Vishwa Vishwani Institute of Systems and Management (VVISM) Hyderabad has launched a new four-year Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science program with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The degree will be awarded by Osmania University.
This program aims to equip students with essential computer science knowledge, business fundamentals, ethical considerations, and problem-solving skills. A key feature is the curriculum’s framework, approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC). This framework mandates students spend their first two years studying at VVISM and the subsequent two years gaining practical experience through industry apprenticeships.
Program Structure and Curriculum
The BS Computer Science curriculum covers core computer science subjects. These include data structures, algorithms, full-stack development, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and Python programming. The specialization focuses on AI, ML, and Data Science, technologies identified as shaping the future of the industry.
TalentSprint, a part of Accenture, will deliver 40-50% of the program’s teaching sessions. This collaboration is designed to integrate industry expertise directly into the academic curriculum.
