IIT Bombay Launches E-Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science and AI
IIT Bombay is offering a new online postgraduate diploma about computer science and artificial intelligence.
Great Learning is helping deliver the programme.
Students will learn both basic computer science and newer AI topics.
These topics include generative AI, language models, computer vision and deep learning.
They will also study subjects such as algorithms, cybersecurity and big data systems.
Students must take six courses, with at least two from each subject group.
The course can usually be finished in one year, but students may take up to three years.
Classes happen online, and students also attend an in-person session at the IIT Bombay campus.
Graduates who successfully complete the programme receive IIT Bombay e-alumni status.

Quotes
Prof. Vinay J. Ribeiro
ePGD(CS & AI) Faculty Coordinator in IIT Bombay’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering
“AI is becoming integral to software development and computing systems. Professionals need more than familiarity with AI tools; they need strong foundations in computer science and an understanding of how its principles support the design and deployment of reliable, scalable AI systems. The ePGD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence brings these areas together, helping learners develop the technical depth needed to pursue high-demand roles in AI”
