IIT Bombay launches professional certificate programs in cybersecurity & software development
According to the institute, the programme will be a 12-month, fully online programmes with proctored on-campus exams are designed for working professionals, college faculty and students in third or fourth year in engineering or computer science related area.
IIT aims to build expertise and real-world job readiness in high-impact domains with the help of this Professional Certificate Programmes in Cybersecurity and Software Development.
"We are bridging the critical skill gap our country faces through rigorous, accessible and highly hands-on learning," said Kameswari Chebrolu, Lead Faculty for the programmes.
The participants of this programme will be able to complete three structured courses delivered by IIT Bombay faculty. Additionally, the industry-aligned curriculum emphasizes weekly hands-on labs designed to closely replicate professional work environments and tools used in leading organizations.
IIT, Bombay claims that India's cybersecurity market expected to surpass USD 10 billion by 2025 and software development powering innovation across sectors, these programmes prepare learners for high-demand roles, including; Full-Stack Developer, Security Analyst, Security Architect, DevSecOps Engineer, and more.
The applications for both the programme are now open and the course is expected to start by Sept. 1, 2025.
The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, set up in 1958 as the second IIT, is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of science and engineering education and research. The Institute was granted the status of 'Institution of Eminence' by the Ministry of Education (the then Ministry of Human Resources Development) on July 9, 2018.
The Institute has 17 academic departments, 35 other academic entities (Centres/ Programmes/ Academic facilities/ Hubs/ Externally funded centres and Labs) and three schools. Over the last six decades, more than 75,000 engineers and scientists have graduated from the Institute. (ANI)

IIT-G researchers develop bamboo composite for automotive interiors
1 2 Guwahati: In a significant breakthrough, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) transformed local bamboo into high-performance automotive materials. They developed an eco-friendly composite material made of 'Bambusa tulda', a fast-growing bamboo species in the northeast, combined with biodegradable polymers. " Due to its high strength, thermal stability, low moisture absorption, and cost-effectiveness, the developed composite is a suitable replacement for conventional plastics used in automotive interiors," an IIT-G spokesperson said on Thursday. Led by Prof Poonam Kumari of the mechanical engineering department of IIT-G, the research not only addresses the problem of plastic waste but also provides a solution to the growing global demand for greener materials, particularly in automotive manufacturing industries. The findings of this research were published in the prestigious journal, Environment, Development and Sustainability (Springer Nature), in a paper co-authored by Prof Poonam Kumari, along with her research scholars Abir Saha and Nikhil Dilip Kulkarni from IIT-G. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo Kumari said, "The developed composite can be used for designing components/parts in consumer electronics, automobiles, aerospace, sustainable building materials, etc. The product will replace wood/iron/plastic components and will have a similar cost and lead to fulfilling SGD goals (7, 8, and 9). This development is in line with the Make in India policy under the Green Tech Revolution." The IIT-G researchers tested four bamboo-based composite formulations consisting of Bambusa tulda fibres reinforced with bio-based or petroleum-based epoxies. By treating the bamboo fibres with alkali, they improved its compatibility with the base polymer, resulting in enhanced durability for real-world use. "The developed formulations were then evaluated on 17 different parameters to test their tensile strength, thermal resistance, impact durability, water absorption, and cost per kilogram, among others," the researchers said. While these formulations had distinct strengths, the research team noted that none of them had all the properties to provide a balanced and high-performing option. To identify the same, the team used Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM), a structured evaluation method. The results observed that the bamboo composite made with bio-based epoxy FormuLite was the best-performing option with low moisture absorption, significant thermal stability, and mechanical strength. "The cost-effective nature of the composite, priced at Rs 4300/kg, makes it an eco-friendly solution for automotive parts, such as vehicle dashboards, door panels, and seat backs, among others," they added. The team is currently conducting a full life cycle assessment of the developed composite to measure its environmental impact from production to disposal. As the next step, the research team is planning to apply industrial techniques such as compression modelling and resin transfer to scale up production.

IIT Guwahati team gives bamboo an automobile-ready touch
GUWAHATI A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) have fused bamboo with biodegradable polymers to develop a composite material as a suitable replacement for conventional plastics used in automotive interiors. The cost-effective and eco-friendly composite made from Bambusa tulda, a fast-growing bamboo species grown across India's northeast, has potential applications in furniture, electronics, and packaging industries too, the researchers said. The team said properties such as high strength, thermal stability, and low moisture absorption make the composite a greener alternative to plastics. The findings of the team's research were published in the journal Environment, Development and Sustainability. The paper is co-authored by Poonam Kumari, Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and research scholars Abir Saha and Nikhil Dilip Kulkarni.
