However, according to the rules of Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat), this is not the case. The person is eligible only for MTech in IT!

Speaking to TNIE, a candidate, who had a harrowing time seeking admission to MTech in DS and AI, says, "I graduated with excellent marks in BTech AI and DS from a reputed engineering college in the district. I even had a very good GATE score. But when I tried to submit my application for admission to the MTech programme in DS and AI at Cusat, I could not find any options available."
