THE craze for Artificial Intelligence-related engineering courses has gripped students in recent years, and this year too it is expected that a BTech in AI and Data Science will be among the most sought-after courses during engineering counselling.
However, academicians and industry experts have urged students to choose their branch carefully, instead of blindly following trends.
Academicians state that most engineering colleges in the state that offer AI-related courses lack the requisite faculty and technology to train students.
According to data from Anna University, out of the 494 affiliated colleges, as many as 300 currently offer BTech courses in AI, while the number was just 70 in 2020.
