The world is undergoing an unprecedented technological transformation, with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning emerging as the defining forces of the twenty-first century. From intelligent healthcare diagnostics and autonomous mobility to financial forecasting and smart manufacturing, AI and ML are reshaping every sector of the global economy — generating an extraordinary demand for engineers who can not only understand these technologies but innovate with them responsibly and effectively.
In response to this global imperative, Birla Global University (BGU), Bhubaneswar, is proud to launch the B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (B.Tech. CSE – AI & ML) under the aegis of the Birla School of Engineering & Technology. This four-year, full-time undergraduate program is designed to produce technically proficient, ethically grounded, and industry-ready AI engineers who are equipped to lead in a rapidly evolving digital world.
Rooted in the AICTE Model Curriculum for B.Tech CSE (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning), the program offers a carefully sequenced academic journey that spans eight semesters. The curriculum is structured around four foundational pillars: a strong mathematical and computational foundation in the early semesters; progressive specialization in core AI and ML concepts from the second year onward; applied research and project-based learning throughout; and industry integration via mandatory internships and live project engagements. Students engage with a rich blend of subjects including Probability Theory and Statistics, Data Structures and Algorithms, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Big Data Analytics, and AI Ethics — all of which mirror the competencies mapped by AICTE to produce graduates who are equipped to solve real-world problems at the intersection of technology and society.
What sets this program apart is its deliberate fusion of academic rigour with global perspectives. The curriculum has been co-designed with aivancity School for Technology, Business and Society, Paris — one of Europe's premier institutions in AI and data science — ensuring that BGU students benefit from internationally benchmarked pedagogy, research insights, and curriculum innovation. The program is further distinguished by its emphasis on portfolio-building, entrepreneurial thinking, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, enabling graduates to pursue impactful careers in technology, research, consulting, and beyond.
At Birla Global University, we believe that engineering education must go beyond the classroom. This program reflects our commitment to nurturing not just skilled engineers, but innovators, problem-solvers, and responsible technologists who can contribute meaningfully to India's vision of becoming a global AI powerhouse.
