The Department of AI at IIT Hyderabad helps in creating a complete ecosystem for AI Academics and Research at IIT Hyderabad. The department offers B.Tech, M.Tech. and PhD programs (full time and part time). The emergence of the department is the consequence of the heavy demand from the industry on artificial intelligence and data analytics, and the need to tackle the many fundamental and foundational research problems arising in a rapidly evolving field. The department's mission is to
- Train students to have a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the theory and practise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
- Enable students to become leaders in the industry and academia nationally and internationally
- Meet the pressing demands of the nation in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The Department of Artificial Intelligence has a sizable number of highly dedicated and dynamic faculty members, with a wide variety of expertise. Faculty publishes regularly in top AI conferences and journals such as NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, IJCAI, CVPR, ICCV, ACL, EMNLP, AAMAS, JMLR, TIP, TACL etc. Currently there are 29 faculty members affiliated with the AI department. Candidates can discover the profiles and teaching/research areas of different faculty members by visiting Faculty Profiles
The PhD students will be provided with excellent laboratory facilities that they can access at any time. The laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including software and hardware (including high-end DGX servers and other GPU servers).
The Department of AI seeks talented and dedicated PhD students to develop highly skilled human resources who can contribute to modern and cutting edge research in AI.
Eligibility Criteria for Application to the PhD program:
The Eligibility criteria for regular PhD program is MTech/Equivalent Degree in CS/ECE/EE or related areas in Artificial Intelligence. The applicant must have already earned the Master's degree, or should at least be in the final year of the respective pro-gram. In the latter case, it would be assumed that the candidate will be able to complete the degree by the time of admission into the PhD program. Candidates with MSc/MCA/equivalent PG degree with an EMDS at IIT-H may apply for Regular PhD program.
The Department of AI considers Direct-PhD admission , where the eligibility criteria is BTech/BE/MCA/MSc/Equivalent Degree in any engineering discipline or Maths, and have a valid GATE score in CS/EC/EE/MA/ST. Candidate with BTech/BE/MCA/MSc/Equivalent Degree in any engineering discipline or Maths from any Centrally Funded Technological Institutes (CFTI), with CGPA 9 or above can apply without a valid GATE score (For candidates from IITs/NITs/IIITs this is relaxed to CGPA 8 or above).
The Department of AI also considers Direct-Phd admission , where the eligibility criteria is BTech/BE/MCA/MSc/Equivalent Degree in any engineering discipline or Maths, and have a valid GATE score in CS/EC/EE/MA/ST. Candidate with B.Tech/M.Sc in any engineering discipline or Maths from any Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), with CGPA 8 or above can apply without a valid GATE score

The award of the Ph.D. degree is in recognition of high achievements, independent research and application of scientific knowledge to the solution of technical and scientific problems. Creative and productive inquiry is the basic concept underlying the research work. The details of research programmes in various Departments/Centres/Schools.
Course work and other academic requirements: In order to overcome any deficiency in the breadth of fundamental training or proper foundation for advanced work, special make up or pre-doctoral courses are given by each Department/ Centre. These courses are given either by faculty member or by guest speakers and specialists in the profession.

*A Department/Centre may specify a higher credit requirement for all their PhD programmes and/or require an individual scholar to complete a larger number of credits based on his/her background and preparation level.
Admission to the PhD Programmes: Admission to the Ph.D. programmes is normally made on the basis of an interview conducted by the Department/Centre concerned through its Department Research Committee (DRC) / Centre Research Committee (CRC). DRC/CRC may decide to conduct a written test as well to screen the candidates. Applications are invited from candidates by advertising the programmes in Employment News/leading newspapers in March for the first semester and in October for the second semester every year.
Admission schedule: Normally, Ph.D. programmes are advertised in the month of March and October each year in the Employment news as well as in leading newspapers and admissions are carried out in the months of May and December.

PG Admissions (Semester 1, 2024-2025) for PG/PhD programmes
Selected Candidates
Hostel AccommodationFor pg/ph.d full time students only. There is a severe hostel crunch in the campus due to which it is NOT possible to provide hostel accommodation to postgraduate (PG) students (including PhD). However, the Institute strives to provide a hostel seat (normally on sharing basis only) on priority, if available, to admitted female students, students with special needs (SwD - Students with Disabilities, formally admitted as PwD) and foreign nationals. Hence, it is to be noted that the offer of admission at IIT Delhi does not guarantee on-campus accommodation. The best support, pertaining to accommodation, is in form of providing the contact information of some off-campus accommodation that may be available within walking distance of the campus. Please note that these off-campus accommodations, if available, operate independent of IIT Delhi. Further, while staying off-campus, there are provisions for making one of our on-campus messes available to students for food on monthly subscription basis. For any query in this regard, you may contact [email protected], Tel. 011-26591784 .

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has announced the result of the Graduate Aptitude Test For Engineering ( GATE 2021 ) at its official website, gate.iitb.ac.in, on March 19. A total of 1,26,813 candidates have qualified the test this year. The exam is held primarily for admission to MTech programmes and selection for PSU jobs, but direct entry to PhD with the Prime Minister's Research Fellowships (PMRF) in top engineering colleges is also via the GATE. Institutes offering PMRF include all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, all Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs) and a section of the other centrally-funded technical institutions. In May 2020, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' had announced significant amendments in the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF) scheme. Two channels of entry to the PhD and fellowship programme were created -- direct and lateral. One requires the candidate to have qualified GATE, the other doesn't. The eligibility criteria for the two paths into PhD with PMRF at the IITs, IISc, IISERs and other CFTIs are given below. With GATE 2021: Direct EntryTo apply for PMRF through direct entry channel, a candidate must meet the criteria relevant for their group to be eligible: The candidate should have completed or be in the final year of a Bachelors or Masters degree programme in science and technology at recognised institute or university in India with CGPA of 8 or above and should have attained a GATE score of 650 or above in the relevant subject in the previous three years. GATE 2021 was conducted in 27 subjects. However, if the candidate obtained their degree from a CFTI, a GATE score is not necessary. The candidate should have qualified GATE and completed or be pursuing MTech or MS by research at one of the PMRF-granting institutes and must have a minimum CGPA of 8 or above at the end of the first semester with a minimum of four courses. Without GATE 2021: Lateral EntryIn the lateral entry path, students who are pursuing PhD in PMRF-granting institutions can also apply to become a fellow under the scheme. However, they need to have spent 12 months or 24 months -- depending on whether they joined with a Bachelor's or Master's degree -- in the PhD programme before becoming eligible. Reduced GATE ScoreFor students from any recognised institute or university other than IISc, IITs, NITs, IISERs, IIEST, IIITs and CFTIs, the requirement of GATE score is reduced to 650 from 750 apart from a minimum CGPA of 8 or equivalent. The National Institutes of Technology (NITs) among the top 25 institutions as per NIRF ranking will also be eligible to grant the fellowship.
