# SRCC ties with EY to launch AI course, IIT Bombay offers e-PG diploma 2026-08-18T13:33:29+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet (2 source reports) Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has partnered with EY India to launch AI VIBE, a 12-month course for students from semester 3 onwards. The programme, sponsored by EY, covers machine learning, generative AI, blockchain, and responsible AI. Admission is selective, involving assessments, interviews, and a statement of purpose. Participants will be evaluated through project-based assessments. SRCC principal Prof. Simrit Kaur called the initiative a progressive step in its centenary year. IIT Bombay has launched an e-Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, designed and delivered by its faculty with Great Learning as the EdTech partner. The one-year programme, extendable to three years, covers computer science foundations and AI topics including generative AI, large language models, and reinforcement learning. It combines online learning with in-person campus immersion. The diploma is open to fresh graduates, software developers, data scientists, and IT professionals. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Hindustan Times reports are neutral, straight announcements of new AI courses from SRCC-EY and IIT Bombay.
