MEHTA FAMILY SCHOOL OF DATA SCIENCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE
The Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (MFDSDAI) at IIT Roorkee is one of the institute’s youngest academic units, established in 2021 with generous support from the Bhupat & Jyoti Mehta Family Foundation. We are dedicated to advancing education and research in AI and ML, offering a diverse range of courses across all academic levels.
Our B.Tech. in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is a robust undergraduate program, designed to equip students with cutting-edge skills. At the postgraduate level, we offer two M.Tech. programs and a Ph.D. program. Each year, we admit around 45 B.Tech. students and 50 M.Tech. students, while currently hosting around 25 Ph.D. scholars. Additionally, professionals from industries and research laboratories pursue sponsored postgraduate studies with us.
MFDSDAI boasts a dynamic team of 22 faculty members, including regular, joint, and visiting faculty with expertise across multiple domains. As we rapidly expand, we have faculty openings at both junior and senior levels and welcome applications for visiting faculty positions. We also encourage fresh Ph.D. candidates to apply for Post-Doctoral fellowship, DST INSPIRE Faculty or National Post-Doctoral Fellowship be a part of our MFDSDAI family.
The School is broadly organized into following discipline areas, and encourages inter-disciplinary studies.
Data Science
Data Science is the union of tools drawn from Mathematics, Statistic and Computer Science to process this Data by extracting meaningful insights from large and complex sets of data. Data Science is a blend of various tools, algorithms, and principles, with strong mathematical and statistical basis, with the goal to visualize, discover, explain and predict hidden patterns from the raw data in an intelligent manner.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence systems demonstrate the following behaviors associated with human intelligence: planning, learning, reasoning, problem solving, knowledge representation, perception, motion, and manipulation and, to a lesser extent, social intelligence and creativity.
