Artificial Intelligence and Data Science: fees and semester cash-flow worksheet for IEM and UEM

Reconcile the displayed tuition

The Kolkata 2026 displayed Artificial Intelligence and Data Science schedule is ₹140,000 in semester one and ₹115,000 in each of the remaining 7 semesters, totalling ₹9,45,000. This is a dated programme reference, not an all-inclusive quotation or a confirmed later-intake offer. Match the exact award and campus before using the figures in a personal budget.

Build the course-specific expense list

Ask which shared compute and data resources serve the combined programme and whether access is reliable during project deadlines. Separate compulsory platform fees from optional external training. Budget for data storage and reproducible development before advanced paid tools. A resource list is useful only if undergraduates can actually use those resources for assessed work.

Map payments to the household calendar

For Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, list each of the 8 semester due dates in a separate row and enter the written tuition amount beside it. Add accommodation, food and transport as separate recurring categories. Keep booking payments in their own column until the institution confirms whether they reduce the tuition balance. A deposit must not be counted twice or assumed refundable without its terms.

Test what the expenditure buys

Map compulsory subjects into computing foundations, probability and statistics, data systems and AI methods. Check prerequisites and assessment hours rather than merely counting module names. Ask which topics are electives and which every student completes. A programme promising several fields should show how students practise them in connected projects without losing essential foundations.

Build a prediction workflow with a documented data collection process, a descriptive analysis, a baseline model and a held-out evaluation. Explain where a data-quality decision changes the model result. Present one useful failure case as well as the aggregate score. The project should connect statistical reasoning and software reproducibility rather than treating a notebook as a complete product.

Compare a conservative funding case

Recalculate the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science plan without an unconfirmed scholarship, internship stipend or hoped-for placement income. Mark equipment and travel expenses as mandatory or elective using written information. Ask for the withdrawal and refund schedule before paying. Keep the source year beside ₹9,45,000; a different campus, award or joining batch needs its own quotation.

The engineering microsite lists AI and DS at New Town. Confirm that this is the location named in the current offer, and ask which department manages laboratories and projects. Do not transfer Salt Lake AIML eligibility or placement information into this programme merely because both titles contain artificial intelligence.
