to facilitate more collaborative research programs in future.

The duration of an MoU would remain valid for a period of four academic years from the year of entering into the agreement. The last date for informing consent for the block period of 2023-2027 ends on 31 January 2023. Institutes should get the necessary approval from their respective Academic Bodies/Board of Studies for offering the Minor Program before March 2023.

Institutes/Universities who are willing to participate in this program are requested to download the MoU document, get its content typed out on a non-judicial stamp paper (Rs 200 denomination), have it signed by Principal/Director/Authorised signatory of the institute/university and send it to us for completing the formalities.
