The Department of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at BGS Institute of Technology (BGSIT) was established under Adichunchanagiri University to meet the growing demand for AI professionals. The programme is designed to equip graduates with deep expertise in intelligent systems, data-driven decision-making, and cutting-edge AI technologies.
The department focuses on innovation in deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. Students work with industry-standard frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn in dedicated GPU-equipped laboratories from the early semesters.
Guided by the vision of sustainable development and value-based socio-economic impact, the AI&ML department actively collaborates with industry partners to ensure graduates are prepared for the rapidly evolving technology landscape.

I welcome you all to the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
The department works to develop engineering students with strong technical, managerial and social skills. Emphasis spans programming, algorithm design, operating systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning and more. We also improve soft skills, analytical capabilities and communication so students can compete confidently.
We blend academic rigor with hands-on exposure through hackathons, coding contests, quizzes, seminars, paper presentations, and expert talks. Students are encouraged in cultural and sports activities and have achieved notable milestones.
We are confident the department is ready to meet the exciting challenges of the digital era. I wish all the Students and Faculty a great academic career.
Labs support the theory curriculum with hands-on practice, small-group demonstrations and project work. Specific equipment & scheduling is shared with enrolled students each semester.
