When data is called “the new currency,” the institutions that teach us to interpret it become crucial. In this light, IIT Delhi’s Certificate Programme in Data Science and Machine Learning emerges as a timely offering meant for those who want to shape data into insight, not just consume it. 

Every day, humans generate phenomenal volumes of data estimated to be in the order of 328.77 million terabytes daily. Organizations across sectors now lean heavily on data science and machine learning to convert this deluge into strategy. To bridge the talent gap, IIT Delhi (in partnership with Emeritus) has launched a comprehensive six month online programme. 

The curriculum is broad yet focused: Python, statistics, deep learning, and visualization form the core, backed by real-world case studies and datasets. Students get to experience peer learning and roundtable interaction, rather than passive lectures mimicking the collaborative environments they might later work in. And at the end, a certificate from IIT Delhi tops it off, boosting hiring prospects. 

The programme is tailored for early or mid-career professionals seeking to pivot or level up. Eligibility includes graduates (or diploma holders) with at least 50 percent in class 12 maths or statistics. It kicks off on January 18, 2026, with a technical orientation slated for December 30, 2025, at a fee of Rs 1,50,000. 

Why might it matter to you? Because the demand for data scientists is only accelerating. US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 35 percent growth in data scientist roles between 2022 and 2032. In India, Big Data’s market share is expected to reach 32 percentage of the global space by 2026 meaning a surge in demand for qualified professionals. 

In short, IIT Delhi’s offering isn’t just academic it’s designed to be practical, applicable, and timely. For those ready to embrace a future in AI, analytics, or machine learning, this programme may be the stepping stone.
