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. The stories present the programmes as beneficial industry-academia collaborations, with no critical scrutiny or alternative viewpoints. The coverage mirrors the press releases closely, quoting institutional leaders positively. A careful reader should note that neither article examines costs, placement outcomes, or how these courses differ from existing options. The wider implication is the accelerating push by top Indian institutions to embed AI skills into formal education, driven by industry demand. Watch for enrolment numbers and employer uptake as indicators of real impact.
