B. Tech. in Mathematics and Computing
. The department started a four year B.Tech. program in Mathematics and Computing from Academic year 2019-2020.
. Admission to B.Tech. program in Mathematics and Computing is through JEE (Advanced) 2019-2020.
Background
Computer science is founded upon Mathematics. Further, computer science is also being used to understanding better and finding solutions to mathematical problems. Graduates of computer science with solid mathematical foundations are currently in great demand and will remain so due to heavy use of computers and computer assisted technologies in our day-to-day life. Keeping this in mind, Mathematics department in collaboration with computer science department is offering a 4-year B. Tech programme in Mathematics and Computing with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This program will give students a formidable combination of Mathematics and Computer Science by concentrating on areas where mathematics and computing are most relevant to each other. The program will prepare graduates well for advanced degrees and careers in a variety of fields in industry. The curriculum is designed in such a way that this programme provides a perfect platform for those who seek strong mathematical and analytical components with a specialization in AI. Artificial intelligence is bringing almost revolutionary changes in every field - healthcare, agriculture, security, banking & finance, e-commerce, education, sports, forensics, assistive technologies, etc.There is huge demand for AI talent. According to NITI Aayog report AI has the potential to add USD15.7 trillion to the global GDP by 2030 and roughly USD 1 trillion could be added to India GDP by 2035. The purpose of launching our new course - B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing is to develop a work force which can step up to the challenges of the upcoming age of artificial intelligence and computer assisted technologies where a strong mathematics foundation is required.
