The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has launched a four-month postgraduate certificate programme in Building AI-Powered Business Applications, which has been designed by the institute’s iHUB DivyaSampark to equip working professionals who seek to go beyond using artificial intelligence tools and discover building practical AI-powered solutions for business without the need for coding.
The iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee, has introduced this programme to guide business professionals on making AI-powered applications without requiring the essential knowledge of coding by offering them AI-powered applications using no-code approaches, AI agents, and intelligent workflow automation.
As per the McKinsey Global Survey: The State of AI in 2025, as much as 88% of organisations have incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for their everyday work tasks. Though the dependence on AI continues to be dominant, implementing and scaling AI remains a challenge. The IDC’s Skills, AI and the Enterprise report highlighted that critical AI skills shortages are related to implementation and scaling. Observing the above parity, IIT Roorkee added this programme to its curriculum to assist working professionals to cope with the increasing integration of AI into everyday operations.
Under the iHUB DivyaSampark certificate programme, participants will try their hands on more than 15 AI and automation tools, comprising ChatGPT, Perplexity, NotebookLM, Dify, Flowise, n8n, Make and Airtable. Participants will also learn about Generative AI and Agentic AI, responsible AI, governance, security and deployment readiness. The programme will demonstrate how AI can be applied across fields such as research, reporting, operations, collaboration and decision-making workflows.
The total fee for this programme is Rs 1,09,000, exclusive of GST. Participants who complete the programme will receive an e-Certificate from iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee.
All the candidates who have a graduation or diploma degree along with a minimum of three years of work experience can apply for this certificate programme. iHUB DivyaSampark will deliver lectures through live online weekend sessions, with three-hour classes on Saturdays and Sundays. Candidates do not mandatorily require prior coding experience to be eligible for this programme.
