BTech in Civil Engineering or Civil, Infrastructure Engineering: What to choose?

As engineering admissions gather pace across the country, many students are comparing the long-established BTech in Civil Engineering with the newer BTech in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering. While the course names sound similar, many students wonder whether the newer programme offers better career prospects or a different learning experience. According to Dr P Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao, Assistant Professor at the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre, IIIT Hyderabad, the distinction lies primarily in the academic emphasis rather than the engineering fundamentals. Dr Rao notes that while the technical foundation remains common, students in infrastructure-focused programmes often work with broader questions involving urban mobility, integrated planning and long-term infrastructure management.
AI traffic cop VIOLA helps Telangana police detect violations using dashcams

IIIT Hyderabad researchers have developed a virtual traffic cop—VIOLA, an AI-powered traffic violation detection system that uses low-cost dash cams installed in police patrol vehicles. The technology deployed with the Telangana Police reported that nearly 96 per cent of the violations submitted by the AI are accurate. Presently, traffic enforcement depends on CCTV cameras and hand-held cameras with traffic police personnel. These cameras are expensive to install and maintain and limited to fixed locations. Further, drivers know where the cameras are and where they are not. In addition, the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology currently being used is unable to catch all violations automatically without humans in the loop. The AI model analysed footage to detect helmet violations, triple riding, wrong-side driving and other offences.

Between Appointments: A Desi Digital Companion Who’s Got The Patient’s Back

Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore and IIIT Hyderabad’s Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC) have developed BandhuCare, a multi-lingual AI-powered patient engagement platform designed specifically for cancer care. Unlike consumer AI assistants, BandhuCare, instead of trawling through the internet, answers questions only from information carefully curated and verified by clinicians. While CMC provided domain expertise and anonymised medical data, IIIT-H developed machine translation technologies that could be refined using continuous feedback from clinicians. The project, supported by the National Cancer Grid and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India – MeitY’s India AI initiative, has reached Technology Readiness Level 5, with ethics approvals in place for clinical pilot studies involving patients.
