Latest Engineering Masters Courses

We are in the vanguard of automation and hence the demand for Artificial Intelligence, algorithms, databases, etcetera has been growing. Is it possible for Computer Science/ Information Technology graduates to compete for jobs in this technological advancement with basic knowledge? 

There are ample specializations coming up for CS/IT graduates in job roles like data scientists, computer system analysts, database administrators, software developers, web developers, and so on and so forth. Pursuing these specializations/courses can be more helpful for the future of work. It is actually fascinating to find courses on offer that cluster various interconnected subjects and specializations. For instance, a post graduate program - MSc (DIGITAL SOCIETY) offered at International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB profile / web).

Willing to get admission in different courses away from the mainstream engineering? 

Firstly, the candidates have to apply for preferred colleges from their respective college websites. Most reputed institutes conduct their entrance test for admissions. A national level entrance test- GATE is also considered by some institutes for shortlisting the candidates.

Here are some of the colleges/ Institutes offering various post-graduation courses & specializations for Computer Science/ Information Technology students:-

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)- It is the discipline of computer perception, reasoning, and action, or the intelligence demonstrated by machines. Computer functions such as reasoning, natural language, automated learning and problem solving are developed by human intelligence.
