About Programme

The CEP, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), presents a comprehensive six-month online Certificate Programme in Data Science, AI, and Machine Learning. This industry-oriented programme equips you with the expertise to transform data into actionable insights and build powerful predictive models. Master sought-after skills in data manipulation, analysis, and machine learning algorithms, including Python programming, statistics, deep learning, and data visualisation. Whether you are a working professional seeking to upskill, a graduate aiming to stand out, or an individual passionate about data analysis, this programme is designed for you.As machine learning adoption continues to grow rapidly across industries, DSML is evolving from focusing on predictive models towards a more democratised, dynamic, and data-centric discipline.In the Union Budget for FY 2024–25, the allocation for the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) was increased by 52% to ₹21,936 crore (approximately USD 2.7 billion), compared with the revised estimate of ₹14,421.25 crore in the previous fiscal year (FY 2023–24).

The Indian analytics industry is projected to scale to USD 98 billion by 2025 and nearly USD 119 billion by 2026. Currently, the demand for data scientists is at an all-time high in India. Analysts have predicted around 11 million job openings in data science by 2026 in India alone.

According to Analytics Insights, India will capture 32% of the global big data market worldwide and generate USD 20 billion by 2026.

The Data Science and Machine Learning market size is expected to grow at an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024–2030) of 17.15%, resulting in a market volume of USD 528.10 billion by 2030 (Statista).
