IIT Roorkee Partners with Scaler for Advanced AI Engineering Course
IIT Roorkee’s Continuing Education Centre (CEC) has teamed up with Scaler, a leading tech education platform, to develop an Advanced AI Engineering Program. The course enables tech and non-tech professionals to gain real experience in AI and machine learning through an industry-relevant curriculum and hands-on projects.
This online course lasts for a duration of two-months, covering machine learning, deep learning, generative AI and large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's ChatGPT with hands-on experience across text, image, audio and video applications. The course also includes training with tools like Copilot and Cursor, as well as AI use cases in specific domains like healthcare.
The course will be delivered via live online sessions and the practical sessions will include projects and self-learning, as well as a two-day campus immersion at IIT-Roorkee where participants will use the world's best labs and access unique networking opportunities with peers and industry experts.
The program will culminate in graduates earning a joint certificate from IIT Roorkee and Scaler, enabling the graduate to transition into new career roles as AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Dev Ops Engineer, or Software Developer.
Scaler Co-Founder Abhimanyu Saxena and IIT Roorkee's Prof. Kaushik Ghosh pointed out that this partnership launched the first of many programs focused on emerging technologies, and the two institutions are committed to establishing new features and standards in tertiary tech education.
“Our partnership with Scaler represents a strategic step towards shaping the future of technical education by combining academic depth with industry-driven innovation,” said Professor Kaushik Ghosh, Coordinator, CEC, IIT Roorkee. “Through this collaboration, we aim to launch a series of programs that address emerging fields and equip learners with future-ready skills. The successful launch of the Advanced AI Engineering Program is just the beginning - and a strong example of the kind of impact we aspire to create together.”
