Jamia Millia Islamia University M.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. GATE 2026 scores in the CS (Computer Science and Information Technology) paper or the IT paper are accepted for admission to the M.Tech AIML programme at JMI. The GATE CS paper is the most relevant, covering programming, algorithms, discrete mathematics, operating systems, and computer networks. A valid GATE score gives candidates first-preference standing over non-GATE applicants in the JMI merit list for this programme.

Ans. Candidates without a GATE score can apply and appear in the JMI M.Tech Entrance Test for remaining seats after GATE-ranked candidates are allocated. Non-GATE candidates must meet the same eligibility requirement of a B.E./B.Tech. in CS, IT, Electronics, or allied engineering with minimum 60% marks. GATE-qualified candidates have priority in the merit process, and non-GATE admissions are subject to seat availability.

Ans. The 2-year programme covers machine learning algorithms, computer vision, natural language processing, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and data engineering. Students work on GPU-enabled computing infrastructure for model training and thesis experimentation. The curriculum also includes research methodology, thesis work under faculty supervision, and seminars on emerging AI applications in defence and industry sectors.

Ans. The M.Tech AIML at JMI is a regular (government-funded) programme with an annual fee of INR 21,475 and a 2-year total of INR 42,950. GATE-qualified students admitted through the centrally funded institution route are further eligible for the MHRD full tuition fee waiver, making the effective cost zero for qualifying GATE scorers. This is one of the more cost-effective M.Tech AI/ML options available in Delhi for GATE aspirants.

Ans. JMI offers M.Tech Data Science as a self-financed programme with a higher fee, while M.Tech AIML falls under the regular government-funded category. The AIML programme focuses on algorithm research, computer vision, and NLP under the Computer Engineering department, whereas Data Science emphasises statistical modelling, data pipelines, and analytics. For students targeting government R&D and AI research careers, the AIML programme at JMI is the more aligned choice.

Ans. Graduates from JMI’s M.Tech AIML programme can pursue roles as Machine Learning Engineer, AI Research Scientist, or Data Science Lead in technology companies and government research organisations such as DRDO and C-DAC. The central university background also makes JMI M.Tech graduates eligible for Junior Research Fellow positions and faculty associate roles in technical institutes across India.
