CSE with AI and Machine Learning: fees and semester cash-flow worksheet for IEM and UEM

Reconcile the displayed tuition

The Kolkata 2026 displayed CSE with AI and Machine Learning 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 what shared compute, GPU booking, storage and laboratory hours are included. A demonstration using a paid cloud service does not establish that every student receives sustained access. Set a personal cap for optional model experiments and use small reproducible baselines first. Separate a compulsory institutional charge from an elective external course or competition cost.

Map payments to the household calendar

For CSE with AI and Machine Learning, 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

Look for linear algebra, probability, statistical learning, optimisation and model evaluation alongside algorithms, operating systems and databases. Ask where students learn leakage prevention, experimental design and reproducibility. Count assessed practical work rather than appearances of the word AI in module titles. Check that foundational mathematics comes before specialised modelling exercises.

Construct a classifier on a dataset you are permitted to use. Separate training, validation and test observations before preprocessing, define a simple baseline and compare an improved model under the same evaluation. Explain false positives, false negatives and limitations for different groups. Keep the data provenance, random seeds and execution instructions with the results.

Compare a conservative funding case

Recalculate the CSE with AI and Machine Learning 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 CSE AI and ML at Salt Lake and an AI/ML option at Jaipur. These references do not establish identical courses, fees or entry rules. Ask which programme, university and campus your offer names, then request the corresponding semester scheme and laboratory timetable.
