Manav Rachna University, Faculty of Engineering Faridabad B.Tech CSE (Hons.) with Specialization in Generative AI (Google Cloud): Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The regular B.Tech CSE is a 4-year programme covering core computer science subjects without a specific industry specialisation. The B.Tech CSE (Hons.) AI & ML is also 4 years but includes an additional Honours specialisation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, co-designed and co-certified by Xebia and HCL Guvi. The Hons. variant includes dedicated AI/ML subjects like Machine Learning, Neural Networks & Fuzzy Logic, Data Warehousing and Data Mining, Image Processing, and Information Retrieval, along with direct learning sessions from Xebia industry experts, industrial visits, and remote/onsite internship opportunities with Xebia or their clients. The fee for the Hons. variant is higher due to the training partner fee component.

Ans. Xebia is a global technology consulting and digital transformation company that co-designs the AI/ML specialisation curriculum, co-delivers specialisation courses through their experts, co-certifies the programme, and provides industrial visits and internship opportunities. HCL Guvi is the other industry knowledge partner, providing additional AI/ML learning resources and certification pathways. Together, they ensure the curriculum is aligned with current industry needs and that students gain practical, job-ready skills. The co-certification by Xebia and HCL Guvi adds significant value to the degree beyond the MRU B.Tech credential.

Ans. Students learn Python programming (the primary language for AI/ML), data structures and algorithms, machine learning algorithms (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning), neural networks and deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision and image processing, data warehousing and data mining, and mobile application analytics. They also get exposure to Google Cloud AI tools, MongoDB for data management, UIPath for automation, and AWS AI services through MRU's industry partnerships. The curriculum includes hands-on lab sessions and real-world projects using these tools.

Ans. Graduates can work as Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, AI Research Engineers, NLP Engineers, Computer Vision Engineers, Data Analysts, AI Product Managers, and Deep Learning Engineers. Career opportunities span IT companies, e-commerce, healthcare, fintech, automotive (autonomous vehicles), manufacturing (Industry 4.0), and government AI initiatives. Entry-level salaries for AI/ML roles typically range from Rs. 5-10 LPA, with experienced professionals earning Rs. 15-25 LPA or more at top tech companies. The highest CTC offered at MRU is Rs. 60 LPA.

Ans. Yes. B.Tech CSE (Hons.) AI & ML focuses on the broader spectrum of artificial intelligence and machine learning - covering classical ML algorithms, neural networks, data mining, image processing, and NLP. B.Tech CSE (Hons.) Generative AI is a newer specialisation focused specifically on generative models like GANs, diffusion models, large language models (LLMs), and AI content generation. Both are 4-year programmes with industry partnerships, but Generative AI is more focused on the cutting-edge subset of AI that powers tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney. Students interested in a broader AI/ML foundation should choose AI & ML, while those specifically interested in generative models and LLMs should consider the Generative AI specialisation.

Ans. Internship opportunities are available with Xebia or their clients (remote/onsite), and through MRU's broader industry network including Google Cloud, AWS, MongoDB, and Infosys Springboard. The dedicated CRCDC (Corporate Resource Centre and Career Development Cell) provides year-round placement support including mock interviews, resume preparation, soft skills training, and campus recruitment drives. The "Super 40" initiative provides additional placement support to high-performing students. Over 600 MNCs and Indian corporates recruit from MRU's campus, and the highest CTC offered has been Rs. 60 LPA.
