Overview
About the programme
The PG Certificate in AI Driven Strategic HR Management programme from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee is built for working professionals who need to move from doing the work to owning the outcome. Over 8 months, it takes you from foundations through to the judgement calls that only show up at senior level.
The curriculum is delivered by IIT Roorkee faculty alongside industry practitioners, and every module ends in applied work — a case, a lab or a decision you have to defend. Asia's oldest technical institution.
Sessions run on weekends, so the programme fits around a full-time role. You finish with a portfolio of applied work, a certificate from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, and a cohort you will keep calling long after the programme ends.
