IIIT Hyderabad Launches Online Minor Program in Modern Machine Learning

The International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH) has announced the launch of a fully online Minor Program in Modern Machine Learning, through its Flexible Learning and Outreach Division.

Open to third-year undergraduate students and above from Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or Technology backgrounds, the one-year program is designed to run alongside regular academic schedules. It follows a modular format, featuring live interactive sessions, hands-on labs, real-world projects, and mentorship from IIITH faculty.

Participating colleges may choose to recognize the Minor Certificate as a Minor Degree, based on their own academic policies and interest in extending the program to their students.

“Machine Learning is rapidly transforming every sector, and our aim is to equip students with a strong foundation and hands-on experience in this high-demand field,” said Prof. Venkatesh Choppella, Associate Dean of the Division of Flexible Learning at IIIT Hyderabad.

The program will commence on August 25, 2025. Applications open on July 26 and close on August 15, 2025.

Structured into five terms, the curriculum covers:

• Foundations of ML

Students may earn individual course certificates or complete the program for a Minor Certificate in Modern Machine Learning through a flexible credit structure.
