The Machine Intelligence master's programme enables the students to design, implement and analyse intelligent systems. Intelligent decision making and learning, and intelligent web-based systems are areas of growing emphasis in the digital world. Machine learning algorithms can figure out how to perform important tasks by generalizing from examples. This is often feasible and cost-effective when manual programming is not. Machine learning (also known as data mining, pattern recognition and predictive analytics) is used widely in business, industry, science and government, and there is a great shortage of experts in it. The Course provides the necessary foundation in Machine Intelligence as well 5 as other core subjects for a graduate level computer science education. Computers are learning to think, read, and write. They’re also picking up human sensory function, with the ability to see and hear (arguably to touch, taste, and smell, though those have been of a lesser focus). Machine intelligence technologies cut across a vast array of problem types (from classification and clustering to natural language processing and computer vision) and methods (from support vector machines to deep belief networks). All of these technologies are reflected on this landscape.

The area of cyber security also known as computer security or IT security is security applied to computers, computer networks, and the data stored and transmitted over them. The field is of growing importance due to the increasing reliance of computer systems in most societies. Governments, military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals and other businesses collect, process and store a great deal of confidential information on computers and transmit that data across networks to other computers. With the growing volume and sophistication of cyber-attacks, ongoing attention is required to protect sensitive business and personal information, as well as safeguard national security. Through MSc in Computer Science with specialization in Cyber Security we will be able to harness both students who would like to pursue traditional and non-innovative career choices like teaching and jobs in traditional government sectors as well as those who are open to challenging job options in corporate and allied sectors. The field of cyber security has grown very rapidly in recent years. The subject embraces technologies such as cryptography, network security, biometrics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, digital forensics, fraud detection, and penetration testing as well as management of security and trade-offs while implementing information security. The graduates of this programme can get hired as  Cryptography Engineer, Ethical Hacker, IT Auditor, Software Engineer, Security Engineer, Penetration and Vulnerability Tester, Security Analyst, Security Consultant,  etc. Further, graduates of this programme will be able to pursue PhD research in cyber security.

B.Tech or BE in any branch OR B.Sc with Mathematics as a core or complementary subject OR BA Mathematics OR BCA with aggregate 60% marks or above. Relaxation in marks to reserved candidates as per University norms.

Entry-level requirement is a minimum score of 60 percentage marks OR CPI/CGPA of 6.5 or above in 10 points in the qualifying degree. Rounding off of marks is not allowed. A candidate with CGPA less than 6.5 will also be eligible if the equivalent percentage for graduation is above 60% as per the respective university norms for conversion from CGPA to percentage. In such a case, the candidate will have to produce the official document or percentage equivalence certificate from the respective university showing CGPA to percentage conversion norms, at the time of admission. Students who have scored less than 60% in their graduation degree are not eligible for admission to the courses of Digital University Kerala. Candidates belonging to SC/ST and Persons with Disability categories are eligible for applying if they have minimum pass marks in the qualifying examination. SEBC candidates of Kerala State who are certified as belonging to non-creamy layer are eligible for 5% relaxation in the minimum required marks for qualifying examination, provided that the candidates have passed the examination.

Students should have a valid GATE score (as of 1st April 2023) or take CUET-PG (Test Paper Code: SCQP09) or DUAT (Digital University Aptitude Test) entrance test
