Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
Artificial Intelligence is quickly emerging from the laboratory and is venturing into the commercial marketplace. Its impact on society is growing rapidly: in speech and language technology, strategic planning and diagnosis, process and
system control, vision and authentification systems, information retrieval and data-mining and many other
contexts. AI research is increasingly being supported by governments and industry. The many new realizations
continually redefine which applications we can achieve and push existing technology to its limits. Reasoning with knowledge is a central issue. The mere fact that knowledge is power makes the importance of AI indisputable. This degree
in Artificial Intelligence introduces the candidates with this fascinating specialization of Computer Science.
The degree is carried through two years comprising four semesters, with five papers in each of the first three
semesters, which include theory as well as laboratory programmes. The last semester is devoted to industrial project/ dissertation.

Coursework & Assessment :
Units are normally assessed through class tests, quizzes, time-constrained assignments, seminars on chosen topics,
case studies, work-based projects, mid-semester and endsemester theory/ practical exams. The industrial project/
dissertation is assessed by a combination of written report and presentation.
Careers :
Students will find employment as software developers or computer scientists within a software house, manufacturer or user organisation or the scientific and engineering community. They may also become consultants either self employed or as part of a management services team.
