The International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT Hyderabad), through its Division of Flexible Learning (DFL), has announced the launch of a new 12-week online certificate program titled “Engineering Agentic AI Systems: Agentic AI from Concepts to Practice.”
The program will be delivered by Prof. Karthik Vaidhyanathan, Assistant Professor at IIIT Hyderabad and a leading researcher in AI and Software Engineering. Designed to be hands-on and practice-oriented, the course enables learners to design, build, test, and deploy agentic AI systems grounded in real-world use cases.
Highlighting the focus of the program, Prof. Karthik Vaidhyanathan, Course Instructor, noted: “Agentic AI calls for a system-centric way of thinking, where engineering matters as much as—if not more than—the models themselves. This course brings together our academic research and practical experience to help learners build agentic AI systems that are reliable, scalable, sustainable, and ready for real-world deployment.”
Program Highlights
- Duration: 12 weeks, fully online
- Curriculum: Four modules covering foundations, design, implementation, and operations of agentic AI systems
- Prerequisites: Basic programming knowledge is helpful
