Artificial Intelligence & Data Science

About The Department

The Artificial Intelligence and Data Science department were founded in 2020 with one undergraduate program affiliated with Anna University, approved by AICTE. This course aims to provide the core technologies such as artificial intelligence, data mining, and data modelling and give intensive inputs in machine learning and big data analytics. By the end of this course, the students will gain cross-disciplinary skills across fields such as statistics, computer science, machine learning, and logic, data scientists and will have career opportunities in healthcare, business, eCommerce, social networking companies, climatology, biotechnology, genetics, and other essential areas. The central focus of this programme is to equip students with statistical, mathematical reasoning, machine learning, knowledge discovery, and visualization skills.
