Gulzar Group of Institutes Ludhiana B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning): Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) is a specialized program where the core curriculum is focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and computer vision, in addition to core CSE subjects. Regular B.Tech CSE is a broader program covering all aspects of computer science including software engineering, databases, networking, and operating systems. If you are specifically interested in AI/ML careers as a Data Scientist, ML Engineer, or AI Researcher, the specialized program is the better choice. If you want broader career options in software development, networking, or systems engineering, regular B.Tech CSE may be more suitable.

Ans. JEE Main scores are preferred but not mandatory for admission to GGI. The college also offers direct merit-based admission based on 10+2 PCM marks. Students with a valid JEE Main score may get priority in seat allotment. However, since GGI is an IKGPTU-affiliated private college, the admission process is relatively flexible compared to government colleges. Students who have not appeared for JEE Main can still apply directly through the GGI admission portal (apply.ggi.ac.in) and secure admission based on their 10+2 marks.

Ans. The curriculum covers Python programming, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, OpenCV, scikit-learn, Hadoop, and Apache Spark. Students also get hands-on training through GGI's tie-ups with AWS Academy (cloud AI platforms), IBM AI tools, and Palo Alto Cybersecurity Academy. The program includes projects in deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. Students can also earn AWS and IBM certifications during the program, which are highly valued by recruiters.

Ans. Graduates can work as AI Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, NLP Engineers, Computer Vision Engineers, Deep Learning Researchers, and AI Product Managers. Top companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Hexaware, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft actively hire AI/ML professionals. The average salary for AI/ML professionals in India ranges from Rs. 6-20 Lakhs per annum for freshers, with experienced professionals earning significantly higher. GGI's placement cell has facilitated 481+ placements annually across all programs.

Ans. Yes, the B.Tech degree from GGI is awarded by IKGPTU, a recognized state government technical university. The degree is fully valid for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), which opens doors to M.Tech admissions at IITs, NITs, and other premier institutions. Students can pursue M.Tech in AI, ML, Data Science, or related fields. The degree is also recognized for higher education abroad and government job applications. Students are encouraged to start GATE preparation from the 3rd year of their B.Tech program.

Ans. The total academic fee for 4 years is Rs. 4,39,800 (including tuition, registration, exam, university, and communication training fees).
