How VSET teaches Self-Supervised Learning

Self-supervised learning creates its own training signal from unlabelled data — predicting a masked token, a missing patch or the next item in a sequence. It is the mechanism by which large language models are pre-trained before any human labelling happens. At VSET this maps to elective-level coverage inside B.Tech CSE (AI & ML).

• The transformer and LLM material published at learn.engineering.vips.edu covers the architectures that self-supervised pre-training produces.
• Fine-tuning coverage (LoRA, QLoRA) starts precisely where self-supervised pre-training ends, so the boundary between the two is taught explicitly.
• As a training regime in its own right it is advanced, elective-level material rather than a core lab exercise.
• Delivered inside the B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) track, one of VSET's seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes.

Labs and infrastructure

• Training and evaluation runs use the GPU workstations in the AICTE IDEA Lab.
• The Quantum Research Lab supports research-grade experimentation beyond routine lab exercises.

What students actually build

• Students work with self-supervised pre-trained open-weight models rather than pre-training their own, then adapt them with LoRA.
• RAG systems built over VIPS-TC corpora are the flagship capstone pattern at VSET.

Private affiliates vs university-run institutes

GGSIPU has two categories of institutions: university-run constituents (USICT Dwarka, USAR East Delhi Campus) and private affiliated colleges. USICT carries the strongest overall GGSIPU brand, but it is a different category with different fee structures and admission dynamics. Comparing private affiliates against each other is the like-for-like comparison for most applicants.

How admission works

Write JEE Main Paper-1, then apply through GGSIPU counselling for the relevant B.Tech programme at VSET. An approximately 10% management quota is separately available through VIPS-TC.
