IIT Ropar-CICE-INSOFE announces the launch of new-age multidimensional certificate programs in Data Science

IIT Ropar, CICE and INSOFE come together to launch a new program in data science, PGP (Honours) & Advanced Certification

Chandigarh – Mar 9, 2020 – PGP (Honours) is a multidimensional program that will deliver data science, application architecture, and engineering skills. INSOFE will be offering this intensive 10 months PGP (Honours) in Data Science Program that enables prospects to implement a chosen research publication under the guidance of world-class faculty and present it as a full-fledged thesis to a panel in collaboration with the Indo-Taiwan Joint Research Centre on AI and ML at IIT Ropar and the Canada-India Centre for Excellence (CICE), Canada at Carleton University.

Advanced Certificate Program in Data Science is a uniquely designed Techno-Managerial Program to lead Data Science teams for Management roles. This three-month program creates efficient middle management teams and helps organizations adopt the latest technologies of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science.

Both the programs offer guidance from world-class instructors from INSOFE India, IIT – Ropar, Carleton University and industry – Canada. The students can leverage strong programming skills in AI and relevant management skills for demanding new-age careers. Hands-on skill development through intensive Bootcamps will be provided. There will also be closely monitored guidance from the thesis scholars. Skill enhancement through deep-dive classes and a full-scale thesis submission will pave the way for the triple certification.

The triple certified program will pave way for careers in that demand command over programming, AI and management skills put together. The type of jobs that are the most demanding for a student having done the Advanced Certificate Program are:

  • AI Engineer
  • Machine Learning expert

The average salary of an AI Engineer is around ₹10-15 Lakhs in India. While the Machine Learning expert earns $144 thousand per year, in the US and $85,000 – $185,000 in Canada, says Glassdoor reports. Last year, at INSOFE, 50 students were placed in the top AI companies with a median salary of ₹12.4 Lakh.
