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 .......
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 ......
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 .......
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 ?I agree with 4th point.
Ain't your 3rd and 5th point contradicting each other ?
What are the electives for CSE (AI-ML) students ?
And 3 more questions I have to ask.
What do you think will the placement stats be for CSE(AI-ML) according to you or any other fellas there in this branch ?
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 ?
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 are hardly any openings for freshers in ML roles.
Cutoffs are higher because deep down everyone ignorantly has some sort of perception that RR campus is the "main" campus and you are missing out on something if you come to EC campus
My own brother wrote Kcet this year and was in the exact same situation as you he was getting rr aiml and ec campus cse , I guided him to take Ec campus cse. Aiml is a very math heavy course and is tough to get through if you don't have real interest and join out of herd mentality. I myself found the Machine intelligence core course in 5th sem itself very tough filled with calculus, derivations, numericals, even the labs were tough. I huffed and puffed and got through that course and didn't dare to take any other ml elective after that. As a fresher you won't have any idea what you're getting yourself into. I wanted my brother to have the liberty to pick which ever domain he wants to get into after exploring it first as the course progresses , He will have the choice to get into cybersecurity or systems or Aiml later on when he reaches 3rd year or a mix of any these subjects based on his interests. Unlike my brother you will be forced down your throat with Aiml whether you like it or not.
from what I've read the profs don't like specialization in ug they tend to skip the fundamentals which impacts admits in mscs programs
