Introduction & Background

Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of the human process by machines. Artificial

intelligence and machine learning are rapidly changing our world and empowering the
Fourth Industrial Revolution. ML can solve many real world problems in the fields of
Computers, Electronics, communications, signal processing to name a few. Since the last
decade it is receiving growing attention globally both from industries and academia. Hence
there is a need to introduce and make expertise in this domain to the students to compete
with the contemporary world with the help of this trending technology.
Our goal with minor in ML is to:

1. Train the students to get expertise in the relevant areas of MLand make them industry
ready.
2. Increase the placements by targeting the ample number of industries working with AI &
ML
3. Contribute towards Research through publications in ML, as most of the accepted research
works in EC and CS are based on AI and ML.
4. Establishing research labs in collaboration with industries and MoUs with other reputed
national and international institutions.
5. Encourage Innovation and entrepreneurship in AI.

The objective of this Request for Proposal is to locate a source that will provide the best
overall value to RGUKT RK Valley.
