Post Graduate Certificate Program in Machine Learning & AI by IIT Roorkee

Most programs teach you to use machine learning. We teach you to invent it. You won't just learn to call scikit-learn functions. You'll understand the mathematics, derive the algorithms, implement them from scratch, and then optimize them.

When you encounter a novel problem, you won't search for existing solutions, you'll have the skills to design new algorithms tailored to your specific challenge. This is how true AI innovators are made. This is how breakthroughs happen.
