February 16, 2026
The ASM AI Fest 2026 runs through February 28 and promotes an AI-First Mindset across teaching, research, learning methods, and administration to prepare graduates and staff for pervasive AI adoption.
The festival features world-class AI workshops that move beyond awareness to practical AI applications, aiming for AI to amplify human capability rather than substitute it.
The event will conclude with a closing ceremony on February 28, reinforcing ASM’s leadership in AI-integrated education across its programs, including MBA, PGDM, MCA, Engineering, undergraduate studies, and School & Junior College.

The initiative is described as one of the region’s largest AI-driven academic efforts and positions ASM as a pioneer in AI-integrated education aligned with national AI objectives.
As part of the sustained transformation, ASM will form institute-wide AI Task Forces, establish the ASM AI Centre of Excellence, deploy the Navdrishti App for automated student lifecycle management, and introduce AI into PGDM Dual Specialisation Programs.
The long-term roadmap includes institute-wise AI Task Forces, a Center of Excellence for training and research, and the Navdrishti App with AI-enabled placements and broader expansion into academics and finances.
Institutional AI roadmap highlights creating task forces, a CoE for training and research, and Navdrishti for automated student lifecycle management with initial AI-enabled placements and later expansion.
AI integration spans the entire ASM academic spectrum—from MBA, PGDM, MCA, and Engineering to undergraduate and School/Junior College—preparing learners for a future with pervasive AI adoption.
A PGDM Dual Specialisation Program with AI integration was launched, signaling program-level AI incorporation across curricula.
Program implications include AI-driven analytics for MBA/PGDM, ML tools for MCA/Engineering, AI-influenced entrepreneurship and data-driven decisions for undergraduates, and foundational AI literacy for younger students.
The initiative aligns with India’s IndiaAI Mission and Digital India, aiming to position India as a global hub for AI talent and to embed AI across education and administration.
