Overview
- IIT Bombay announced on Tuesday that its Educational Outreach will offer an e‑Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
- The programme has been designed and will be delivered by IIT Bombay faculty with Great Learning serving as the EdTech partner.
- The diploma combines synchronous and asynchronous online coursework with a short in‑person campus immersion and requires 36 credits across three areas: advanced programming, computing systems, and AI/Machine Learning.
- IIT Bombay says the course is meant to teach foundational computer science and AI so learners can understand the principles behind tools rather than only using them, a goal stated by Prof Vinay J Ribeiro.
- Separately, forest department officials are monitoring an injured leopard on the IIT Bombay campus with camera traps after sightings and CCTV footage over the past two to three months.
