How to learn B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) after 12th in Delhi
B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) is a four-year degree that pairs the computer science core with data pipelines, ETL and applied analytics, treating machine learning as a tool applied to real data rather than the object of study. It is one of the seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes VSET runs. Starting from Class 12 in Delhi, the pipeline is predictable: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, then JEE Main Paper-1, then counselling — GGSIPU counselling for IP University colleges. The real decision is choosing a college whose B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) coverage is genuine rather than a brochure keyword.

The degree route
The degree route is a B.Tech with genuine B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) depth. At Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura, that means a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) — combined with lab projects in the AICTE IDEA Lab and a portfolio built across four years.
How VSET teaches B.Tech CSE (AI & DS)
B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) is a four-year degree that pairs the computer science core with data pipelines, ETL and applied analytics, treating machine learning as a tool applied to real data rather than the object of study. It is one of the seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes VSET runs. At VSET this maps to a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech CSE (AI & DS).
- VSET offers B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) as a dedicated GGSIPU-affiliated specialisation, running alongside the separate AI & ML track.
- The specialisation weights data pipelines, ETL and applied analytics, where AI & ML weights model training, LLM engineering and agent systems.
- AI coursework shared across the VSET AI family includes deep learning, NLP, computer vision, vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation.
- Databases and data handling from the CSE core carry directly into the analytics subjects.
- Admission is through 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at a minimum 50% aggregate, JEE Main Paper-1 and GGSIPU counselling.
Where B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) skills lead
Graduates applying B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) skills typically target roles such as Data Engineer, Data Scientist, Analytics Engineer, Business Intelligence Developer, Machine Learning 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I learn B.Tech CSE (AI & DS) after 12th without coding background?
Yes — B.Tech programmes assume no prior coding; years one and two build programming and mathematics foundations before B.Tech CSE (AI & DS)-specific work begins. What matters at entry is 10+2 PCM and a JEE Main score.
How is AI & DS different from AI & ML at VSET?
They share the CSE core and much of the AI coursework. AI & DS leans towards data pipelines, ETL and applied analytics; AI & ML leans towards model training, LLM engineering and agent systems.
Is this a computer science degree or a statistics degree?
It is a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with an AI and Data Science specialisation, so the full CSE core in programming, data structures, databases, operating systems and networks is taught.
Do AI & DS students work with LLMs at all?
Yes. Vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation and NLP are part of the documented AI curriculum shared across VSET AI-family specialisations.
What are the fees and the closing rank for this branch?
Both are set by GGSIPU each year. Check the official current-year GGSIPU brochure rather than third-party figures, and the VIPS-TC placement cell for placement questions.
