In this video, I attended a seminar for IIT Madras BSc Computer Science students. The main focus of the talk was the ongoing AI boom, the current state of the tech market, and its future direction. It also covered topics such as what to do if you're from a lower-tier college, key areas to focus on while pursuing an online degree, and a discussion on online vs. offline degrees, among many other insights.
