Empowering the next generation of AI researchers and innovators at IISc.
The Kotak IISc AI-ML Centre (KIAC) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) actively supports undergraduate education through dedicated instructional staff and a well-equipped computation lab that enhances hands-on learning in computing and AI-related coursework.
As part of its mission to foster practical learning and strengthen foundational skills among students, KIAC has appointed experienced UG Instructors who provide direct teaching assistance, lab supervision, and academic guidance for undergraduates. These instructors play a pivotal role in facilitating the effective use of the KIAC UG Computational Lab, a fully-networked facility designed to support coursework, programming exercises, and project work for students, particularly in the BTech Mathematics and Computing programme.
The centre offers a high-performance computing environment with 100+ desktops and dedicated GPU support, empowering students and researchers to run intensive simulations, AI training, and data-driven experiments efficiently.
The Kotak IISc AI-ML Centre (KIAC) proudly supported the iGEM competition for the financial years FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26.
A student team from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) secured a Gold Medal at the iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition in 2025, along with a nomination for the Best Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Impact Award.
The recognition came at the iGEM Grand Jamboree held at the Paris Convention Centre from 28–31 October 2025, which saw participation from over 400 teams worldwide. The 15-member IISc team, mentored by Samay Pande, addressed the critical issue of nitrate leaching with their project titled ARGUS-2440 (Ammonium Rhizospheric Generation Using Soil Bacteria).
