Jio Institute has started admissions for its one-year full-time post graduate programmes (PGP) in emerging areas of artificial intelligence & data science and digital media and marketing communications.
The PGP in artificial intelligence and data science (AI & DS) aims to instil theoretical capabilities and provide the know-how to create practical solutions for enterprises and society, while the same in digital media and marketing communications (DM & MC) will seek to help students acquire knowledge on how to manage the customer experience in the digital age by innovatively engaging, serving and communicating with them.
The AI programme is designed for early-career professionals who aspire to become full-stack data scientists and the digital media programme is designed for those who aspire to build a career in areas such as marketing communications, brand consulting, digital marketing, marketing analytics, and consumer research, an official statement said.
Prospective students applying for the AI & DS programme must have completed at least one course at the undergraduate level in either Computer science or IT or Mathematics or Statistics or Economics, while the DM & MC candidates should have at least a three-year undergraduate degree in any discipline.
