Delhi Technological University, TimesPro announce the inaugural Advanced Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence

New Delhi: As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes how organisations build products, manage risk, serve customers and run operations, the need for professionals who can design, deploy and govern intelligent systems has accelerated. Delhi Technological University (DTU, New Delhi), in collaboration with TimesPro, has announced the inaugural batch of the Advanced Certificate Programme in Artificial Intelligence, aimed at learners seeking strong conceptual grounding alongside practical, job-relevant capability.

Anchored by DTU’s Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning (CTEL), the six-month programme extends DTU’s academic strengths into a technology-enabled format that supports rigorous learning at scale. CTEL’s mandate centres on delivering accessible, learner-centric digital programmes that remain contemporary, industry-aligned and outcomes-driven.

The Advanced Certificate Programme in Artificial Intelligence builds a structured pathway across Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Generative AI, with an emphasis on responsible development and real-world performance. Learners engage with applied problem-solving across domains such as healthcare, finance, marketing, engineering and analytics, translating theory into solutions that can be evaluated, improved and deployed in practice.

Participants gain hands-on exposure to machine learning tools, algorithms and industrial use cases, while building and deploying ML models and implementing core neural-network architectures, including CNNs, RNNs and LSTMs, from the ground up. The curriculum also introduces advanced methods such as Generative AI, GANs, VAEs and GNNs and supports end-to-end AI system design using Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch and other widely used libraries.

The market signals are unequivocal. UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) projects the global AI market will rise from USD 189 billion (2023) to USD 4.8 trillion by 2033, highlighting the scale and speed of AI-led growth. McKinsey’s latest global survey also reports 88% of organisations now use AI in at least one business function, up from 78% a year earlier, evidence that adoption is normalising across sectors. In India, NASSCOM projects the AI talent pool will grow from roughly 6–6.5 lakh professionals to over 12.5 lakh by 2027, at a 15% CAGR, reinforcing the need for structured, industry-ready upskilling.

Speaking at the inaugural announcement, Prof. S. Indu, Dean- Digital Education, Delhi Technological University, said, “Artificial intelligence now sits at the centre of engineering, business and public services. Through CTEL, DTU is bringing our academic rigour to a format that working professionals can pursue without stepping away from their careers. This programme blends strong fundamentals with applied projects, ethics and responsible deployment, so learners can design, train and scale AI systems that create measurable impact.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro said, “Enterprises want practitioners who can move from algorithms to production-grade solutions. With DTU, TimesPro is curating an intensive learning journey that combines expert-led sessions, hands-on tutorials and a capstone aligned to real industry problems. Delivered on our interactive Direct-to-Device platform and reinforced through campus immersion, the programme helps learners build robust portfolios in machine learning, deep learning and generative AI.”

 

The programme comprises 110 hours of learning through a blend of online instruction and self-paced study, supported by hands-on tutorials for key AI and ML topics delivered by industry experts. Learners complete advanced assignments and an applied capstone, such as building a recommender system using CNN, LSTM, GNN or hybrid AI pipelines. The programme is well-suited to engineering, technology, computer science, IT and mathematics graduates, as well as working professionals in software, analytics, engineering and allied domains and professionals aiming to transition into advanced AI/ML and data science roles.

The eight-module curriculum spans AI literacy, Python and data thinking, mathematical foundations, regression methods, hyperplanes, clustering, deep learning and neural networks and advanced AI and emerging techniques. TimesPro will deliver learning through its interactive Direct-to-Device (D2D) platform and facilitate a three-day campus immersion to strengthen peer learning, academic engagement and applied orientation. On successful completion, learners will receive a certification issued by Delhi Technological University (DTU, New Delhi).
