This is the most interesting factor that they have collaborations with a lot of industry professionals to demonstrate the real-world scenarios of the concepts that are covered in the modules.

    The program is designed in such a way that it is industry relevant with experienced IIIT-B faculty. In every course, IIIT-B faculty shares input with core concept explanation and industry mentors talk about real-world implementation of concepts, which makes the course content more interesting and relevant.
