 Programme Overview:

"With AI and data, we’re not just solving problems; we’re creating possibilities."

IIT Delhi’s 6-month Certificate programme in Applied Data Science and Artificial
Intelligence: From Fundamentals to Deployment offers a comprehensive
grounding in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) principles and
applications. Starting with Python programming, data manipulation, and exploratory
data analysis, participants progress through supervised learning (regression,
classification) and unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction)
techniques. Advanced topics include deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural
language processing (NLP), with hands-on projects to apply skills in real-world scenarios.

The programme culminates in model deployment strategies, using tools like Docker and
cloud platforms, alongside best practices in MLOps and responsible AI. Through
real-world case studies and a capstone project, participants are prepared to develop and
deploy data-driven AI solutions ethically and effectively across diverse sectors.

 The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is one of the 5
initial IITs established for training, research, and development in
science, engineering, and technology in India. Established as the
College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared an
Institution of National Importance under the “Institutes of
Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963” and was renamed as “Indian
Institute of Technology Delhi”. It was then accorded the status of
a Deemed University with powers to decide its own academic
policy, conduct its own examinations, and award its own degrees.
Since its inception, over 48,000 students have graduated from IIT
Delhi in various disciplines including Engineering, Physical
Sciences, Management, and Humanities & Social Sciences.
