IIT Roorkee and Futurense Launch India’s First Advanced Certification in AI Engineering and AIOps

Equipping professionals with full-stack AI capabilities for cloud-native, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions

In a significant stride towards making India a global hub for AI deployment and innovation, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, in collaboration with Futurense Technologies, has launched the country’s first Advanced Certification in AI Engineering and AIOps. Scheduled to commence in August 2025, this nine-month hybrid programme is tailored for working professionals and graduates aiming to master cutting-edge AI deployment in real-world, enterprise-scale environments.

The programme is set to be a game-changer for those looking to upskill in a rapidly evolving tech landscape where AI development must meet operational scalability. With the integration of advanced tools like LangChain, Hugging Face, AutoGen, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Docker, Kubernetes, and MLflow, this course is designed to foster a new generation of professionals capable of driving GenAI and AIOps transformation within organisations.

The Need for Scalable AI Expertise

The AI ecosystem in India is experiencing a pivotal moment. While Generative AI (GenAI) pilots are booming across sectors, a major bottleneck remains—the conversion of these pilots into stable, scalable production systems. Many companies struggle to transition their AI proofs of concept into enterprise-ready applications due to a lack of engineering expertise and operational knowledge.

Addressing this crucial gap, IIT Roorkee’s Advanced Certification in AI Engineering and AIOps focuses on practical AI engineering, not just theoretical or model-based learning. It’s built to teach participants how to design, deploy, monitor, and scale AI systems—especially in cloud-native and multi-agent environments.

Programme Highlights

This forward-looking course covers the entire AI stack—spanning model development, DevOps integration, ethical compliance, and enterprise observability.

🔹 Key Focus Areas:

• Design and deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) on AWS, Azure, and GCP
• AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) strategies
• MLOps orchestration and automation pipelines
• Agent-based systems and multi-agent workflows
• Integration with vector databases
• Ethical frameworks and compliance standards in AI
   

By combining technical depth with real-world problem-solving, the course promises to build end-to-end AI practitioners—not just coders, but engineers capable of scaling AI innovations within enterprise frameworks.

Learning Format: Flexible and Industry-Ready

To suit the needs of professionals, the certification is delivered in a hybrid format:

• Weekend Live Online Classes: Led by IIT Roorkee faculty and industry experts, these sessions ensure that participants stay engaged while balancing work.
   
• Hands-On Projects: Capstone projects involving real-world GenAI and AIOps use cases help apply the learning in practical contexts.
   
• Optional Campus Immersion: A three-day in-person experience at IIT Roorkee, giving students an opportunity to interact directly with faculty, network with peers, and access lab infrastructure.
   

At the end of the programme, successful participants will receive a prestigious certification from IIT Roorkee—a credential that carries immense value in the tech ecosystem.
