Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras digital skills academy has launched a new online course on ‘Business Accounting Process.’ Interested candidates can apply for the course across the year. The Digital Skills Academy has partnered with ArthaVidhya to offer this program. The course is completely online, interactive and ‘job oriented.’ It has been built with an innovative concept of Virtual Office, embedded in Artificial Intelligence-based ‘Interactive Learning Management System’ (iLMS).

Highlighting the unique aspects of this course, Prof. K. Mangala Sunder, Head, Digital Skills Academy, IIT Madras, said, “The course is designed to provide students with a simulated environment (Virtual Office), giving the students a real-life simulation of actual work environment throughout the course.”

Further, Professor Sunder added, “The Artificial Intelligence platform provides the students with a virtual corporate environment carrying out various financial transactions in real-time. This helps the students to obtain an experiential learning equivalent to about 3 months of actual corporate working experience and makes them job-ready.”

The course is designed as per the Job roles (Qualification packs) of NASSCOM (IT – ITES Sector Skill Council) and has been certified by them. In addition, the general features of this course have also been reviewed by Prof. M.
