IIT Hyderabad Launches MTech in AI for Chemical Engineering

• IIT Hyderabad launches new MTech programmes integrating Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning with Chemical Engineering and computational methods.
• Admissions based on GATE scores, targeting graduates interested in interdisciplinary chemical engineering and advanced digital technologies.
• Curriculum focuses on process optimization, data-driven modelling, smart manufacturing, and innovative solutions for modern chemical industries.

The Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad has announced a new MTech programme in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Chemical Engineering which combines chemical engineering with advanced digital technologies through its interdisciplinary program.

The programme prepares students to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for solving complex challenges in chemical engineering and industrial processes. The program will accept students through valid Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) scores which applicants can use to apply after GATE results become available.

The institute described the programme as one of the first initiatives in India that integrates traditional chemical engineering concepts with data-driven technologies such as AI machine learning and computational modelling.

The curriculum trains students to use advanced algorithms and analytics for process optimisation and materials discovery and reaction engineering and smart manufacturing systems. The course combines engineering fundamentals with contemporary computational techniques to create professionals who can solve industrial problems through digital innovations.
