Dear Student,

The NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technologies, Hyderabad does not offer a B.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning course. However, the institute offers a 4-year full-time course in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning and Data Science. In addition, the NIAT encourages students to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at universities that have been accredited by the UGC. However, if you want to pursue a AIML course you may look for other colleges for admission, such as IIT Bombay, IIT Gandhinagar, VIT Vellore, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, HIET Ghaziabad etc.
