In a move to modernize and democratize technical education, IIT Guwahati has launched a new Bachelor of Science (Honours) program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. This program, offered online, allows learners from across the country and even internationally to access IIT-quality education from home.
One of the standout features of this program is its flexible structure. Students can complete the degree in a span of 4 to 8 years, based on their individual pace and availability. Moreover, the program includes multiple exit points:
- After Year 1: Students receive an Advanced Certificate
- After Year 2: They can exit with a Diploma
- After Year 3: A BSc degree is awarded
- After Year 4: The full BSc (Honours) degree is granted
This modular format is especially helpful for working professionals, students in remote areas, and those who may face personal or financial challenges in committing to a full-time program.
The curriculum includes hands-on learning, real-world projects, and exposure to industry-standard tools and technologies. IIT Guwahati is also working on establishing industry tie-ups for internships and live projects, helping students bridge the gap between academic knowledge and workplace expectations.
This initiative marks a significant step in reshaping higher education in India, making it more accessible, future-ready, and aligned with global industry demands.
