Executive Post Graduate Certificate in AI-Native Software Engineering
Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Kharagpur
A full-stack AI engineering program to ship real-world AI systems
A production-first, AI-native engineering programme for working software Engineers to transition from traditional architecture to building intelligent, AI-powered systems. Delivered by IIT Kharagpur, it combines full-stack engineering with modern AI covering frontend, backend, retrieval systems, agentic workflows, and production deployment.
Established in 1951, IIT Kharagpur India’s first IIT and a global leader in engineering, brings strong expertise in computer science, AI, and systems research, ensuring rigorous, industry-relevant learning.
Built for how software is developed today, the programme enables learners to design systems, apply AI across the stack, and deliver production-ready applications by building an end-to-end AI system, from architecture to deployment.
From Full Stack to AI-Native Systems,
Faculty Leadership
Taught exclusively by professors from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur.
Academic Rigour
Research-backed instruction with strong theoretical grounding and applied relevance.
Curriculum : The AI-Native Engineering Journey
Frontend → Backend → AI Systems → Agents → Production
One Integrated System + Capstone Project
Build a single AI product across all modules (not demos) & deploy a live AI system.
Executive Alumni Status & Award Ceremony
Certificate presentation held on campus at IIT Kharagpur.
The Curriculum for Engineers Who Own the AI Layer. Design Systems, Build with AI, Ship to Production
Build One AI System. End-to-End.
Not demos. One real production system. Frontend → Backend → RAG → Agents → Deployment
Vibe Coding with Engineering Judgment
Don’t just use AI, learn when to trust it. Build manually → rebuild with AI → audit outputs for bugs, security gaps, and architecture trade-offs.
MCP Protocol & Agentic Engineering
Go beyond chatbots to real AI systems. Build MCP servers, multi-agent workflows, and integrate with real-world services (WhatsApp, APIs, etc.).
India-Specific from Day One
Built for real-world Indian use cases. OCR for PAN /GST /Aadhaar, multilingual RAG, INR cost modeling, WA & UPI integrations, DPDP compliance.
AI Security & DPDP Compliance (As Code)
Ship AI systems that are safe and compliant. Prompt injection defense, adversarial testing, and full DPDP implementation (consent, erasure, audit trails).
Evaluation as Engineering Practice
Measure AI quality like you measure code. RAGAS metrics, LLM-as-judge, CI-integrated evaluation gates, and regression testing for AI systems.
