On Question asked by student community
Hello,
Yes, many IITs now offer specialization BTech programs in AI and data science/engineering, separate from core CSE, while also providing AI/ML/robotics as electives or minors within CSE/other branches, with admission via JEE Advanced, but you'll find specific "robotics engineering" branches more at institutions like IITs/NITs, though IITs integrate robotics in AI/CSE.
I hope it will clear your query!!
