About this course
The Executive Post Graduate Certificate Programme in Data Science & AI from IIITB is a live, 12‑month advanced‑level course delivered in English. It is designed for working professionals who already hold an Advanced Certificate Programme in Data Science and seek deeper expertise.
What you learn draws directly from the module list: Advanced ML & AI, Deep learning, Big data, Deployment & MLOps, and an Industry capstone. Each topic maps to a concrete skill—deep learning covers neural networks and frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch; big data teaches cloud‑based analytics; Deployment & MLOps focuses on moving models into production; the capstone is a real‑world industry project that ties the strands together.
At the end of the 12‑month stretch a learner can earn a certificate, access placement support, and build a portfolio of eight projects. The course expects a weekly time commitment of 12–15 hours, a figure that appears in the provider‑faq source only.
Honest limits: the provider does not publish a price, so cost figures cannot be stated. Learners who need a gentler entry point may prefer the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate (self‑paced, 6 months, beginner level) or the Deep Learning Specialization (self‑paced, 3 months, intermediate level), both of which appear in the alternatives set.
This programme is best suited for professionals who already have a foundation in data science and want to move into AI‑driven roles. Those seeking a beginner‑friendly, lower‑commitment option should look elsewhere in the supplied data.
