GLA University Mathura B.Tech {Hons.} Artificial Intelligence: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The B.Tech (Hons.) AI program is a premium, flagship offering with three key differentiators: (1) It is offered in collaboration with Intel and NEC, two global technology leaders, providing industry-grade curriculum and certifications; (2) It has a dual specialization in both AI and Analytics, covering machine learning, deep learning, NLP, computer vision, and big data analytics; (3) It has a higher eligibility requirement (75% in PCM vs 50-65% for regular programs), ensuring a more competitive peer group. The regular B.Tech AIML is offered in partnership with Microsoft and has a different curriculum focus.

Ans. Students enrolled in the B.Tech (Hons.) AI program at GLA University receive industry certifications from both Intel and NEC upon completing the relevant modules. These certifications are recognized globally and add significant value to the student's professional profile. The specific certifications cover areas such as AI, machine learning, data analytics, and high-performance computing. Details of specific certification tracks are provided during the induction program.

Ans. The higher fee reflects the premium nature of the program - Intel and NEC-sponsored Centre of Excellence labs, industry certifications from both companies, access to high-performance computing and cloud platforms, regular bootcamps and hackathons organized by Intel and NEC, and a curriculum co-designed with industry leaders. For students targeting AI/ML careers at top tech companies, the additional investment can be justified by the stronger industry connections, certifications, and specialized training. Students with strong JEE Main scores (85+ percentile) can also avail significant scholarship benefits that reduce the effective fee.

Ans. Graduates of the B.Tech (Hons.) AI program are prepared for high-demand roles including AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer, Business Intelligence Developer, and Research Scientist. Target employers include Amazon, NVIDIA, Microsoft, IBM, Accenture, Google, Intel, Samsung, and JP Morgan. Given the specialized nature of the program and industry certifications, graduates can expect starting packages in the range of Rs. 6-15 LPA, with top performers at leading tech companies earning significantly higher.

Ans. Intel@Unnati is Intel's initiative to provide cross-disciplinary project opportunities to students. Through this program, students enrolled in the B.Tech (Hons.) AI program at GLA University get access to real-world AI projects sponsored by Intel, starting from the first year itself. This provides early industry exposure and helps students build a strong project portfolio before graduation, which is highly valued by recruiters.

Ans. While GLA University does have provisions for internal transfers in some cases, the B.Tech (Hons.) AI program is a distinct program with a different curriculum and fee structure. Students are advised to carefully evaluate their interest in AI/Analytics and their academic preparedness (75% PCM requirement) before enrolling. The program is designed to be rigorous and industry-aligned, and students who are genuinely passionate about AI and data science will find it highly rewarding.
