Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET) has partnered with American chipmaker NVIDIA to establish the Thapar School of Advanced AI & Data Science (TSAAI) on its Patiala campus in Punjab.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by R R Vederah, Chairman of the Board of Governors at Thapar University, and Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director – Asia South at NVIDIA. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap in AI expertise, foster cutting-edge research, and promote innovation in artificial intelligence.
TIET will set up a dedicated data center using NVIDIA DGX systems, with infrastructure ready by the first semester of the 2024-2025 academic year to support an undergraduate AI degree program, AI courses across all disciplines, technical training for faculty and staff, research collaborations, and an AI startup ecosystem powered by NVIDIA edge computing.
TIET aims to ensure all graduating students will be AI literate within 2-4 years by integrating AI into the curriculum. Additionally, NVIDIA plans to extend its inception program benefits, designed to support startups, to qualifying AI startups incubated at TIET.
