Message from the Director - Prof. Suman Chakraborty

Prof. Suman Chakraborty - Director, IIT Kharagpur

In a world where intelligence is no longer merely programmed but increasingly generated, adaptive, and autonomous, Generative AI and Agentic AI mark a decisive inflection point in technology and society alike.

In this transformative context, IIT Kharagpur launches its Executive Post Graduate Certification in Generative AI and Agentic AI. This program is designed not for passive learning, but for strategic leadership at the frontier of intelligent systems.

The course goes beyond tools and trends. It provides a first-principlesdriven understanding of generative models, autonomous agents, multi-agent orchestration, and the ethical dimensions that accompany such power. Participants will learn not just how these technologies work, but why they work, where they fail, and how to architect them responsibly at scale.

What makes this program distinctive is its integration of theory, computation, and real-world deployment, anchored in IIT Kharagpur's legacy of engineering rigor. The curriculum is crafted by leading researchers shaping the global AI discourse, ensuring immediate relevance to high-stakes professional environments.

For working professionals and future leaders, this certification enables the transition from being users of AI to architects of intelligent ecosystems, capable of designing, governing, and scaling AI-driven innovation.

In our Platinum Jubilee year, IIT Kharagpur is proud to shape professionals who will not merely adapt to the future, but actively design it.
