Academic Regulations

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) at Vardhaman College of Engineering follows well-defined academic regulations that ensure academic rigor, transparency, and alignment with institutional policies, affiliating university guidelines, AICTE norms, and NBA accreditation requirements. These regulations define the academic framework covering curriculum structure, credit distribution, assessment methods, grading system, attendance requirements, and progression criteria. The regulations also support Outcome-Based Education (OBE), ensuring that all academic processes are aligned with Program Outcomes (POs), Program Specific Outcomes (PSOs), and Course Outcomes (COs), preparing students to meet the evolving demands of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning fields.

Curriculum and Syllabus

The B.Tech program in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) is designed to provide a strong foundation in computing principles along with specialized knowledge in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and related emerging technologies. The curriculum integrates theoretical concepts with practical skills to prepare graduates for careers in intelligent systems, data-driven applications, automation, and advanced computing domains. It is structured under the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), offering flexibility for students to select courses based on their academic interests and career aspirations.

 

The curriculum development and revision process involves inputs from industry experts, alumni, employers, faculty, and students to ensure relevance to current technological trends and industry needs. Emphasis is placed on experiential and outcome-based learning through laboratory courses, mini-projects, internships, and major projects that help students apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. The program also encourages interdisciplinary learning and supports credit transfer through MOOCs such as NPTEL, along with the implementation of Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) and APAAR ID systems. Continuous evaluation through outcome attainment analysis and stakeholder feedback enables periodic curriculum updates, ensuring alignment with technological advancements, industry expectations, and accreditation standards while preparing students to become competent and innovative AI and ML professionals.

Honors Program

The Minor and Honors programs offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) provide opportunities for academically motivated students to enhance their knowledge beyond the regular curriculum and develop specialized expertise in emerging computing technologies. These programs support interdisciplinary learning, advanced technical knowledge, and research orientation, enabling students to achieve academic excellence and improve their professional competitiveness.

The Minor program allows students to pursue additional courses in interdisciplinary domains such as Data Science, Cyber Security, Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing. This helps students broaden their academic exposure, develop multidisciplinary skills, and enhance their employability across diverse technology sectors.
