SHOULDN'T a student who has passed BTech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, having a valid GATE score, get admission to MTech in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science and Artificial Intelligence)?

- ANU KURUVILLA @Kochi

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."
