Scope & Objectives
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI & DS) is an interdisciplinary branch of computer science that combines advanced computing, statistical methods, and data analysis to enable intelligent decision-making and predictive modelling. This field focuses on designing systems that can analyse large datasets, uncover patterns, and make data-driven decisions, transforming industries ranging from healthcare and finance to e-commerce and autonomous systems.
According to the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), the AI and Data Science sector is projected to reach $17 billion by 2030, highlighting the growing need for skilled professionals in these domains.
To address this demand and equip students with cutting-edge expertise, CMR University offers a comprehensive and specialised B.Tech programme in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
This pioneering B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in AI & DS is designed to provide a strong theoretical foundation in AI, machine learning, and data science, along with hands-on experience in real-world applications. Graduates will be well-prepared to tackle complex problems, drive data-driven innovation, and lead the digital transformation across sectors.
