Ayodhya: Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a concept people talk about—it’s now becoming a core part of classrooms and labs. And for students, a major opportunity is on the way.
Dr. Rammanohar Lohia Avadh University is preparing to introduce a BTech programme in Artificial Intelligence at its engineering college. If everything goes as planned, admissions could begin from the upcoming academic session itself. This move is expected to benefit students not just in Ayodhya, but across the Devipatan region, allowing them to pursue AI studies closer to home.
Currently, the university offers six engineering branches, including Computer Science, IT, Electronics and Communication, Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering, with around 2,500 students enrolled. AI is presently taught as a subject, but the administration is now working to upgrade it into a full-fledged branch, enabling students to earn a dedicated BTech degree in the field. The university also offers MTech programmes.
Registrar Vinay Kumar Singh confirmed that if there are no hurdles, students will be able to enroll in the AI BTech programme from the new session.
Faculty members highlight that AI is no longer just an academic subject—it’s becoming a practical toolkit. According to educator Vineet Singh, AI helps students bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. With AI-driven tools and smart learning systems, students are now able to better understand complex coding, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms, while also working on data analysis and advanced research beyond traditional coursework.
