The Story in Brief
IIT Dharwad has announced a one-year artificial intelligence course for minority community graduates. The Indian Institute of Technology will provide free training, hostel accommodation, and a stipend to selected candidates. Graduates from notified minority communities, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsis and Jains, aged between 18 and 45 years are eligible to apply, NDTV reports. The programme aims to equip participants with AI skills without any financial burden.
The Indian Opinion
The customary cheer about IITs opening their doors often ignores who actually walks in. This scheme specifically targets minority graduates aged 18-45, a group frequently left out of premium tech training. Critics may call it reservation by another name, but the real test is uptake and placement. Will the stipend attract enough applicants to fill the seats, and will the course lead to jobs? Those numbers, not the press release, will tell if this is genuine inclusion or just another announcement.
