IIT Roorkee introduces certificate programme in building AI-powered business applications; open for all graduates or diploma holders
The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has recently launched a four-month certificate program aimed at equipping working professionals with the skills needed to create AI-powered business applications, without the necessity of coding knowledge. This program, developed by iHUB DivyaSampark at IIT Roorkee, focuses on teaching participants how to build practical AI solutions using no-code methods, AI agents, and intelligent workflow automation.
According to McKinsey's 2025 survey, 88% of organizations have already integrated AI tools into their daily operations; however, scaling and implementing AI remains a considerable challenge. Additionally, a recent IDC report revealed that critical AI skills shortages are primarily associated with implementation and scaling.
In response to these findings, IIT Roorkee has added this postgraduate certificate program to its curriculum, catering to working professionals who wish to capitalize on the increasing integration of AI in business processes. During the program, participants will gain hands-on experience with over 15 AI and automation tools, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, NotebookLM, Dify, Flowise, n8n, Make, and Airtable.
Furthermore, attendees will delve into topics such as Generative AI, Agentic AI, responsible AI, governance, security, and deployment readiness. The curriculum aims to illustrate the practical applications of AI across various domains, including research, reporting, operations, collaboration, and decision-making workflows.
The program fee amounts to Rs 1,09,000 (excluding GST). Eligible candidates must possess a graduation or diploma degree along with a minimum of three years of professional experience. The iHUB DivyaSampark will conduct the lectures through live online weekend sessions, with three-hour classes held on Saturdays and Sundays. Notably, prior coding experience is not a prerequisite for enrollment in this program.
