IIT Delhi and TeamLease EdTech Kick‑start AI for Healthcare Executive Programme
The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi has teamed up with TeamLease EdTech to introduce a 24‑week online executive programme in artificial intelligence for healthcare professionals. With live weekend sessions, hands‑on projects and mentorship from leading faculty, the course is scheduled to begin on 1 November 2025, and admissions are open until 31 July 2025. The programme aims to equip clinicians, engineers, data scientists and med‑tech entrepreneurs with a robust understanding of AI applications across healthcare domains including diagnostics, imaging, risk scoring, hospital operations and public health analytics. Course modules cover foundational topics such as machine learning, deep learning, big data and IoT monitoring of patient data, before progressing to advanced concepts like natural language processing for electronic health records, predictive analytics and AI‑powered dashboards. Classes will be conducted entirely online on weekends to accommodate working professionals, and participants will work with real clinical datasets and hospital data systems. A capstone project, mentored by IIT Delhi faculty and experts from AIIMS and the med‑tech industry, will enable learners to build deployable AI tools under guidance. ADVERTISEMENT Fee structure is set at ₹1.20 lakh plus 18 per cent GST, payable in two instalments. Eligibility extends to any graduate professional working in healthcare, research, industry or academia with interest in AI, and no prior coding experience is required. Officials emphasise that AI has moved from optional to essential in modern medicine. Professor Manav Bhatnagar, Head of the Continuing Education Programme at IIT Delhi, highlighted the institute's goal to develop 'next‑gen capabilities that respond to evolving healthcare needs', adding that the programme will empower professionals to lead this transformation. Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO of TeamLease EdTech, noted that the collaboration bridges clinical knowledge and data intelligence to create impactful healthcare solutions. External analysts point to broader global trends behind the move. The World Economic Forum estimates that AI could add over US $150 billion annually to global healthcare economies through enhanced efficiency and patient outcomes. In India, NITI Aayog and EY forecast the digital healthcare market—driven by AI diagnostics and telemedicine—to exceed $37 billion by 2030. The curriculum is divided into several thematic blocks: foundational AI methods; clinical and hospital data analytics; predictive modelling; medical imaging and automation; IoT‑based monitoring; EHR and NLP; public health analytics; and design of dashboards and decision‑support tools. Over 10 case studies and numerous hands‑on exercises will ensure participants not only learn theory but also apply skills to real‑world challenges. On completion, alumni can explore roles such as AI/ML Engineer developing diagnostic models; Healthcare Data Scientist analysing clinical datasets; Clinical AI Researcher validating AI systems in hospital settings; Digital Health Consultant guiding AI adoption; Medical Imaging Analyst interpreting scans; AI Product Manager in health‑tech; or Regulatory/Data Governance Specialist ensuring compliance. The weekend‑only format promises greater flexibility for busy professionals, with interactive live sessions and opportunities to network with CIOs, med‑tech founders and industry experts. TeamLease EdTech will support the programme delivery and student success, integrating technology platforms with IIT Delhi's academic oversight. Applications close on 31 July 2025. The programme will run from 1 November 2025 through early May 2026. Prospective applicants are directed to IIT Delhi's Continuing Education Programme portal for registration and scholarship information. This launch positions IIT Delhi and TeamLease at the forefront of AI‑driven healthcare education, anticipating a future where data intelligence plays a transformative role in patient care, system efficiency and population health outcomes.

66% Indian professionals trust degrees over short courses for career growth: Report
Even in an era dominated by micro-courses, YouTube tutorials, and on-demand certifications, the traditional degree continues to hold strong ground among Indian professionals. According to TeamLease EdTech's latest report on the impact of upskilling on performance appraisals, nearly 66 per cent of respondents 'most definitely' believe that long-term upskilling via degrees and diplomas carries strong career signaling value. Only a small fraction, about 8 per cent, were unsure of its relevance. Are short courses falling short? Not necessarily. The report finds that professionals are still heavily engaging with short-term formats for real-time learning needs. In fact, over 50 per cent of respondents said they used online tutorials (like YouTube) or short online certifications lasting 1–3 months. This preference is especially visible in fields like Sales and Marketing, where over 80 per cent of respondents relied on such formats to build job-relevant skills. However, when it comes to career advancement, role shifts, and long-term growth, traditional programmes still dominate the perception of value. Are degrees the ultimate career currency? The survey indicates that formal education is seen not just as a knowledge acquisition tool, but also as a reliable currency in performance discussions and promotion cycles. This is particularly significant in a climate where professionals are increasingly taking charge of their growth journeys. The report highlights that over 84 per cent of respondents took up some form of upskilling in the past 12 months, with many aiming to future-proof their careers. Among them, those opting for formal, long-duration learning believe it positions them more strongly for advancement. What drives this trust in traditional degrees? A key insight lies in career planning behaviours. According to the report, about 61 per cent of professionals said their primary motivation for upskilling was future career planning. Interestingly, those with a long-term outlook were three times more likely to report clarity in their professional growth trajectory, even when promotions didn't follow immediately. This supports the idea that professionals view degrees not as quick wins, but as meaningful investments that enhance long-term career credibility. Who's paying for these degrees? Surprisingly, 46 per cent of professionals self-funded their most recent upskilling efforts, with only about 24 per cent receiving full employer sponsorship. This trend reflects not just initiative, but also a strong belief that investing in formal learning pays off, whether or not companies back it financially. The report also notes that tech and finance professionals were among the highest self-funders, with nearly 78 per cent in these sectors covering their costs. Short-term for survival, long-term for growth Given the data, this seems to be the emerging dual trend. While professionals turn to short, just-in-time content to solve immediate challenges, they still pursue long-form programs like diplomas and post-graduate degrees for role enhancements and career pivots. The TeamLease report notes that over 42 per cent of respondents reported a promotion, role enhancement, or salary hike within 18 months of upskilling, and a large share of them had invested in longer-term learning formats. The data is based on a nationwide survey conducted by TeamLease EdTech, which took insights from 14,316 professionals across diverse sectors, including Sales, Technology, HR, Finance, and Operations. The study aimed to understand how upskilling influences key career milestones—particularly performance appraisals, promotions, and role enhancements—while also examining the motivations behind learning and who funds it. ...
