Hii,

If you belong to a PCB background and want to explore fields like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. But there are some important things to keep in mind. Usually, B.Tech in AI and DS comes under engineering courses, so most colleges prefer students who have studied Mathematics in Class 12 (i.e., PCM or PCMB). That’s because the course involves coding, statistics, algorithms, and problem-solving all of which need a solid foundation in Maths. Some private universities or deemed colleges offer direct admission to PCB students, either by relaxing the Maths requirement or by admitting students through management quota. You may have to take an additional foundation course in Mathematics or coding in the first semester. A few colleges have started B.Sc. in AI & Data Science programs that are more flexible with eligibility. These are not engineering degrees but can still lead to good careers in AI, especially if you're open to further certifications.Since you haven't given the JEE or any entrance exam, you'll have to look for colleges that offer direct admission based on Class 12 marks, have a management quota, or conduct a basic aptitude test or interview, and accept PCB students also.It’s better to call or email the admission desk directly.
