So, IIT Hyderabad was one of the first IITs to start a B.Tech program in Artificial Intelligence (AI). It's pretty well-regarded, ranking 8th for Engineering by NIRF 2020.

AI at IITs:

Nowadays, many IITs are jumping on the AI bandwagon with different courses:

IIT Roorkee has an online AI certification course on Coursera.
IIT Bombay faculty helped create a deep learning program with Great Learning.
IIT Delhi is working on AI for medical diagnoses.
IIT Guwahati has a new M.Tech in data science, and IIT Madras has specializations in robotics and data science.

But IIT Hyderabad was the first to offer a full B.Tech in AI, focusing on areas like Natural Language Processing and Game Theory.

AI - IIT Hyderabad:

You get in through JEE Advanced scores.
In 2019, the cutoff rank for AI was 657.
The course fee is around 2.23 lakhs per year.

Placement:

Top companies like Accenture, Microsoft, and Qualcomm recruit from IIT Hyderabad.
The highest salary package was 53.79 LPA, with an average of 16.74 LPA.
About 80% of students get placed.

IIT Hyderabad is known for its industry connections and in-demand AI program. With AI becoming more important, it makes sense for other IITs to offer similar B.Tech programs.

Its a Question about your future!
