CSE (AI & ML) — branch code AM — is a specialised flavour of CSE offered in 129 college-branch combinations in 2025, versus 405 for plain CSE. So plain CSE gives you roughly three times more colleges to choose from, which matters when you're building a deep choice list. Substance-wise, AM keeps the CSE core but swaps some electives for dedicated ML coursework; plain CSE at most colleges lets you take the same topics as electives anyway. Anna's rule of thumb: college first, label second. A strong college's plain CSE beats an average college's AM for learning and placements. If a target college offers both, list them adjacent in your preference order rather than skipping one.
