About Programme

The Applied AI, ML and Decision Science Programme from IIT Delhi is designed for professionals looking to build future-ready expertise in Generative AI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and Decision Intelligence.

Built on a distinctive dual-pillar approach Applied AI and Decision Science - the programme enables participants to not only develop intelligent AI systems, but also transform AI insights into strategic, scalable, and business-ready decisions.

Across the programme, participants will learn to work with AI-ready data ecosystems, LLMs, no-code AI tools, forecasting models, optimization frameworks, simulation techniques, and multi-criteria decision systems. With a strong focus on real-world business applications, capstone projects, and hands-on learning using Python, Tableau, Solver/LINGO, and modern AI tools, the programme equips learners to build AI-powered, data-driven, and decision-centric business solutions for the evolving digital enterprise.
