School of Artificial Intelligence
CURRICULUM / SYLLABUS FOR
BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY IN
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
BATCH 2024-28
Program Overview:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) aim to imbue machines with human-like
capabilities such as sensing, comprehension, and action. These technologies are rapidly evolving and
reshaping economies and societies worldwide. As the demand for AI applications grows, there is a
pressing need to prepare a skilled workforce for the future. At the same time, the wide-spread interest
of humanity in the development of AI entails technologies that are the state-of-the-art today will be
rendered deprecated and obsolete soon in the near future, demanding that the aspects of application and
fundamental research are approached in synergistic tandem, where the demands of application catalyse
research in the fundamental domain, while at the same time, innovation in fundamental research aspects
of AI fuel the growth of applications.
It is with the above vision and recognition that the B.Tech program in Artificial Intelligence at Bennett
University seeks to nurture the next generation of students, who will who have the potential to
revolutionize the AI landscape through a rigorous training in the aspects of fundamental research and
