The Department of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science was formed by the bifurcation of the parent Computer Science department. A team of dedicated & well qualified faculty members having expertise in diversified areas of AI & DS under the headship of Dr. Sumam Mary Idicula is running the department. The department offers two graduate programs and one post graduate program.
Department currently offers following courses :
1. B.Tech in CSE(Artificial Intelligence) ( 60 Seats )
2.B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science ( 60 Seats )
3. M.Tech Artificial Intelligence & Data Science ( 12 Seats )
B.Tech in CSE(Artificial Intelligence) and M.Tech Artificial Intelligence & Data Science were started in 2020 while B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science in the year 2021. The courses offered in this department aim at helping students to acquire all the basic and advanced level skills & knowledge that are crucial in the field of Data Science, AI , Machine learning and Deep learning. In addition to academics, the department conducts several extra-curricular and co-curricular activities that aims at the holistic development of the students.
The Department of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (AI & DS), the newest in the MITS family, is dedicated to nurturing highly skilled professionals in the thriving fields of AI and Data Science. AI empowers machines to perform intelligent tasks such as decision-making, problem-solving, perception, language processing, and image recognition, exemplified by technologies like Amazon’s Alexa and social robots like Sophia. In parallel, Data Science is an interdisciplinary domain that brings together computer science, statistics, mathematics, information science, and data visualization to extract meaningful insights from large datasets, applicable in diverse areas including healthcare, climate modeling, business, and entertainment. Supported by committed and well-qualified faculty specializing in areas like Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Data Analytics, the department thrives with its robust infrastructure—featuring high-end computing facilities, well-equipped labs, high-speed internet, smart classrooms, and comprehensive digital library access—which collectively bolster students' productivity and readiness for future-ready careers.
Our department is committed to advancing innovation through groundbreaking research projects that address real-world challenges. With funding from esteemed institutions and industry leaders, our research spans multiple domains, including artificial intelligence, computer vision, and automation. Our goal is to develop impactful solutions that contribute to technological progress and societal well-being.
Department of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science at MITS fosters professionalism among students through active involvement in student chapters of professional bodies. A variety of activities, including technical events, expert discussions, and social awareness programs, are regularly organized to cultivate leadership, technical competence, and a sense of societal responsibility.
The Department of AI & DS is equipped with four advanced laboratories: the John McCarthy Lab, the Van Rossum Lab, the Hinton Lab, and the Project Lab.
