Ans. The total programme fee for the 4-year B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with AI and ML specialisation at KCNIT Banda is INR 2,80,000. Hostel accommodation is optional at INR 45,000 per year and is not included in the programme total. AKTU examination fees and study material charges apply separately.

Ans. The curriculum follows the AKTU scheme for B.Tech CSE with AI and ML specialisation. Core subjects typically include machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, data mining, and programming in Python. The programme combines the standard CSE foundation in data structures, operating systems, and computer networks with the AI and ML specialisation electives in later semesters.

Ans. There is no fixed cutoff. Admission is through UPTAC counselling based on JEE Main 2026 merit rank. The effective cutoff varies each year with total applicants and seats available. Candidates from Uttar Pradesh with a moderate JEE Main score generally qualify for this branch at KCNIT Banda through UPTAC counselling rounds.

Ans. KCNIT Banda has a placement cell, but verified branch-wise placement data for the CSE AI and ML specialisation is not publicly available. Graduates typically target roles such as data analyst, junior ML engineer, software developer, and government IT roles. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the college placement cell for recent recruitment records and visiting company lists.

Ans. Yes. The degree is awarded by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, and is recognised by UGC and AICTE. Graduates are eligible to apply for M.Tech, MBA, and other postgraduate programmes at reputed universities, as well as for GATE examination in Computer Science. AKTU affiliation ensures the degree is widely accepted by employers and academic institutions.

Ans. The CSE AI and ML branch shares the same AKTU engineering foundation as general CSE but replaces certain elective slots with AI-specific subjects such as machine learning algorithms, neural networks, computer vision, and data analytics. The programme fee is the same as general CSE at INR 2,80,000. Students who prefer a focused AI curriculum over the broader generalised CSE track typically choose this specialisation.
