The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has launched a four-month postgraduate certificate programme in Building AI-Powered Business Applications, aimed at working professionals looking to develop practical artificial intelligence solutions without requiring prior coding expertise.

The programme has been introduced by iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee, to help business professionals understand and build AI-powered applications using no-code approaches, AI agents and intelligent workflow automation.

IIT Roorkee AI Certificate Programme: What Does It Offer?

The certificate programme is designed for professionals who want to move beyond simply using AI tools and learn how artificial intelligence can be applied to real-world business operations.

Participants will gain hands-on exposure to more than 15 AI and automation tools, including:

• ChatGPT

• Make

• Airtable

The programme will also cover Generative AI, Agentic AI, responsible AI, AI governance, security and deployment readiness.

AI Applications for Business Workflows

According to IIT Roorkee, the programme focuses on applying AI to practical business functions rather than limiting learning to theoretical concepts.

Participants will explore how AI can support areas such as:

• Research and reporting

• Business operations

• Team collaboration

• Decision-making

• Workflow automation

• Intelligent business processes

The programme is particularly aimed at professionals who want to understand how AI can be integrated into everyday organisational activities.

Why IIT Roorkee Introduced the Programme

The launch comes amid increasing adoption of artificial intelligence across businesses.

According to the McKinsey Global Survey: The State of AI in 2025, 88% of organisations reported using AI in at least one business function. However, implementing and scaling AI solutions remains a challenge for many organisations.

The programme seeks to address this gap by helping working professionals develop practical skills for implementing AI-powered applications and automated workflows.

IIT Roorkee AI Programme Fee

The total programme fee is Rs 1,09,000, excluding GST.

Participants who successfully complete the certificate programme will receive an e-Certificate from iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT Roorkee.

Who Can Apply?

Candidates with a graduation or diploma qualification and at least three years of work experience are eligible to apply.

Prior coding experience is not mandatory, making the programme suitable for professionals from non-technical backgrounds who want to develop practical AI skills.

Classes to Be Conducted Online

The programme will be delivered through live online weekend sessions.

Participants will attend three-hour classes on Saturdays and Sundays, allowing working professionals to pursue the programme alongside their regular employment.

AI Skills for the Future of Work

As businesses increasingly integrate artificial intelligence into operations, professionals are expected to develop skills that go beyond basic AI tool usage.

The IIT Roorkee programme focuses on no-code AI development, automation, AI agents and responsible implementation, providing working professionals with an opportunity to explore practical applications of emerging AI technologies.

With its focus on hands-on tools and business use cases, the certificate programme aims to help professionals understand how AI can be incorporated into workflows without requiring extensive programming knowledge.
