NIAT Learners Get IIT Kharagpur OCN Courses

-

India’s leading edtech startup has announced that learners enrolling in 2026 to NIAT – an upskilling initiative by NxtWave will have access to IIT Kharagpur micro-specialisation course(s) delivered through the IIT Kharagpur Outreach Course Network (A Platinum Jubilee initiative of IIT Kharagpur).

The MoU was signed in the presence of Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Director, IIT Kharagpur; Girish Akash, Head of Partnerships, NxtWave; Prof. Swagata Dasgupta, Dean, Outreach, IIT Kharagpur; Prof. Rajib Maity, Associate Dean, Outreach, IIT Kharagpur; Mr. Pratik Dama, Public Relations Officer, IIT Kharagpur; Mr. Reetesh Chandra, CEO, ProofSlate & Mr. Abhrajit Saha, COO, ProofSlate.

As an onboarded partner of IIT Kharagpur OCN, NxtWave aims to provide learners with structured exposure to advanced areas of technology through micro-specialisation course(s) from IIT Kharagpur, alongside their regular programme at NxtWave.

All eligible students will earn an IIT Kharagpur OCN Micro-SpecialisationCertificate upon successful completion, along with access to an IIT Kharagpur OCN Student Identity Card for the programme duration, IIT Kharagpur OCN email ID for the programme duration, and IIT Kharagpur OCN Alumni Status upon successful completion, subject to IIT Kharagpur’s policies and applicable requirements.

Prof. Suman Chakraborty, Director, IIT Kharagpur, said, "As IIT Kharagpur marks its Platinum Jubilee, we ask not only how far we have come in seventy-five years, but how far our knowledge can now travel. The National Education Policy 2020 calls on us to carry quality education to every doorstep, and the Outreach Course Network is our answer: credit-bearing programmes that take the faculty, rigour and standards of Kharagpur beyond our campus to learners across the nation. In our seventy-fifth year, we reaffirm a simple conviction, that a young Indian's future must be shaped by aspiration and ability, not by the gate they were able to walk through.”

Speaking on the development, Rahul Attuluri, Co-Founder and CEO, NxtWave said, “We are delighted to collaborate with IIT Kharagpur, an institution that has played a pioneering role in shaping India’s technology and innovation ecosystem for decades. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to preparing students for the opportunities emerging in the age of AI. Generative AI and Agentic AI are rapidly transforming the way technology is built and deployed across industries. Through this micro-specialisation, we aim to provide students with structured exposure to these cutting-edge domains and help them develop the skills required to thrive in an AI-driven world. We believe such industry-relevant learning experiences will play a critical role in shaping the next generation of innovators, builders, and technology leaders."
