Karnataka: Artificial Intelligence, Financial Education must for Degree Students

New batch of students who registered for undergraduate studies in 2021-22 and onwards will be studying two new mandatory subjects that is Artificial Intelligence and financial education. These subjects will be introduced in the revised syllabus under the New Education Policy scheme in the state of Karnataka.

Second year undergraduate students will be studying these subjects irrespective of the course or stream they choose as their major area of study. However, as Computer Science students will be studying artificial Intelligence in detail in their course syllabus, these students will be excluded but financial education and investments will be mandatory for them too. Colleges will have the authority on deciding in which semester which subject is to be included during second year i.e. third or fourth semester.
