Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are witnessing significant growth. AI applications span healthcare, banking, education, mobile apps, and social media. As a result, many students and professionals are eager to learn about AI and ML and seek the best courses to meet their needs. (Representative/Getty Images)
To pursue a career in AI after completing the 12th grade, students can opt for a B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence or Computer Science. Renowned institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) offer specialised courses in AI and data science. Private universities also offer courses such as B.Sc. in AI, BCA with AI specialisation, and B.Tech in AI and Data Science. (AI Generated Image)
AI enables machines to think and make decisions like humans. Machine learning, a subset of AI, allows computers to learn from data and improve over time. For instance, when students watch a video online and receive new recommendations based on their preferences, this is driven by machine learning. Graduates can pursue an M.Tech in AI/ML or Data Science. Many institutes provide online and part-time courses. For example, IIT Delhi and IIT Madras offer certificate and diploma programmes in AI and data science that can be pursued alongside a job. (AI Generated Image)
When selecting a course, review its syllabus to see if it covers Python, data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and project work. Check if the course offers internships or industry project opportunities. Students must focus on acquiring practical skills rather than just obtaining a certificate. (AI Generated Image)
After learning AI and machine learning, candidates can pursue roles such as data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI developer, or business analyst. These roles are in high demand both in India and globally and offer attractive salaries up to lakhs per month. (AI Generated Image)
