The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, announced on Monday the launch of its flagship Professional Certificate Programmes in Cybersecurity and Software Development.
These programmes are designed as 12-month, fully online courses with proctored on-campus exams. They target working professionals, college faculty, and students in their third or fourth year studying engineering or computer science-related fields, according to news agency ANI.
IIT aims to develop expertise and practical job skills in high-impact areas through these certificate programmes in Cybersecurity and Software Development.
"We are bridging the critical skill gap in our country with rigorous, accessible, and highly hands-on learning," stated Kameswari Chebrolu, Lead Faculty for the programmes, reported news agency ANI.
The participants of this programme will be able to complete three structured courses delivered by IIT Bombay faculty. Additionally, the industry-aligned curriculum emphasises weekly hands-on labs designed to closely replicate professional work environments and tools used in leading organisations.
IIT, Bombay, claims that India's cybersecurity market is expected to surpass USD 10 billion by 2025 and software development is powering innovation across sectors. These programmes prepare learners for high-demand roles, including: Full-Stack Developer, Security Analyst, Security Architect, DevSecOps Engineer, and more.
The applications for both programmes are now open and the course is expected to start by September 1, 2025.
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, set up in 1958 as the second IIT, is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of science and engineering education and research. The Institute was granted the status of 'Institution of Eminence' by the Ministry of Education (the then Ministry of Human Resources Development) on July 9, 2018, as per news agency ANI.
The Institute has 17 academic departments, 35 other academic entities (Centres/ Programmes/ Academic facilities/ Hubs/ Externally funded centres and Labs) and three schools. Over the last six decades, more than 75,000 engineers and scientists have graduated from the Institute.
IIT-Bombay students develop carbon dioxide-guzzling cycle
Earlier in July, against the backdrop of Mumbai grappling with poor air quality, four students studying at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay had created a ‘carbon-negative cycle’ that captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lets out filtered air. Innovated by engineering students Aryan Gupta, Aryan Shah, Mohit Jajoriya, and Vaibhav Garg, the bicycle is shortlisted to be presented at the International Digital Incubator round at the Hult Awards on July 9, 2025.
