IIT Delhi Announces Six-Month Executive Certificate Programme in Agentic AI Systems

New Delhi, October 29, 2026: IIT Delhi’s Continuing Education Programme has introduced a six-month Executive Certificate in Agentic AI Systems: Foundation to Deployment, aimed at professionals looking to design, build and deploy autonomous AI systems for enterprise use.

Focus on Agentic AI

Unlike conventional generative AI systems that mainly create content, agentic AI can reason, plan, retrieve information, use external tools and carry out sequences of actions toward a defined goal.

Eight Core Modules

The curriculum covers eight major areas, including:

  • Foundations of Agentic AI
  • Prompt engineering
  • Autonomous agent design
  • Enterprise knowledge systems
  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • AI Trust, Risk and Security Management
  • Application deployment
  • Enterprise-scale operations

LLMs, RAG and MCP Included

Participants will work with technologies such as large language models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Model Context Protocol.

The programme also introduces tools and frameworks including LangGraph, CrewAI and AutoGen.

Security and Governance Get Special Focus

A dedicated AI TRiSM module will cover model governance, explainability, security and regulatory compliance.

The aim is to help professionals understand how autonomous AI systems can be deployed responsibly in enterprises.

Practical Projects Included

Learners will build AI assistants, knowledge-retrieval applications and multi-agent workflows.

The programme concludes with a capstone project requiring participants to create an end-to-end agentic AI application.

Who Can Apply?

The course is aimed at:

  • AI and data professionals
  • Software developers
  • IT practitioners
  • Technology leaders
  • Science, engineering and commerce graduates

At least one year of professional experience is recommended.

Selection Includes Faculty Interview

Applicants will be shortlisted through application review followed by a faculty interview.

Assessment will include examinations, quizzes, assignments and the capstone project.

IIT Delhi to Issue E-Certificate

Participants who meet attendance and assessment requirements will receive an e-certificate from CEP, IIT Delhi.

The learning format combines live faculty-led sessions with asynchronous resources, while an optional campus immersion is also available.

Programme Targets Enterprise AI Skills

The course comes as businesses increasingly experiment with AI agents for customer service, information retrieval and business-process automation.

IIT Delhi is positioning the programme around the growing demand for professionals who can move beyond AI experimentation toward secure, production-ready autonomous systems.
