The BTech Honors Program at NMIMS’ MPSTME allows students to pursue courses which lie outside their primary degree, and awards students with additional credits as per the courses taken. Both of us are a part of the AI and ML specialization. Our Honors degree will end in a Capstone project mentored by IBM, which will allow us to apply everything we have learnt over the course of our 3 year specialization towards a project of our choice.
There are many opportunities given to students enrolled in this Program; IBM has held multiple seminars, guest lectures and paper presentation competitions to encourage all the students enrolled in the program to think out of the box and gain a deeper understanding of how ML is used by corporations. IBM gave students from the BTech Honors Program internship opportunities in the domains of Python development and Machine Learning with their subsidiaries, and also gave students additional opportunities to do a Summer Project with the company.
