It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (AI & ML) at Gopalan College of Engineering and Management (GCEM). We are in an era where Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it is a present-day reality shaping industries, transforming lives, and redefining how we interact with the world.

The CSE (AI & ML) program is designed with a forward-looking curriculum that blends core computing fundamentals with cutting-edge topics in AI, Machine Learning, Data Science, Deep Learning, and related domains. Our focus is not only on academic excellence but also on nurturing innovation, ethical thinking, and real-world problem-solving capabilities.

Our department is supported by a dedicated team of faculty members who bring in a rich mix of academic expertise and industry exposure. We believe in a hands-on learning approach, and our students are encouraged to participate in research, hackathons, projects, and internships right from the early semesters.

We are also proud of the start-up culture being cultivated within the department, as students take bold steps toward entrepreneurship and product development, supported by mentorship and institutional backing.

As the HOD, my vision is to create a vibrant academic environment where students are inspired to dream, innovate, and lead. I encourage our students to take full advantage of the opportunities provided—be it through research, collaborative projects, or industry interactions.

Let us strive together to build intelligent systems that are not only smart but also inclusive, transparent, and beneficial to society.

Warm regards,

Dr. Manoj Challa, B.E, M.E, Ph.D.
Professor & HOD – CSE(AI&ML)
