New Delhi [India], June 13 (ANI): The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), through its prestigious Continuing Education Programme (CEP), has commenced admissions for the fifth cohort of its Advanced Certification in Data Science and Decision Science, a release said.
This eight-month intensive programme is designed to equip professionals to develop comprehensive expertise across both data science and decision science, enabling them to address today’s most pressing analytical and strategic challenges in business, said the institute in a press release.
As businesses increasingly turn to data-driven insights to inform key decisions, the ability to not only extract value from complex datasets but also apply those insights meaningfully is now a critical differentiator.
This programme is uniquely designed to bridge that divide–equipping learners with cutting-edge skills in artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, big data analytics and decision-making sciences. It combines robust academic theory with hands-on application through capstone projects, interactive sessions and a dedicated campus immersion experience at IIT Delhi.
According to industry forecasts, the global big data market is forecasted to exceed USD 103 billion by 2027, while the data science platform sector is growing at an estimated CAGR of 26.9% from 2020 to 2027. India alone is projected to generate over 11 million job opportunities in data science by 2026, with hiring activity in the sector having surged by 46% since 2019.
These trends highlight the significant demand for professionals who are not only technically proficient but also capable of translating data into actionable decisions .
As per the release, speaking about the programme, Prof Arpan Kar, Professor, Department of Management Studies, IIT Delhi, said, “The true value of data lies in its ability to shape informed decisions. IIT Delhi’s Advanced Certification in Data Science and Decision Science is ideal for professionals aiming to pivot into the high-growth fields of analytics, AI and cognitive decision-making. With strong practical focus and tools like Python, SPSS, Orange and LINGO, it equips learners to apply advanced frameworks that drive meaningful organisational outcomes.”
The programme’s extensive curriculum covers key modules such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cognitive Deep Learning and GenAI, Cognitive Science and Big Data and decision-making frameworks using AHP, DEMATEL and LINDO-based optimisation. Delivered in a Direct-to-Device (D2D) format, learners will experience live faculty interactions, collaborative case discussions and guided hands-on assignments. A one-day campus immersion adds further depth to the learning experience through peer exchange and academic networking.
Candidates are assessed through structured evaluations comprising projects, examinations and real-time application tasks. The programme is open to graduates and postgraduates in STEM, Management or allied disciplines with a strong aptitude for mathematics. Successful participants will be awarded a digital certificate from IIT Delhi, marking their formal qualification in Data Science and Decision Science. (ANI)
