A two-year M.Tech in artificial intelligence and data science, launched for the 2025-26 intake with 24 seats.
Applied Sciences & humanities
Four departments carry the first-year core and the science teaching that every branch depends on.
Physics
Among the very first departments, teaching from the institute's opening day in September 1979. Its independent laboratory, built in 1986, runs to 2,700 square feet.
Chemistry
Established in 1979 and, in 2002, the first department here recognised as a VTU research centre.
Mathematics
Teaching the mathematics every branch depends on since 1979. A Kuvempu University research centre since 2005, with doctoral work in biomechanics and industrial modelling.
Humanities
Humanities supports the language, communication and management teaching that runs across every branch. The institute publishes little else about the department.
Research
Fifteen VTU-recognised research centres across CSE, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Textile, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and MCA — anchoring Ph.D. work and faculty research across the institute.
