About Special Programs

Special Programs brings together emerging and cross-domain skills. On the data and AI side you can learn Data Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT & Generative AI and Edge AI, plus Power BI for dashboards and MIS (Management Information Systems) for business reporting. For connected and automated systems there are Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Blockchain and Automotive HMI & UX. Employability Skills, MS Office and Embedded Linux & Yocto are also listed here to round out job readiness.

These programmes suit learners who want to work with the technologies companies are adopting now. Data and AI skills are useful in IT, banking, healthcare and manufacturing, while IoT and robotics connect to the automation and automotive industries around Chennai, Sriperumbudur and Hosur. Students and professionals from Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet can join based on their background. Some courses start from basics, others expect programming first, and the counsellor will help you choose a sensible order.

How to choose: If you are new to data, start with Data Analytics or Power BI, then move to Data Science and Machine Learning once you are comfortable with Python. Choose ChatGPT & Generative AI for practical AI use at work, Internet of Things (IoT) or Robotics for hardware-linked projects, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) if you want to automate office tasks.
