Nvidia AI Learning and Research Center has been established in the GL Bajaj campus to benefit the students from these possibilities. The center was inaugurated on June 8, 2022 by ex-Chairman of ISRO, Eminent Scientist, Rocket Man of India, Dr. K. Sivan. GL Bajaj is the first and only institute to install this server among all the institutes under AKTU in entire Uttar Pradesh. This server is being used by well-known universities of the world such as University of Chicago, MIT University, University of New York etc. to train students.
In his address, Dr. Sivan praised GL Bajaj Institute for this initiative. He said that students should always be excited to learn new things. AI is a new field and it is going to be very broad in future so students should start preparing for it.
