IIT Delhi Quantum Computing and AI Course: If you wish to build a career in emerging technologies and are looking for an opportunity to learn in rapidly growing fields like Quantum Computing or Artificial Intelligence (AI), there is good news for you. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has launched a new certificate program titled ‘Applied Quantum Computing and AI.’ Notably, admission to this course does not require a JEE score. The program is designed for students and professionals who want to understand future advanced technologies and build a career in this domain.
What is IIT Delhi’s new Quantum Computing and AI course?
IIT Delhi’s ‘Applied Quantum Computing and AI’ is a certificate program developed by expert faculty from the institute's Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The course covers modern technologies such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, quantum algorithms, post-quantum cryptography, and quantum-AI integration. It is based on a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical learning.
What will students learn?
During the course, students will gain knowledge ranging from basic concepts to advanced levels of quantum computing. They will learn quantum programming using Qiskit and gain hands-on experience in designing and testing quantum circuits on actual IBM Quantum hardware.
Additionally, key quantum algorithms such as Shor’s Algorithm, Grover’s Algorithm, QAOA, and VQE will be explained. With an eye on the future of cybersecurity, training will also be provided in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum-safe security technologies.
A combination of AI and Quantum
In this program, students will also learn how to integrate quantum computing with artificial intelligence. They will be taught how to create quantum kernels, QSVMs, and hybrid quantum-classical models. Furthermore, practical skills relevant to the industry will be developed through projects and capstone assignments.
Which fields will benefit? Upon completing the course, students will gain an understanding of the applications of quantum technology across various fields such as finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, logistics, and advanced research. Additionally, they will be prepared for emerging career paths in areas like quantum computing, post-quantum security, and quantum-AI development.
**6.5-Month Online Course; Apply by October 15**
This certificate program offered by IIT Delhi spans 6.5 months and is conducted entirely online. Classes are scheduled for weekends, making it convenient for working professionals to participate. A certificate will be awarded by the institute upon course completion. Interested candidates can apply online until October 15, 2026.
**Admission Without JEE; Check Eligibility**
A key highlight of this course is that admission does not require a JEE score. Applicants must hold a B.Tech/BE, BCA, MCA, or B.Sc. degree (with Mathematics) from a recognized institute. Candidates meeting the prescribed academic qualifications can apply directly for the program.
