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 MAIT stands

Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Rohini is a private GGSIPU affiliate. Strong overall brand and placement record; AI coursework primarily within CSE-family programmes. This page does not restate MAIT's internal curriculum — check its official site for current programme details.

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.
