MCA (Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning)

Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning (AI &ML) relates to the field of computer applications and helps in making the intelligent systems or machines that can simulate the human behaviour, their thinking capability. It works either on the basis of data without or with the explicitly designed program or machine algorithm. Few examples where AI is used are online Game playing, customer support using catboats, robot, intelligent humanoid, Siri, work on artificial intelligence. Machine learning works on the information extracted from data and it is considered as subfield of artificial intelligence. ML is used for predictions or in decision making based on the past data, for example, online recommendations, picture detections, search engine algorithm, auto-friend tagging suggestions etc. Realizing the importance of the field and its wide application in today’s world business, Uttaranchal University offers specialization in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML) to students enrolled in MCA program.

MCA with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is a two years post graduate program to impart right knowledge and industry ready skills to develop intelligent machines and solve real world problem through AL & ML techniques. The curriculum and teaching – learning pedagogy is so designed that it balances between theoretical component and practical exposure through projects, internships, industrial visits, expert interaction and conducting technical workshops. Some of the key concepts of Python, Panda, Scikit are well explained through lab sessions and having regular doubt clearing sessions. Special focus is given on courses related to computer programming, Algorithm, probabilistic modelling, machine learning and pattern recognition.

Career Prospects:

Candidates having MCA with specialization in AI & ML have great employment opportunities in top recruiting companies and organization as Data Scientist, ML Engineer, Robotics scientist, AI engineer, BI developer, and Big data Analyst. Students can also enroll in a doctorate programme and make their career in research.
