IITM Advanced AI & Deep Learning Programme: The India Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation has announced the launch of the Advanced Certificate in Applied Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning. The programme features a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum designed to equip professionals with advanced skills in machine learning, deep learning frameworks, data analytics, and emerging AI technologies. As per the dates released, the programme will begin on September 13, 2025, with the online application deadline on September 6.

The 7-month, LIVE online programme, delivered in collaboration with TimesPro, has been designed to cater to the growing demand for AI-literate professionals who can drive innovation, optimise operations, and shape intelligent systems across sectors. A highlight of the programme is the inclusion of a dedicated month-long capstone project, allowing learners to apply theoretical insights to real-world problem-solving using structured, image, or text data.

The new IITM Pravartak programme is poised to address this critical talent shortfall with a curriculum rooted in statistical reasoning, ML/DL algorithms, LLMOps, generative AI and cybersecurity applications. The curriculum spans nine intensive modules, including Python for Data Science, Probability & Statistics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning Foundations, AI Applications, and a capstone project focusing on end-to-end AI workflows.

The programme is open to graduates and postgraduates in engineering, mathematics, or computational sciences, as well as professionals seeking to transition into AI roles or future-proof their careers with domain-aligned analytical capabilities. Learners can also explore career opportunities in roles such as data scientist, ML engineer, data analyst, AI/ML research scientist, business intelligence analyst, deep learning engineer, and quantitative analyst, among others.

The programme, delivered via Direct-to-Direct (D2D) Mode, includes interactive online sessions conducted by IIT Madras' distinguished faculty and top industry experts, supplemented with webinars, assignments, and optional campus immersion at IIT Madras Research Park. Successful learners will be awarded a Certificate of Completion from IITM Pravartak, Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Madras.

Dr. M.J. Shankar Raman, CEO of IITM Pravartak, said, “Artificial Intelligence is the bedrock of next-generation innovation. With this programme, we aim to bridge the industry-academia gap by creating professionals who can solve complex challenges using real-time data intelligence. Learners will not only grasp theoretical models but will emerge with the technical depth and agility to lead AI initiatives across domains.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro noted, “At TimesPro, we remain committed to democratising high-impact education for future-centric careers. Our collaboration with IITM Pravartak brings forth a rigorous and immersive learning experience, ensuring that professionals can thrive in roles such as data scientists, AI/ML engineers, product analysts and deep learning specialists. This is more than just a certificate—it is a career-transforming journey.”
