If you carefully analyze the domains of Data Science and Machine Learning , you will realize that math and statistics form the core of these specialized streams. I would say you are better equipped to enter Data science than your peers who took up science.

The only thing which you should focus on now is building complimentary skills and certifications through colleges that hold a strong pedigree. You can compare and analyze the ones that best fit your needs. Along with learning data management, which is a great complementary skill to AI , it is essential to focus on other streams such as Deep Learning and enterprise-based AI solutions. These skills will make you a full stack skilled professional to enter the domain of AI and Data Science.

Your learnings as a commerce student with a math background would give you a head start in understanding multiple statistical algorithms which form AI solutions. To be better equipped in solving practical industry based use cases, here is a suggestive list of functions that you may focus upon, to be the best for the industry.

• Big Data management and data pipeline management.

• Core understanding of how ML works and the various algorithms that can be readily used based on the use cases.

• Deep understanding of the domain where AI solutions are being implemented and established. Some popular areas can be Retail, Oil & Gas and Finance.

• Data representation and visualization.

• Managing continuous learning and data discovery platforms.

• Hands-on popular tools and languages such as Jupyter notebooks, Google colab, python, R,SAAS solutions and open source libraries.

With add-on skills and learning streams, you can establish yourself as a professional in the Data Science & AI domain. As you gain actual hands-on and solve pragmatic case studies you will see your career grow exponentially to further explore multiple domain implementations  and solutions.

Hello, I hope you are doing well

Yes, you can pursue B. Tech in Ai and Data Science through lateral entry even after B. Sc. There are many colleges which offer B. Tech Lateral entry after your completion of diploma or B. Sc. This course is about programming the application or software, intelligent machines and visualization technologies, etc. This course also defines various fields like signal processing, neural networks, and data mining, etc.

The candidates with 10+2 education are eligible for admission in BTech Lateral Artificial Intelligence And Data Science. It is a full-time regular course. The average academic fee for this program ranges from INR 2 lakh to 04 Lakh.

Here is the list of some entrance exams you can give to get admission in this course:
