Certificate Programme in Data Science & Machine Learning

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) presents a comprehensive six-month online Certificate Programme in Data Science & Machine Learning (DSML). This industry-oriented programme equips participants with the expertise to transform data into actionable insights and build powerful predictive models. Master sought-after skills such as data manipulation, analysis, machine learning algorithms, Python programming, Generative AI, statistics, deep learning, and data visualisation. Whether you're a working professional looking to upskill, a graduate aiming to stand out, or an individual passionate about data analysis and AI applications, this programme is tailored for you.

According to Analytics Insight, India is projected to capture 32% of the global big data market and generate USD 20 billion by 2026.

This online Certificate Programme in Data Science and Machine Learning is best suited for:

• Early and mid-level professionals interested in gaining a relevant and cutting-edge perspective on data science and ML for better career prospects

• Professionals who oversee software development and machine learning projects with a keen interest in developing a data-driven decision-making approach and those looking to apply data science and ML to enhance their business growth

A capstone project in Data Science and Machine Learning serves as the culmination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired throughout the program. It typically involves solving a problem using data-driven techniques and advanced algorithms. Students engage in various stages of the project lifecycle, including exploratory data analysis, model selection and training, and evaluation.

The project offers an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in programming languages like Python, statistical analysis, machine learning algorithms, and data visualization techniques. This activity is carried out in groups and students pick one of the three four contexts given to them.
