IIT Mandi and Nagent AI have introduced a new hybrid certificate program on building AI agents. This hands-on course is designed to upskill professionals and bridge India's AI talent gap.

In a significant development for aspiring professionals and students in the tech sector, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi has launched a new hybrid certification program. The program, developed in partnership with Nagent AI, is focused on training professionals to build and deploy functional AI agents. This initiative is a strategic move to help bridge the AI talent gap in the country by providing practical, industry-relevant skills.

What the Course Offers

This unique program is a "no-fluff, hands-on workshop" that aims to drastically reduce the time it takes to become proficient in agentic AI. The course compresses the typical 6-12 month upskilling process into a matter of weeks. It is designed specifically for working professionals, offering a flexible format that combines online learning with an in-person campus immersion at IIT Mandi's Technology Innovation Hub (TIH).

The curriculum provides a comprehensive and practical roadmap to building real-world AI agents. Participants will get hands-on experience using Nagent AI’s no-code platform, with topics covering everything from agent orchestration and multi-agent collaboration to agentic prompting. The program is further enhanced with the integration of proprietary data grounding using a no-code RAG Pipeline.

Opportunities Post-Completion

Upon completing the program, participants will be given the opportunity to work on projects through Nagent AI's community, or they can apply their new skills to build AI agents for their own enterprises. The top projects developed during the course may even be considered for potential funding of up to ₹1 crore through the iHub's Call for Innovation pipeline.

This program represents an innovative approach to education, blending academic rigor from a top institution like IIT Mandi with production-grade security and immediate industry relevance. It's a prime example of how educational institutions are adapting to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving job market in the technology and engineering sectors.
