Overview

  • Participants choose either the Cybersecurity or Software Development track and complete any three faculty-led courses within a year to qualify for certification.
  • Weekly hands-on labs replicate professional environments and weekend live sessions supplement pre-recorded lectures to build practical skills.
  • Eligibility extends to working professionals, faculty members and third- or fourth-year engineering students with per-course enrollment available for added flexibility.
  • Assessments combine continuous evaluation and a proctored on-campus exam that accounts for 75% of each course’s final grade.
  • The programmes aim to bridge India’s critical tech skills gap as the cybersecurity market nears USD 10 billion by 2025 and software development drives industry innovation.
