For graduates who want to build AI systems, not just use them.
India's AI talent gap is not in awareness, it is in engineers who can take a model from notebook to production and answer for how it behaves. This programme is structured around that gap. You will work through the mathematics, build and train models, and then deal with the harder questions: bias, drift, explainability, and what happens when a system is wrong.

For the people who will run the systems everyone else depends on.
Public administration is often misread as a civil service preparation course. It is broader than that. Governments, multilateral agencies, philanthropies, think tanks and corporate social responsibility teams all need people who can read a budget, evaluate a programme, and tell the difference between a policy that works and a policy that is merely popular. That is what this degree teaches.
