Department of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science

The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science was started in the year 2022 with an intake of 60 students. The faculty members of the Department understand the importance of programming and how they make the students think and act differently. 

The Department has well-maintained computer systems as per the norms of AICTE and Anna University. All systems are connected to the Internet that has high bandwidth connectivity all round the clock, enriching the educational experience of students and faculty members.

The Lab is fully air-conditioned with about 500 systems and 5 nos of IBM Rack servers. All computer systems have original software installed in them pertaining to the curriculum. Students and faculty members can access the Internet whenever needed as we believe that the Internet is a positive step towards education.

Each classroom in the college is well-furnished with a LCD projector and computer system as part of our e-Learning process. The classrooms are Wi-Fi-enabled to encourage students in their learning process.

Faculty members and students are trained in emerging areas like RPA, AWS, Salesforce and IoT. Students are much more oriented towards latest technologies and faculty members are well-equipped to provide consultancy to industries.

The Department is continuously organizing seminars, symposiums, workshops and guest lectures on emerging technologies to enhance the knowledge of students and faculty members. The teaching and learning emphasizes on both theoretical as well as practical knowledge catering to the industrial needs.
