2. Statistical Data Analysis and Deep Learning 2.0
An advanced course combining theoretical foundations with hands-on training in machine learning, neural networks, and contemporary deep learning architectures. Participants will work with modern analytical tools and real-world applications.
3. Advanced Optical Diagnostic Techniques
A specialised course on state-of-the-art optical instrumentation, laser-based diagnostics, spectroscopy techniques, and their applications in scientific research.
Prof Laxmidhar Behera, Director of IIT Mandi, said the initiative aims to equip learners with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving career landscape. “By engaging directly with electric vehicles, deep learning models, and advanced optical systems, learners develop practical competencies that industries increasingly demand. Our aim is to empower participants to step into emerging roles with confidence and contribute meaningfully to future technologies.”
Dr Tushar Jain, Head of CCE, added that the courses are designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations. “These programmes deliver hands-on, application-oriented training in areas shaping the future of technology and research. We encourage students, researchers, and professionals to take advantage of these unique opportunities during the winter break.”
