Executive Post Graduate Certificate in Generative AI & Agentic AI

Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Kharagpur

About EPGC in Generative AI & Agentic AI

A production first postgraduate online programme designed and delivered for the first time ever by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The curriculum offers end-to-end academic and applied training in Generative AI and Agentic AI, covering foundational models, system design, and production deployment. Established in 1951, IIT Kharagpur is India’s first IIT and among the world’s most respected engineering institutions. Ranked 5th in Engineering by NIRF 2025, the Institute is recognised for high-impact research, strong global citation performance, and sustained contributions to artificial intelligence and computing. This programme draws directly from IIT Kharagpur’s academic depth and research leadership, preparing engineers to design, customise, and deploy next-generation AI systems, from large language models to agent-based architectures operating in real-world environments.
