What's confirmed

4 sourced facts

Year of establishment 2008-09
2019-20 intake: CSE 60, EEE 60 (240 total)
UGEAC 2025 first round allotted CSE, AI & ML and EEE seats
AI & ML is absent from the UGEAC-2023 seat matrix and present at 60 seats in UGEAC-2024, so its first admitting session was 2024-25.

3 open questions

Whether the AI & ML intake has changed since 2024-25.
These dates come from the year-by-year state counselling seat matrices. A branch present in a year’s matrix is positive evidence it admitted that session; a branch absent is weak evidence, because a branch can exist with no seats allotted in a round.
The UGEAC 2021 and 2022 prospectuses and allotment documents could not be retrieved, so the 2021 to 2023 window cannot be closed. Neither AI, data science, cyber security nor IoT appears anywhere in the 2019-20 or 2020-21 counselling documents.
