Introduction
A 2025 Deloitte Global Gen Z and Millennial survey reveals that over 94% of Gen Z students value hands-on experience over theory. Students today want more than just long lectures and memorization of concepts. They are realising that the real-world demands skills where they build, create and solve practical problems. This is particularly relevant in the tech and engineering world.
At Mirai School of Technology, we believe in the same idea. The future of engineering education lies not in rote memorization or outdated textbooks, but in real-world relevance, industry exposure, and personalized growth. That’s why we’ve reimagined the traditional B.Tech curriculum to meet the demands of tomorrow.
The Curriculum 2.0 is a cutting-edge undergraduate B.Tech program with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, built around three powerful pillars: project-based learning, mentor-led development, and outcome-focused design.
This curriculum isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a radical shift in how engineers are trained to build, lead, and innovate in a world increasingly driven by AI and deep tech.
Curriculum 2.0 at Mirai
The standout feature of theMirai School of Technologyis itsAI-first, tech-driven curriculum. This curriculum is designed to prepare students for the future of work in artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional B.Tech programs, Mirai offers hands-on experience with real-world coding, AI tools, and industry-grade projects — starting from day one.
In their first year, students lay a solid foundation in AI by studying core subjects such asMathematics for AI,Advanced Data Structures in C++,Front-End Web Development, andData Science & Programming.
The second year is focused on creating functional, real-world AI applications. Students dive into subjects likeDBMS and Operating Systems,Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing,Computer Networks,System Design, andDeep Learning.
In the third year, students tackle more complex domains such asCybersecurity,Advanced System Design,Generative AI, andBlockchain.
The final year focuses on full-scale development and deployment. Students studyDevOps and Cloud Computing,Software Engineering,.NET Development, andSpring Boot.
Across all four years, Mirai students also gain exposure toreal-world outcomesthrough real world projects such as building acloud monitoring tool, developing asecure digital wallet, securingpaid internships at top tech firms, and many more.
This structured, project-heavy, and industry-aligned B.tech curriculum at Mirai ensures that by the time students graduate, they aren’t just degree-holders — they’reAI professionals with experience, portfolios, and purpose.
What is Project-Based Learning?
Project-Based Learning is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively work on real-world challenges and problems and gain deeper knowledge as a result. Unlike traditional lecture-based learning, Project based learning allows students to build, test, fail, rebuild and learn by doing.
At Mirai, your education won’t just be about passing exams. From your first semester, you’ll work on hands-on projects that reflect actual industry challenges, whether it’s building a cloud monitoring tool, building a decentralised storage system, or designing a secure digital wallet. Each course is structured around the core subjects which students learn in that year of college such as Deep learning, GenAI, cloud computing, etc and demands critical thinking, technical skills, teamwork, and creativity from the students.
Why Project-Based Learning Works
In project-based learning, students learn by doing and the outcomes are transformative. The reason why project-based learning works is:
- Deeper Understanding: Instead of memorizing formulas, students understand concepts by applying them in real-life scenarios.
- Better Retention: Practical work sticks. Students remember what they build and solve more than what they read.
- Job-Ready Skills: PBL bridges the gap between college learning and workplace requirements. Students develop the tools they’ll actually use in tech companies, startups, and research labs.
- Builds Confidence: Presenting your projects, facing real-time feedback, and iterating solutions builds confidence and communication skills which are key traits of any successful engineer.
How MIRAI Enables Project-Based Learning
At Mirai, project-based learning isn’t an afterthought. It’s built into the DNA of our curriculum.
- Practical projects - Each subject includes one major project as part of assessment, pushing students to apply what they learn in class to solve real problems.
- MiraiVerse Labs, Sentient Robotics Lab and AI Forge: Our campus houses labs specifically designed for AI based coding, AI – virtual world experimentation, and robotics-based developments.
- Industry Hackathons & Startup Sprints: Students take part in inter-college challenges, innovation sprints, and startup idea pitch fests, mentored by tech leaders from the field.
- Project Showcase at Every Semester End: Students present their work to mentors and industry experts and receive valuable critique and appreciation.
What Does “Mentor-Led” Mean?
At Mirai, every student’s journey is supported not just by professors, but by a curated pool of industry mentors, tech founders, domain experts, and researchers. Unlike other institutions where mentorship is occasional or optional, Mirai makes it a core part of your learning experience.
Every batch is assigned mentors who conduct review meetings of your projects, offer technical and career guidance, help in building a portfolio and professional profile and share insights from the real world of AI, product development, and startups.
How Mentorship- Led Learning Helps
- Real-World Exposure: Mentors bring case studies, tools, and techniques from the real world, keeping you ahead of the textbook.
- Confidence Boosting: Students get individual attention, which helps overcome self-doubt and clarify goals.
- Better Networking: Through your mentors, you access a wider world of internships, events, and opportunities.
- Faster Growth: Having someone walk beside you, not just teach from a distance helps a lot by accelerating both your technical and personal development.
What is Outcome-Focused Learning?
In many engineering colleges in India, students graduate without clarity on what they’ve achieved or what they’re ready for. This leaves them very vulnerable and helpless in the current job market. At Mirai, we work by defining clear outcomes for every semester, every skill set, and every student.
By Outcome-Focused, we mean that your BTech education is mapped to what the world actually needs and what you personally want to achieve.
Some of these outcomes include:
- Building a strong AI & tech portfolio through industry recognised AI certifications.
- Gaining industry 6-month long internship before graduation.
- Mastering tools like Python, C++, Linux, Prompt Engineering and NLP each semester.
- Participating in World-renowned hackathons like SIH, ACM-ICPC, etc.
- Clearing interviews for top tech companies through mentorship.

Why This Matters More Than Ever
Nowadays AI is not just a buzzword, it's transforming every domain from healthcare to art all around the world. B.Tech programs are struggling to keep up with this transformation. Traditional degrees fall short in teaching the interdisciplinary thinking and technical depth that AI demands.
Mirai’s Curriculum 2.0 addresses that gap head-on. Whether you want to be an AI engineer, a product manager, a tech entrepreneur, or a researcher, this is a place where your potential is nurtured and the outcomes are achieved.
