Yes, you can start without a coding background.
Most colleges begin with basics like programming (usually Python), so you won’t be thrown into advanced AI topics immediately. The real challenge is consistency—coding needs practice.
If you’re completely new, focus on:
- Understanding logic first
- Practicing small programs daily
- Not rushing into advanced AI topics
A lot of students struggle because they skip the basics and jump into machine learning too early.
If your college doesn’t provide enough hands-on learning, try learning from external sources or platforms. Some people use programs like MH Cognition to get more practical exposure alongside their degree.
