IIT-Ropar starts programme in AI, data science

Ropar, June 30

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Ropar, has joined hands with the Punjab Skill Development Mission (PSDM) to impart classes on artificial intelligence (AI) and data science through a certificate course.

Faculty members of the department of electrical engineering, Rohit Sharma and Satyam Agarwal, have been awarded the project by the PSDM for one year.

Owing to the lockdown, schools and higher education institutions faced challenges in moving their operating model to online overnight, as most of them followed a classroom-led delivery model. This resulted in an overarching dropout rate among students in Punjab and India as a whole.

The course is designed to cater to the demand and need of data scientists and AI workforce in near future. — TNS
