Department of Artificial Intelligence


IIT Hyderabad

Kandi, Sangareddy
Telangana: 502285
Overview:
The Department of AI is a newly launched department at IIT Hyderabad. Considering the inter-
disciplinary nature of AI, a separate department helps in creating a complete ecosystem for AI
Academics and Research at IIT Hyderabad. The department will offer B.Tech, M.Tech. and PhD
programs (full time and part time), and plans to offer a variety of Minor Programs in AI. 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 foun-
dational research problems arising in a rapidly evolving field. The department’s mission is to
1. Train students to have a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the theory and
practise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
2. Enable students to become leaders in the industry and academia nationally and interna-
tionally.
3. Meet the pressing demands of the nation in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Ma-
chine Learning.
The Department of Artificial Intelligence has a sizable number of highly dedicated and dynamic
faculty members, with a wide variety of expertise. Currently there are 22 faculty members affili-
ated with the AI department. Candidates can discover the profiles and teaching/research areas
of different faculty members by visiting
https://ai.iith.ac.in/faculty.html.
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 hard-
ware (including high-end GPU servers). All the laboratories are provided with internet connectiv-
ity.
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 and industrial demand in AI.
