Choosing Between AI & ML and AI & DS, Need College Suggestions

Hi everyone,

I could not clear JEE this year so I am exploring private colleges for BTech admissions.

I am mainly interested in AI-related fields, but I'm confused between:

AI & Machine Learning (AI & ML)

AI & Data Science (AI & DS)

Which one has better career opportunities and flexibility in the future? I'm interested in both placements and higher studies, so I'd like to understand the practical difference.

I am also comparing a few colleges and would appreciate honest feedback from students or alumni. Some options I'm looking at are:

UPES

KL University

DY Patil University (IST)

Bennett University

CU Unnao

I am not looking only at placement numbers. Things like teaching quality, internships, coding culture, industry exposure, and overall student experience matter to me as well.

Would love to hear your suggestions or experiences.

Thanks
