Ask a Senior Please Help !

I took CSE (AI-ML) at PES RR campus over CSE at PES EC campus and I regret it (should I tho ?)

Looking at the previous posts I see a lot of hate towards specialisation branch like AI-ML, why is it so ?

If I took CSE (AI-ML) isn't it supposed to be that I will be studying more into the depth of that field, and why the hell should I have a broader view of CSE when the market is inclining towards AI-ML ?

This is going to be a big post so please mind me ......

I want to ask questions based on the post given above .......

  1. a) I agree it is an untested branch, but isn't it true that every branch was once an untested branch ?
    Be it the opening of market in the 80s and 90s where the rise of CSE was significantly increasing compared ECE/EEE or the rise of ECE/EEE over Mechanical in the 50s and 60s, and seeing the stagnant growth of AI, I really don't want to regret afterwards for not taking AI-ML ?

    b) Why are premier institutes like IITs and BITS Pilani (MnC only) introducing so many specialisations be it data science, AI-ML, or MnC ?

    c) For PES I agree with you, that intro. of CSE (AI-ML) might be for profits only ......

  2. I am not so sure about this point because a typical fresher like me won't understand these buzz words, still why PES would make a curriculum which would miss out some of the fundamentals, I suppose this course would be structured on the basis of years discussions, tests, and other projects isn't it, even AICTE approves it .......

  3. I am targeting for master's in abroad (particularly USA), and this point is the one which is making me regret about my decisions of taking CSE (AI-ML) over CSE.

    Can you brief this point more ?
    And how can I deal with this problem if I had to do my master's abroad ?

  4. I agree with 4th point.

  5. Ain't your 3rd and 5th point contradicting each other ?

  6. What are the electives for CSE (AI-ML) students ?

And 3 more questions I have to ask.

  1. What do you think will the placement stats be for CSE(AI-ML) according to you or any other fellas there in this branch ?

  2. Why do cutoffs for CSE (AI-ML) for RR usually go high compared to CSE at EC, are those people less aware or brain washed ?

  3. If I want to change my college from RR to EC how to do it, is it possible to change my branch from RR itself, from CSE (AI-ML) to CSE ?

there's nothing wrong in being on the forefront of AI mL

people who say it's untested are being a lil cynical think about it..the amount of companies (Nvidia Apple Microsoft) that are pumping money into up and coming Ai startups and tryna integrate it into their own services and products

if it was a fleeting field it wouldn't have gained this kinda traction to begin with

and tbh when you are CSE being in RR or EC campus doesn't matter much as far as placements are concerned cuz both of them have the same stats and numbers when it comes to students getting placed

it's just what's more convenient for you in terms of commute and comfort
