Want to learn AI and quantum? IIT Delhi opens certification courses for graduates

IIT Delhi has opened two online professional programmes for learners who want to build skills in AI leadership, and quantum. One focusses on quantum in machine learning systems, while the other is built around technology and AI leadership.

In Short

  • IIT Delhi has launched two new online professional programmes
  • One course blends quantum technology with machine learning and AI
  • The leadership programme focusses on business use of AI

IIT Delhi is offering two new online programmes for professionals and graduates who want to move deeper into artificial intelligence, quantum technology and leadership.

One course brings together quantum and AI systems, while the other looks at technology and AI leadership from a business and management angle.

Both courses are offered through IIT Delhi’s CEP-QIP platform and are structured as online programmes. The programme's focus is not just on theory, but on helping learners apply new technology in practical settings.

EXECUTIVE PROGRAMME FOR QUANTUM IN ML & AI SYSTEMS

This six-month programme is designed as an online executive course and begins on May 2, 2026, ending on October 31, 2026.

The programme fee is Rs 1,30,000 plus 18 per cent GST, and IIT Delhi says participants will receive an e-certificate from CEP, IIT Delhi.

The eligibility list is broad. Candidates with B.Tech/BE, B.Sc in all streams, BCA/MCA, and BA/MA Mathematics can apply. The course is aimed at learners who want to understand how quantum ideas connect with machine learning and AI systems.

ADVANCE PROGRAMME IN TECHNOLOGY AND AI LEADERSHIP

The second programme is the Advance Programme in Technology and AI Leadership (Batch 3). It runs for seven months and is delivered online.

The programme starts on July 3, 2026, and the application deadline is June 16, 2026.

Its fee is Rs 1,74,000 plus 18 per cent GST. The programme is run with Emeritus as the service provider, and “Managing AI and ML for Business” is among the modules, showing a strong focus on practical use rather than only theory.

WHY THESE COURSES STAND OUT

These programmes stand out because they bring two fast-growing fields, quantum and AI leadership, into formats that are easier to access for working people and graduates.

The online model, clear timelines and practical course modules make them more flexible than a full-time degree.

The broad eligibility also means the courses are not limited to one narrow stream, which makes them appealing to a wider group of learners.
