CEP Chair’s
Message
With the rapid pace of growth in science & technology and frequent paradigm shifts in policy,
governance and management, Continuing Education of working professionals in the industry is a
vital need. The Continuing Education Programme (CEP) office at IIT Bombay has been set up to meet
the manpower training and knowledge upgradation needs of the industry.
"As the pace of technological innovation and adoption gathers speed, it has led to the genesis of
myriad opportunities for business growth. Consequently, our approach towards continuing
education has adapted to these fundamental changes in critical and transformative ways. Our
courses draw on learnings from across the core technical, managerial and design disciplines taught
and researched at IIT Bombay. Therefore we are able to deliver inter-disciplinary material along with
the pedagogical rigour that IITs are known for, making for unrivalled offerings in the context of
continuing education."
"Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills needed to develop a competitive edge and propel your
career into the future."
