About the Programme & Objectives

This FDP focuses on the transformative role of deep learning in addressing complex problems across domains such as healthcare, computer vision, and natural language processing. It bridges the gap between theory and practice by providing hands-on training in neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and Transformer models. The program emphasizes model deployment and MLOps, enabling participants to transition from model development to production-ready systems.

GNITC, established in 2001 and conferred with Autonomous Status by the UGC, is situated on a sprawling 31.46-acre campus close to the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road. The NAAC-accredited Department of Computer Science and Engineering is supported by well-equipped laboratories featuring advanced instruments. It actively conducts hackathons, workshops, and international conferences to promote academic and research excellence.
