Executive Post Graduate Programme in Applied AI and Agentic AI

The Agentic AI revolution is here

Companies today need to deploy large language models (LLMs) in production, build autonomous agents, and scale AI initiatives efficiently. The focus is increasingly on implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using enterprise data to enable secure and context-aware AI systems.

Program Highlights:

- Designed to give dual transformation

Master both sides of modern AI leadership — Applied AI, where you deploy and monitor ML APIs efficiently, and Agentic AI, where you design secure, multi-agent RAG systems with measurable ROI.

- Hands-on Learning:

10+ Masterclasses, 10+ Workshops,  30+ case studies and projects, 15+ Industry Tools, 2 Capstone Projects

- Build Agents Across 12+ Domains

Healthcare & Life Sciences, BFSI, Retail & E-commerce, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Media & Entertainment, Education (EdTech), Real Estate & PropTech, Energy & Utilities, Automotive, LegalTech, Agriculture (AgriTech), and Hospitality & Travel.

- Microsoft-Certified Advantage:

Earn industry backed certification from upGrad in association with Microsoft by completing specially designed modules integrated into the program + a hands-on immersion with Microsoft experts in Bengaluru

What is the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Applied AI and Agentic AI?

This 30-week program by IIIT Bangalore is designed to help professionals master the entire AI spectrum—from building production-ready Applied AI systems to designing autonomous, multi-agent Agentic AI platforms. It bridges the gap between machine learning development and real-world deployment, enabling you to design, monitor, and scale AI systems that deliver measurable business ROI.

What should I expect from the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Applied AI and Agentic AI ?

This programme will help you build three competitive advantages:

1. Dual Architecture

- Applied AI + Agentic AI in one programme

- Build churn models and autonomous agent crews

- Prove versatility hiring managers want

2. Production-First

- Every module ends with deployment.

- ML API on AWS with monitoring. Multi-agent platform in production

- Portfolio = Live URLs, not notebooks

3. Agentic AI Depth

- 15 weeks on autonomous agents (most programmes: 0-2 weeks)

- LangChain · LangGraph · AutoGen · CrewAI

- Production patterns for 2025 job market (30–40% premium roles)

What topics are going to be covered as part of the program?

The curriculum is divided into six modules across Applied AI (Weeks 1–15) and Agentic AI (Weeks 16–30):

• Foundations & Data Engineering: Python, SQL, feature engineering, pipelines, and EDA.
• Machine Learning & Deep Learning: Regression, boosting, CNNs, transformers, NLP, and time-series forecasting.
• MLOps & Production Systems: AWS, Docker, SageMaker, MLflow, FastAPI, monitoring, governance, and ROI tracking.
• LLM Foundations & RAG Systems: Prompt engineering, embeddings, vector DBs, hybrid search, and retrieval governance.
• Agent Frameworks & Orchestration: LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, planning, and multi-agent orchestration.
• Fine-Tuning, Scale & Security: LoRA, Bedrock, CI/CD, cost optimization, compliance, and privacy-by-design

Learners also complete two industry-grade capstones—one in ML system deployment and one in agentic platform development—building a demonstrable portfolio of real-world AI systems.

Can I sign up only for a few specific modules if I am interested?

No, the program is designed to be completed in its entirety, and cannot be taken as standalone modules.

What type of learning experience should I expect?

The content will be a blend of asynchronous and synchronous sessions, consisting of interactive lectures from industry leaders and world-renowned faculty. The program also offers doubt resolution sessions for solving your academic queries and reinforcing learning.

What is the time commitment expected for the programme?

At least 7-8 hours per week of time commitment is recommended to extract the maximum value from the program.

Is there any certification granted at the end of the program?

Post completion of the program, you will be awarded a certificate of successful completion from IIIT Bangalore

How do I know if the program is right for me?

This programme is best suited for AI, data science, and software professionals looking to move beyond experimentation and into real-world deployment of AI systems. It’s ideal for machine learning engineers, data scientists, software developers, solution architects, and tech leads who want to learn how to deploy, scale, and manage AI models and multi-agent systems in production. Product managers, consultants, and CXOs driving AI strategy will also find it valuable, as it builds the capability to connect technical execution with business outcomes — from ML monitoring and cost control to building autonomous, ROI-driven AI platforms.
