Why study data science and AI
Banks, hospitals, shops and apps collect data every day. Companies need people who can clean that data, study it and build models that learn from it.
This course gives you the base for that work right after 12th. You learn how to program, how data is stored and analysed, and how machine learning and deep learning models are built.
- Write programs in C, Python and Java
- Store and manage data with database systems
- Analyse data and build dashboards in Power BI
- Build machine learning, NLP and deep learning models
- Finish a final year project and an internship
