Building on the success of legacy AIML programme, IIIT Hyderabad (IIITH), a premier research-led institute in information technology has collaborated with TalentSprint, Part of Accenture and a leading education company, have announced the launch of this Certificate Programme and Prompt Engineering for creating a future-ready AI workforce.
The programme is anchored by the ML Lab at Kohli Center on Intelligent Systems (KCIS), IIIT Hyderabad – a center of excellence driving advanced AI research and innovation across India. The programme combines academic depth with industry-aligned learning, equipping participants with hands-on experience in building and deploying GenAI applications.
Generative AI is transforming the world today. From writing code and developing products to automating customer experiences, GenAI has become central to how industries innovate and scale. According to recent reports, over 78% of global organizations are actively exploring or investing in GenAI capabilities. However, there exists a significant gap between the demand and supply of skilled professionals equipped to work with advanced AI systems, particularly in areas such as LLM tooling, responsible AI design, and real-time engineering.
Prof Sandeep K Shukla, Director, IIITH emphasizes, “Generative AI represents one of the most transformative shifts in computing. Our curriculum goes beyond theory to offer participants deep insights into the GenAI stack; from prompt engineering to LangChain and vector databases. It empowers professionals to design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that drive real-world impact.”
Ideal for experienced professionals, this three-month immersive learning programme is delivered in a blended format, combining live interactive classes by IIITH faculty with mentor-guided labs and a capstone project. Participants will gain hands-on experience building applications using OpenAI and Hugging Face APIs, mastering LangChain and vector databases such as FAISS and Chroma, designing enterprise-level prompt engineering strategies, developing RAG pipelines and deploying intelligent systems in practice, and learning to create ethical and explainable AI systems.
The programme’s structure ensures flexibility for working professionals while maintaining academic rigor. Participants will also gain access to IIITH’s prestigious alumni network, opening doors to a lifelong learning ecosystem and leadership opportunities in AI-driven domains.
