It enables us to provide educators with the abilities they need to negotiate complex educational environments, underscoring our commitment to academic achievement, said AICTE Chairman Prof. TG Sitharaman.
The curriculum will examine the broad effects of AI and data sciences on industries like science, engineering, healthcare, and the liberal arts. It will cover a wide range of topics, including data visualization, natural language processing, time series & optimization, applications, generative AI, and large language models.
The program will also look at newly available opportunities in the technology world.The Jio Institute’s director, Dr. Palak Sheth, declared, “At the Jio Institute, we are committed to advancing academic excellence by persistently pushing the boundaries of education.”
