NMIMS Global Invites Applications For 24-Month Master of Science Programme

March 3, 2021: Data is now the world's most important fuel for business profitability and creativity. Immeasurable computer technologies have generated an insatiable demand for qualified professionals that are proficient in techniques that drive automation, maximise information, generate clarity and more from data; more than one million Artificial Intelligence professionals will be expected globally by 2021. NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing Education and Knowledge Partner INSOFE have therefore planned a 24-month Master of Science program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Operations (MS in AI and ML Ops) to provide working professionals with an ability to build a deep foothold in an industry that is set to expand to US$275 billion by the end of 2023.

Skyrocket your career growth graph

There has been a 45 per cent increase in the adoption of AI in India and almost 65 per cent of the jobs in the IT sector will witness a transition in job roles over the next five years due to automation and digitisation. Currently, there are close to 91,000 artificial intelligence personnel working across enterprises in India with a median salary of Rs 14.7 Lakh. Due to this phenomenon, the Indian tech industry is poised to add 1.38 lakh jobs in FY20-21 alone.

Career assistance is an integral part of the MS in AI & ML Ops programme. Learners will get access to 500-plus top hiring partners of NMIMS Global & INSOFE and also get access to NMIMS Global’s job portal and gain CV & interview assistance.

Gain a competitive edge with an immersive learning experience

The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Ops is designed to provide deep technical training to the student in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The programme offers over 750 learning hours including with more than 220 teaching hours & over 212 lab hours in a flexible online-blended interactive format specifically designed for working professionals.

It adopts a holistic approach that allows students to apply knowledge via multiple routes such as internal assessment, examination while gaining hands-on experience at a Bootcamp and acquiring in-depth knowledge through a Scholar-guided Masters’ Dissertation.

The five-day residential on-campus boot camp will be held in Mumbai and provide a hands-on opportunity to solve real industry problems, build and scale prototypes and applications. Similarly, the Master’s Dissertation project of over 200 hours will encourage exhaustive study and lending experience on using complex research-driven data and applying it to solve business problems spread across 20 weeks. Students can choose from the following industry-relevant electives: Advanced Machine Learning areas like Computer Vision, Natural language processing (NLP), Big Data, Robotics, and Reinforcement Learning. Students will be able to;

• Understand & solve complex machine learning problems with competencies in data mining, regression analysis, text mining, and predictive analysis
• Gain confidence and mastery in the entire AI algorithm development and deployment cycle (understanding business problem to analytical and mathematical problem, data understanding, data preparation, modelling, evaluation, and deployment)
• Analyse & solve big data problems using engines like Apache Spark & Hadoop Ecosystem. Get competencies in algorithm development and visualisation tools including R, Python & Tableau and specialised advanced machine learning areas such as NLP, Big Data, Robotics & Reinforcement learning.
• Draw strong computational and application architecture knowledge to deploy and scale AI and ML applications.

Learn from the best

During the programme, students will learn from the sharpest leading minds in the field of AI & ML. They will gain academic and industry insight from expert faculty including over 50 nationally acclaimed scholars, PhD. Holders from Top Universities with over 75 patents, more than 20 years average work experience and over 300 research papers. They together bring depth in the approach to Data Science education.

Knowledge partner INSOFE has routinely ranked amongst the top Data Science schools in the country and has academic affiliations with several high-ranking Indian and International Universities and several prominent institute-industry. Moreover, NMIMS Global and INSOFE are both names to reckon within the halls of the top corporates of India with alumni who have successfully transitioned to key leadership positions at Capgemini, Optum, Quadratyx, DXC technologies, Ericsson, HP, Honeywell, MosChip, Target, Tesco, Tech Mahindra, Amazon, Credit Suisse, Flipkart, Rakuten, BYJU’s, Arcadis, The Math company, Sutherland, Uber, Soothsayer Analytics.
