BTech In AI Vs Computer Science Engineering: Which One Is Better?

Many students find themselves confused between pursuing BTech in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE). In order to select the right branch in BTech, it is important to keep some important things in mind ranging from job opportunities to salary packages. These days, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are in great demand. Many top engineering colleges have also started BTech in AI courses. Before taking an admission BTech course, students should know which branch of AI and CSE will be more beneficial for them and which one has more scope. Many people believe that BTech in Artificial Intelligence and BTech in Computer Science and Engineering are separate branches. All India Council for Technical Education does not recognise AI as a distinct discipline. Instead, AI is a specialisation within the CSE program.

Students can focus on AI while pursuing a BTech in CSE. It will cover numerous topics like machine learning, and Natural Language Processing (NLP). BTech in AI is not a separate branch, but a focused area within the broader CSE curriculum. These subjects mentioned above are optional in BTech CSE.

In BTech CSE, fundamental computer science programming, algorithms, data structures, databases, operating systems and other subjects related to AI are optional.

1. Tech in AI: Benefits and Challenges.

   There are many benefits and challenges in BTech AI.

   Benefits:

   1. Provides never ending learning opportunities and keeps updated with the latest industry happenings throughout the career.

      Challenges:

      1. Rapid changes in the field of AI.

         Need for a solid base in mathematics and programming.

         Tech in CSE benefits:

         Comprehensive understanding of computer science.

         Opportunities in software development, database management and networking.

         Career opportunities in various sectors.

         Tech in CSE Challenges:

         It sometimes becomes more competitive.

         It is also necessary to stay updated with the changing technology every day.

         Though there are several pros and cons in both of these courses, high package jobs can also be easily found in both branches of engineering. Professionals with expertise in AI and machine learning will not get a higher salary, but will also get more opportunities in future.

         Know about the salary structure of AI and CSE engineers in some major companies:

         1- Google:  Rs 1.5 crore to Rs 3 crore annually.

         2- Microsoft: Rs 1.2 crore to Rs 2.5 crore annually.
