AMU B.Tech Artificial Intelligence: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. B.Tech Computer Engineering (COBEA) at AMU is the core programme with 50 seats, covering the full spectrum of computer science and engineering. B.Tech Computer Engineering (Artificial Intelligence) - AIBEA - is a specialised variant with only 25 seats, where the curriculum is tailored towards AI, machine learning, deep learning, and data science alongside core computer engineering subjects. Both are offered by the Department of Computer Engineering at ZHCET. The AI specialisation is more focused and competitive, and is better suited for students who specifically want to build a career in AI/ML.

Ans. Yes, AMUEEE (AMU Engineering Entrance Exam) is the only accepted entrance exam for B.Tech admission at AMU, including the B.Tech AI programme. JEE Main scores are NOT accepted for AMU B.Tech admissions. AMUEEE is a university-level exam conducted by AMU itself. Candidates must register separately for AMUEEE and appear in the exam. The exam is typically conducted in April each year.

Ans. AMUEEE is a written entrance test covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at the Class 12 level. The exam is typically OMR-based or CBT-based and is conducted in English medium. The syllabus is broadly aligned with the CBSE/NCERT Class 11 and 12 curriculum for PCM subjects. Candidates scoring below 20% marks in the exam are automatically disqualified from admission consideration. There is no negative marking in AMUEEE (verify from the official notification each year).

Ans. B.Tech AI graduates from ZHCET, AMU have good placement prospects given the high demand for AI/ML professionals in the industry. The AI branch at ZHCET has reported a highest package of Rs. 18 LPA and an average package of approximately Rs. 8 LPA. Top recruiters include IT companies, product-based firms, and startups in the AI/data science space. The overall ZHCET median package is Rs. 6 LPA (2024). Students with strong programming skills, AI project portfolios, and internship experience tend to secure the best placements.

Ans. B.Tech AI at AMU is among the most competitive branches at ZHCET due to its very limited intake of 25 seats and high demand. The AI branch typically requires a higher AMUEEE rank compared to traditional branches like Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Students targeting B.Tech AI at AMU should aim for a top rank in AMUEEE. The competition is intense, and students from strong PCM backgrounds with good problem-solving skills tend to secure admission.

Ans. No, branch changes are generally not permitted at AMU after the closing date of admissions. The seat allocation is done through a centralized counselling process where students fill their branch preferences, and once a seat is confirmed and the closing date passes, branch changes are not allowed. Students should carefully consider their branch preference during counselling. If a student is allotted B.Tech AI but prefers core Computer Engineering, they should indicate this preference during counselling itself, as upgradation to a higher-preference branch may be possible if vacancies arise during the counselling process.
