Ashwini Vaishnaw holds meeting with the industry on Revamp of the AI Curriculum

Government of India is collaborating with the industry for a comprehensive overhaul of the AI curriculum to better equip learners for emerging technological trends. Union Minister for Electronics & IT, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, held a high-level meeting with the AI Curriculum Taskforce, in New Delhi in this regard.
The Taskforce conducted a baseline study of the existing Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) Computer Science and allied curricula in Indian educational institutions. The exercise was undertaken in partnership with industry experts and the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM).

While the study acknowledged that AI coverage in Indian curriculum has expanded, it identified significant gaps. These were in pedagogy, infrastructure, and practical exposure in fields such as Generative AI, Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) and foundational model development.(UPDATED ON 28TH MAY 2026)
