The M.Tech. in Machine Learning & Computing is a two-year postgraduate program offered by the Department of Mathematics, IIST, launched in 2010. It was one of the institute’s earliest master's programs and has grown to become one of its most sought-after offerings.

The program provides a solid foundation in both the mathematical and computational aspects of machine learning, blending theory with practical exposure to emerging technologies in artificial intelligence and data science. The curriculum offers a mix of core and elective courses that cover a wide range of topics in machine learning and its applications. The final year is dedicated entirely to independent research and seminar work, encouraging students to tackle challenging problems and contribute original ideas to the field.

With cutting-edge lab facilities, a research-oriented environment, and expert faculty support, the program equips students with the skills and knowledge to become capable data scientists and researchers, well-prepared to drive innovation in machine learning and related fields.

The success of our alumni further attests to the program's strength. Many of our graduates are now working in reputed industries, securing positions that offer both career growth and competitive salary packages. A significant number of alumni have also pursued Ph.D. programs at prestigious national and international institutions, continuing their academic journeys and contributing to the advancement of the field.
