M.Tech in Computational Linguistics

M.Tech in Computational Linguistics

MTech (CL) is a course-work intensive two year program in which students of computer science background get opportunity to learn how to apply computational knowledge for natural language processing that includes Machine translation, Information extraction and retrieval and Speech Technology. The students do three semesters of course work. They start working for their MTech project in the third semester and devote the last semester entirely for the project.
