    I think it is a good initiative from IIT, Khargapur. We should appreciate the support offered by TCS in this regard. Artificial intelligence ( AI) is becoming more prominent and knowledge in this subject is very much needed especially for young people.
    Academicians and industry professionals are joining hands means we can expect a good syllabus and the students who complete this course will definitely get some hands-on experience in the field which will help them in getting placed in a good job.
    More details like what is the eligibility and what are the various points they are going cover in the program are required to know how beneficial the course is for a student. But anything about AI these days is very useful, I feel.

    It is heartening to note that IIT Kharagpur is going to launch a short programme on Artificial Intelligence consisting of 100 hours weekly programmes with the support of TCS to enable the needy students to understand the different features of AI.
    It would certainly benefit the student- community in this area. Since it is being formulated by IIT itself supported by TCS, the course - structure would contain all the relevant inputs to make the students full familiar with the current tools for their benefits.
    It would be suitable to those aspirants who are really interested to acquire proficiency in AI but lack timing to join a regular course related to this area, but the online course would help them to get right experience and inputs so as to get a job in the area of AI.
