Mandi,  The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) at Indian Institute of
Technology Mandi in multiple collaborations with National Skills Development Corporation
(NSDC), and Himachal Pradesh Kaushal Vikas Nigam (HPKVN) is offering various training and
learning programs from end-June 2023.
Speaking about the potential outcomes of various programs being offered by the
institute, Prof. Tushar Jain, Head, Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), IIT Mandi, said,
“CCE, IIT Mandi is offering new age courses sponsored by HPKVN, which are specifically
designed for the youth of Himachal Pradesh. These courses provide an opportunity for the
youth to enhance their skills and knowledge in domains such as Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Industrial Automation.”
These courses are residential, meaning that students have the option to stay on campus during
the duration of the program. However, they also offer flexibility for students to join online if they
prefer to pursue the courses remotely. This allows for greater accessibility and convenience for
those who may not be able to attend in person.
One notable aspect of these programs is that they are free of cost for Himachali youth. This
means that the tuition fees for the courses are waived off, and additionally, the institute provides
free boarding, lodging, and food for the duration of the program. This makes the courses highly
accessible to the youth of Himachal Pradesh, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder
their participation.
The primary objective of these training programs is to equip the Himachali candidates with the
necessary knowledge and skills that align with the latest industry standards. The aim is to make
them job-ready and enhance their employability prospects. By focusing on cutting-edge fields
like AI, ML, IoT, and Industrial Automation, the courses prepare the candidates to meet the
demands of the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

In a significant development, IIT Mandi has committed to providing placement opportunities for
all the candidates upon successful completion of the courses to facilitate job placements for the
students, enhancing their prospects for securing employment in relevant industries.
Overall, the courses offered by IIT Mandi's Centre for Continuing Education aim to empower the
youth of Himachal Pradesh by providing them with high-quality education, practical skills, and
job placement opportunities.”
