This groundbreaking partnership is set to empower learners with the opportunity to attain advanced certifications in two high-demand domains: Full Stack Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as Full Stack Web Development.
The E&ICT Academies represent a pioneering joint venture between the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) of the Government of India and the esteemed IITs and NITs across the nation.
Through this innovative alliance, E&ICT Academy at IIT Guwahati and AlmaBetter share a common vision of enhancing learners’ employability, particularly in the fields of Data Science and Software Engineering, among other specialized areas. The curriculum for these programs has been meticulously crafted and scrutinized by experts at E&ICT Academy, IIT Guwahati. Notably, learners enrolling with AlmaBetter will receive an additional Advanced Certification endorsed by E&ICT Academy, IIT Guwahati, elevating their educational journey to IIT-certified global standards. This partnership signifies a significant stride towards bridging the skills gap and providing learners with world-class education in cutting-edge technology fields.
In this remarkable collaboration, learners embarking on their educational journey with AlmaBetter will gain unprecedented access to a wealth of knowledge. Notably, they will have the privilege of attending guest lectures delivered by esteemed IIT Guwahati faculty members, providing them with insights and expertise from some of the brightest minds in academia.
Furthermore, learners will have the option to partake in a transformative campus immersion experience at the hallowed grounds of IIT Guwahati. This opportunity will allow them to truly immerse themselves in the world of cutting-edge technology, fostering a deeper understanding of their chosen fields and forging invaluable connections within the tech community.
Upon successful completion of these certifications, learners will have the prestigious IIT endorsement to embellish their resumes, catapulting their career prospects to new heights. This endorsement is a testament to their commitment to excellence and their dedication to acquiring top-tier education.
In a country where access to premium institutes and high-quality tech education has traditionally been limited to a fortunate few, this partnership signifies a pivotal shift. According to a report published in 2018, a mere 3% of students in India had the privilege of enrolling in prestigious institutions such as IIMs and IITs. AlmaBetter, through this alliance, seeks to challenge this status quo by democratizing tech education. By making it both widely accessible and affordable to tech enthusiasts and professionals nationwide, AlmaBetter aspires to increase this fraction by a significant 30%. This endeavor represents a transformative step towards a more inclusive and equitable tech education landscape in India.
