• Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science Engineering with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning is one of the top-notch careers of this new decade. Technology is such a field, which never gets static. It’s a dynamic branch of sweeping innovations and experiments.
• While Artificial intelligence is driving towards creating a simulation of human intelligence and behavior, Machine learning on the other hand is a subset of AI that enables a computer system to make predictions or take some decisions using historical data without being explicitly programmed.
• According to research, it’s estimated that about 30 percent of all the B2B companies will be employing AI to boost at least one of their sales processes. This throws light, on a very important aspect of this field, the ‘job demand’ in the market. With a B.Tech in the field, one would expect much higher returns in comparison to other traditional engineering fields.

IBM Innovation Centre for Education (IBM ICE) is a ‘unique global initiative’ by IBM, to offer much needed applied information technology knowledge to graduating students, in various dominant and futuristic technology areas.

IBM ICE’s cutting-edge programs shall be delivered in collaboration with Sri Sri University with IBM as the ‘Knowledge Partner for emerging technologies and Sri Sri University acting as the Academic Partner .

IBM ICE Programs on Emerging Technologies are extremely intense and delivered face-to-face in conjunction with IBM’s futuristic online delivery platform- ‘Industry-Academia Collaboration Framework’. This novel approach ensures that deep applied knowledge is delivered to students through broad-based industry alignment & interactions, leading to talent discoverability & excellence in students’ professional makeup-thus helping them to be ‘industry & future ready’.

Program wise pre-requisites for joining IBM ICE Programs being offered in collaboration with Sri Sri University are as follows:

• • B.Tech – 4 years – Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
  • B.Tech – 4 years – Data Analytics

Even as technology changes to keep up with the needs of a changing world, Computer Science programs are often out-of-date, and in some cases, obsolete. Students thus need significant training after employment before they can be deployed and contribute to the employer business. IBM ICE provides cutting-tech technological knowledge and Industry-specific training, with a state-of-the-art delivery model and the students are  provided with the requisite knowledge and skills to thrive in a constantly-changing landscape, allowing them to bring immediate value to their employer.
