It might be difficult to find a dedicated AI Engineering program after a diploma in ECE. These programs often require a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), or a related field.

Pursue a Bachelor's degree in CS, IT, or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning (if available). These degrees will provide a strong foundation in computer science concepts crucial for AI engineering.

Many universities in Karnataka offer these programs. You can search for universities through the Directorate of Technical Education, Karnataka website.

I hope it helps!
