IIT Mandi and NSDC Announce Certificate Programs in Data Science and Machine Learning

A certificate and advanced certificate programme in data science and machine learning have been introduced by the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi. The advanced certificate programme will last nine months instead of the six that the certificate programme does. The programme will begin the first week of November 2022. On October 15–16, the eligibility test for both programmes will take place.

The courses are designed to give students the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in data science and to specialise in machine learning using Python for making decisions based on data. The IIT Mandi academic members will run the programme through live-streamed sessions. IIT Mandi and NSDC shall jointly give the programme certificate after the course is completed.The courses are designed to give students the opportunity to develop a solid foundation in data science and to specialise in machine learning using Python for making decisions based on data.

"The global need for Data Science and Machine Learning professionals is expanding rapidly," Professor Tushar Jain, Head of the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), remarked in reference to the new courses. IIT Mandi's new certificate programmes are created to provide students with abilities that are in high demand across all industries. We have embraced a new approach in this era of skill development, which was started by other IITs. Students or working professionals will have the option to study cutting-edge data science and machine learning ideas, just like our B.Tech students at IIT Mandi. The registered students in these programmes would benefit greatly from being able to upgrade their abilities in accordance with the expanding industry demands.
