Yes, basic programming knowledge with Python is preferred.

The program is delivered through 100% live online sessions with an optional campus immersion at the IITM Pravartak campus at the end.

It combines Applied AI, ML, GenAI, Agentic AI, and Context Engineering into one curriculum focused on building context-aware, production-ready systems. Offered by IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation, it is among India’s first IIT-backed programs focused on Context Engineering.

The 2-day campus immersion is optional and takes place at the end of the program.

Dr. Indu Joshi, an Assistant Professor at IIT Mandi with a PhD from IIT Delhi, is the director. Her extensive research in Bayesian Deep Learning and Generative Models, along with international postdoctoral experience, provides significant academic depth to the program.

IITM Pravartak drives innovation in AI and data science through advanced research labs, industry collaborations, and Centres of Excellence that build industry-aligned programs. This strong focus on applied research and real-world problem solving helps learners develop skills that are directly relevant to emerging technology roles.

Industry experts from leading technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon participate in live sessions, sharing practical insights from real AI deployments. The Futurense Leadership Council (FLC) further enriches the program through masterclasses, mentorship, and real-world case walkthroughs, helping learners understand how advanced AI systems are designed and implemented in enterprise environments.

It covers Applied AI, ML, Deep Learning, GenAI, Agentic AI, and Context Engineering, integrating traditional techniques with modern agent-based and generative models.

The program provides hands-on experience with 30+ tools, platforms, and open-source AI frameworks such as LangChain, Hugging Face, Docker, and MLflow to help learners build and deploy production-ready AI systems.

Agentic AI enables autonomous systems to make context-driven decisions and collaborate dynamically across various applications. This allows AI systems to move beyond simple responses to performing complex, multi-step tasks with minimal human intervention.

It equips learners with advanced AI, ML, and GenAI skills along with domain-specific applications, making it ideal for engineers transitioning into AI-driven roles. The program also offers the added advantage of an industry-aligned curriculum backed by IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation, providing strong academic credibility and recognition.

The curriculum progresses from core Machine Learning and Deep Learning to Generative AI foundations, Context Engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic AI, and multi-agent system development. It also includes MLOps and deployment practices to help learners build and manage production-ready AI systems.

The program incorporates domain-focused applications across sectors such as BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, and Manufacturing, enabling learners to apply AI techniques to real industry use cases. This helps participants contextualize AI solutions within their specific engineering or business domains.

Learners complete 10+ hands-on tasks, assignments, case studies, and a Capstone Project applied to real-world business problems.

It prepares learners for next-gen automation by teaching them to design scalable and collaborative AI systems.

Graduates can pursue roles such as LLM Engineer, Prompt & Evaluation Engineer, Context/Inference Engineer, and AI Governance Analyst.

Participants learn to design and deploy context-aware AI systems, build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, work with large language models, and develop autonomous agent workflows that can solve real enterprise problems.

The capstone project enables participants to build a production-ready AI solution using tools such as LLMs, RAG pipelines, and deployment frameworks. This helps learners showcase real engineering capability and create a recruiter-ready portfolio.

Participants develop skills in designing context-driven AI systems, implementing distributed ML workflows, building multi-agent architectures, and deploying AI systems with monitoring, safety, and governance mechanisms.
