About Department

The Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI&DS) at Pune Vidyarthi Griha’s College of Engineering and Shrikrushana S. Dhamankar Institute of Management, Nashik was established in the Academic Year 2021–22 with an initial intake of 60 students. Due to the increasing demand and vast scope in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, the intake capacity was enhanced to 120 students from the Academic Year 2025–26.

Artificial Intelligence and Data Science is an interdisciplinary field focused on developing intelligent systems capable of learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and data analysis. The department aims to prepare students with advanced technical knowledge and practical skills in emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, and Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are transforming industries including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, retail, and research.

The department is equipped with six well-established laboratories, namely Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, and IoT laboratories. Modern classrooms and highly configured computer systems provide students with an effective environment for academic learning, research, and project development.
The department is supported by highly qualified and experienced faculty members who guide students in academics, innovation, research activities, and industry-oriented skill development. The overall objective of the department is to develop competent professionals capable of contributing to next-generation intelligent technologies and data-driven solutions.
