New Delhi [India], November 26: The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) has opened admissions for the seventh batch of Certification in Quantum Computing & Machine Learning. The programme features a cutting-edge curriculum and equips professionals to navigate the rapid transformation at the intersection of quantum technologies and machine learning across business and technology contexts.
The Certification in Quantum Computing & Machine Learning blends rigorous theoretical foundations with hands-on practice. Learners engage with quantum algorithms, core machine-learning techniques, and the convergence of these domains, preparing them to operate confidently in the emerging quantum era. This six-month, fully online programme comprises seven carefully structured modules, including Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Algorithms, Classical Machine Learning, Quantum Fourier Transform and Quantum Machine Learning, and Product Analytics, among others.
A McKinsey report projects that the three pillars of quantum technology—quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing- could together generate up to USD 97 billion in global revenue by 2035. In India, recognising the strategic importance of quantum advancement, the Government of India has allocated Rs. 6,003 crore for the National Quantum Mission, positioning the country among the world’s leading nations in quantum R&D. Demand is rising across pharmaceuticals and healthcare, financial services, climate and sustainability and other sectors, creating strong, long-term career opportunities for quantum-skilled professionals.
Speaking on the announcement of the seventh batch, Prof. Abhishek Dixit, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi said, “We designed this programme to convert curiosity into capability. Live, device-first delivery ensures busy professionals gain depth without compromise. With expert mentorship, casework, labs and a campus immersion, learners will gain skills to map business problems to quantum-ML toolkits and deploy prototypes responsibly, positioning themselves to lead India’s quantum opportunity under the National Quantum Mission and global market demand.”
By the end of the programme, learners develop a comprehensive understanding of quantum optimisation techniques and gain practical capability to implement quantum algorithms such as VQE and QAOA. Delivery takes place via IIT Delhi’s Interactive Learning (IL) platform in Direct-to-Device (D2D) mode, featuring live sessions with renowned faculty and industry experts, along with a one-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi to deepen applied learning.
Graduates of the Certification in Quantum Computing & Machine Learning can pursue roles at the forefront of technological innovation, including Quantum Software Developer, Quantum Machine Learning Engineer, Quantum Data Scientist, and Quantum Consultant, among others.
Eligibility: Applicants holding B.Tech /BE, BCA/MCA, B.Sc. (all streams), or BA/MA in Mathematics are eligible to apply.
