Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are reshaping the world by driving innovation across industries such as, healthcare, finance, robotics, e-commerce, transportation, and more. As global economies increasingly depend on intelligent systems and automation, the demand for skilled professionals in AI and ML continues to grow exponentially.
Recognizing this emerging need, Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering introduced an AICTE approved specialized undergraduate program – B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – from the academic year 2021–2022 with the intake of 60 seats. This intake was increased to 120 seats from the year 2024-25. This four-year program is tailored to develop strong foundational knowledge in computer science alongside focused expertise in cutting-edge AI and ML technologies. The program combines rigorous theoretical instruction with practical, hands-on experience. The department, supported by experienced faculty, headed by Dr. Aruna Gawade, has state of the art infrastructure including well-equipped laboratories, specious classrooms, industry-relevant curriculum, and an active mentorship and internship ecosystem.
The department has a student chapter DJS ACM
SIGAI (Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence) which is a vibrant
community dedicated to driving innovation and fostering curiosity in the field
of Artificial Intelligence. Established to empower the next generation of AI
enthusiasts, this chapter bridges the gap between academia and industry,
encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and hands-on learning.
