* The programme integrates open source libraries such as Pandas, Matplotlib as well as Gen AI modules equipping early and mid-professionals with comprehensive understanding of AI and data science
The growing demand for AI-driven decision-making across industries underscores the rising demand for skilled professionals who can transform raw data into actionable insights. However, there's a substantial 51% disparity in between the demand and supply of AI/ machine learning (ML) BDA tech talent in India as highlighted by NASSCOM’s State of Data Science & AI Skills in India report. Acknowledging the need to bridge this gap, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Bangalore has announced the launch of its Data Science and AI programme.
The 16-week online Data Science and AI Programme is specifically curated for early professionals seeking a solid understanding of Python, data science, and foundational knowledge of machine learning and generative AI applications. It also caters to mid-managers looking to apply these concepts to data science, machine learning, and generative AI projects, equipping them with the skills needed to excel in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
VIT has introduced this programme to equip learners with the essential skills required to become an AI-powered data scientist. Through the integration of open sources libraries like Pandas and Matplotlib in the curriculum, participants will master Python, industry-standard language and will gain expertise in leveraging AI techniques. The machine learning algorithms will enable them to tackle real-world challenges and unlock the hidden potential of data. By bridging the gap between data analysis and intelligent decision-making, VIT empowers professionals to excel in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
According to the report by Analytics and Data Science Jobs in India report, 2023, jobs for data science professionals with two to five years of experience grew by 34%. Another report by Grand View Research, 2023 highlights that the global AI market is expected to reach a staggering by 2030, fuelling a surge in data science jobs. These data rightly emphasise the need for advanced courses like VIT Bangalore's Data Science and AI Programme. It offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, focusing on industry-relevant skills, tools and real-world challenges. By integrating real-time industry relevant tools, the programme ensures that learners are well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of the data science and AI landscape, empowering them to become leaders in this dynamic field.
The VIT Bangalore’s Data Science and AI Programme includes in-depth exploration of ML algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning, as well as time series analysis. Delivered by VIT Bangalore’s renowned faculty expert in Data Science, ML & AI, the programme offers recorded as well as live sessions and an industry-tailored curriculum. It also features hands-on Jupyter notebook exercises, real-world case studies for Python-based data science exploration, as well as live interactive masterclasses for Generative AI and other modules to help learners understand concepts effectively. Moreover, the programme comes at a cost-effective price point, making quality education more accessible to a wider audience. The programme includes modules such as popular data science packages in python, data visualisation with Matplotlib, and intro to machine learning and python libraries, alongside GenAI modules such as foundations, Python implementation, data science applications and synthetic data creation among others.
Through this programme, participants will be able to:
· Get an overall understanding of the Python language and its applications in data science and ML
· Learn how to manipulate and visualise data to generate insights
· Dive into Machine Learning techniques and discuss applications of ML tools and frameworks
· Get a functional knowhow of how to apply tools and frameworks to real-life examples across industries
· Dive into live sessions on Generative AI, covering foundational concepts, hands-on implementation, and practical applications. Learn about GANs, VAEs, and synthetic data creation to enhance your data science skills and career prospects
· Gain hands-on experience with live sessions on Python functions, data science packages, data analysis, visualisation, data cleaning, and EDA with linear algebra
The ‘Data Science and AI Programme’ will commence on 30 September 2024, with a fee of INR 50,000 plus applicable taxes. Upon successful completion of the programme with a minimum grading of 70%, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion from VIT Bangalore. Visit the programme page for more details.
