"I have been part of the AI-Enabled Cybersecurity program by Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee for the past 6 months, and my experience with the course has been very good and enriching. The program covers a wide range of topics, starting from the fundamentals of Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence to advanced concepts such as AI Agents, Agentic AI, and AI-enabled cybersecurity systems with real-world examples. One of the key strengths of this program is its balanced learning approach. Along with the lectures delivered by IIT professors, we regularly receive assignments that help reinforce and brush up our concepts. The hands-on lab activities conducted by industry experts have also been highly valuable, as they provide practical exposure along with lab assignments and practice sessions. So far, we have completed a few small cybersecurity-related projects where we followed sprint-based methodologies and collaborative development practices using GitHub. This practical project experience has helped us improve both our technical and teamwork skills. In the upcoming weeks, we are expected to work on additional projects along with a final capstone project, which I believe will further strengthen our learning. Another positive aspect of the program is the inclusion of EC-Council certifications, which we are encouraged to pursue in parallel with the coursework. Overall, the program offers a strong combination of academic knowledge, practical implementation, and industry-oriented learning, making it highly beneficial for anyone looking to build expertise in AI-enabled cybersecurity."

"I recently joined the Gen AI AI Powered by Cybersecurity course conducted by IIT Roorkee in collaboration with Futurense, and it has been a great learning experience so far. The AI and Generative AI sessions delivered by Gaurav Sir were clear, practical, and easy to follow, even for learners coming from non-AI backgrounds. The lectures helped me build a strong understanding of AI and Generative AI concepts, along with their practical applications and industry relevance. I especially appreciated the structured explanations and real-world examples, which made complex topics much easier to grasp. Currently, the cybersecurity sessions are being conducted by Shubham Chaudhary Sir, and I look forward to continuing this learning journey. Overall, it has been an insightful and well-delivered course that has strengthened my understanding of AI and Generative AI, and I believe it will further support my growth in the cybersecurity field as well."
