iHub-Data at IIIT Hyderabad has announced the launch of a six-month intensive training program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), aimed at upskilling early-career women engineers. Designed for women graduates who have completed their engineering degrees in the last few years, the program targets participants from Hyderabad and nearby regions seeking advanced knowledge and research-oriented skills in AI and ML. The program combines strong theoretical grounding with hands-on tutorials and applied learning experiences. Classes will be held every Monday at the IIIT Hyderabad campus, offering participants a collaborative and immersive academic environment. The curriculum spans both classical and contemporary AI/ML techniques, equipping learners with problem-solving skills relevant to industry as well as research applications. Speaking on the initiative, Dr C K Raju, Head of Educational Programs at iHub-Data, noted that the continuing education programs offered by the hub have seen strong outcomes in the past.

CIE@IIITH is now a space for people who wanted to explore their ideas alongside their day jobs. The quality of technology emerging from IIITH is high because the institute has invested in building strong research labs over a long period of time. This depth of research gives credibility and validation to both faculty members and founders working with us. In many cases, founders already have a basic solution or technical prototype. Our role is to help them refine that technology, strengthen it, and make it robust enough to address real product-market fit challenges. Software-based research is generally easier to translate into products because it is more agile and easier to iterate on. Hardware, especially research-led hardware, is much harder. Research is not always conducted with immediate societal or market needs in mind. Often, it is about pushing the boundaries of technology. While this leads to beautiful research outcomes, it does not always translate into market-ready products. Hardware research is particularly challenging because it is less flexible and harder to integrate quickly into existing solution frameworks.

Resonance Colleges, Hyderabad, organized the Career Clarity Conclave & Expo – 2026, a focused career-guidance and awareness initiative for students and parents on career options after Class 12, today at the JNTU Auditorium, Hyderabad. The day-long conclave featured 5 structured expert sessions with interactive student–parent Q&A. Ramesh Loganathan (Dean, International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad) message to the students was “Choose Computer Science based on aptitude and fundamentals—strong problem-solving will always stay relevant.” The conclave brought together leading voices from premier institutions and industry to provide practical guidance on career pathways, course selection, competitive exam direction, admissions awareness, and emerging opportunities across Engineering, Medicine, Science, Technology, and allied domains. Each session included one keynote speaker and two panel members, enabling students to gain multi-perspective clarity and real-world insights.
