 In partnership with Coursera, two online certificate programs Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, and Data Science will be launched by Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, or IIT Roorkee, in early 2021.

An official statement stated that it will be a six-month certificate programme in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning which will consist of different video lectures, hands-on learning opportunities for candidates, team projects, tutorials, and workshops.

The statement added that in addition to providing the knowledge of coding and mathematics, the program will also teach classical ML techniques which is necessary for building AI and ML expertise, and provide hands-on programming experience  for model building with Tensorflow , robust ML production, and powerful experimentation.

For a career in data analytics, the certificate program in Data Science will help learners to develop Python and SQL programming skills necessary  and provide knowledge on machine learning algorithms. IIT Roorkee stated that no prior knowledge of coding in Python, R, or SQL is required to apply for the programme.

Prof. Ajit K. Chaturvedi, who is the Director, IIT Roorkee, said in a statement that “They are very much delighted to partner with Coursera in order to fulfill the goal of inclusive education of the New Education Policy. Further, this partnership will also play a major role and help us to reach out to a global audience of students and professionals who are aspiring for quality teaching in these sought-after areas”.

Apart from IIT Roorkee, there are 150 top universities around the world, which offer programmes on Coursera  including Yale University, Stanford and Imperial College of London .
