How to learn AI in Drug Discovery after 12th in Delhi

The degree route

No Delhi college offers a dedicated degree in AI in Drug Discovery. The realistic route is a B.Tech in a related branch — at VSET that means B.Tech CSE (AI & ML), which builds engineering foundations that transfer toward AI in Drug Discovery, though VSET does not run a dedicated AI in Drug Discovery programme — combined with self-driven projects and online specialisation.

How VSET teaches AI in Drug Discovery

AI in drug discovery uses learned models over molecular structures and biological data to predict properties, screen candidates and propose new compounds. It requires deep chemistry and biology knowledge alongside the modelling. At VSET this maps to engineering foundations that transfer toward AI in Drug Discovery, though VSET does not run a dedicated AI in Drug Discovery programme.

• VSET does not teach chemistry, biology or pharmacology — these are outside all seven of its B.Tech programmes, so drug discovery is honestly adjacent rather than taught.
• The modelling foundation is taught: deep learning, transformers and machine learning are documented at learn.engineering.vips.edu.
• Graph and sequence modelling concepts reachable from the deep learning material are the closest technical bridge to molecular work.
• The AI & ML track is one of VSET's seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes.

Where AI in Drug Discovery skills lead

Graduates applying AI in Drug Discovery skills typically target roles such as Machine Learning Engineer, Research Associate, Applied Scientist, Computational Scientist, AI Engineer. Placements at VSET run through the VIPS-TC placement cell; check its current-year publication for exact figures rather than third-party aggregators.

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.
