IIT-Bombay’s AI and Data Science Courses
In September 2023, IIT-Bombay mandated AI and data science courses for BTech and BS students. This strategic decision followed a thorough evaluation of the BTech curriculum, guided by proposals from a specialized group.
The goal was to integrate these courses at the foundational level, providing students with essential knowledge early in their academic careers.
Students could then tailor their learning paths based on departmental or program criteria, selecting more advanced courses aligned with their chosen focus.
This strategy aims to equip students with the skills required by the modern labor market, ensuring their readiness for future professional opportunities.
