It may not be a good idea to attend IIIT Hyderabad's artificial intelligence and machine learning certification program. A friend of mine enrolled in this program. According to him, very few classes are taken by IIIT Hyderabad professors. 

The teaching methodology used is old school. If you ask a doubt, you will be given a rhetorical answer most of the time. 

There are teaching assistants who are responsible for taking daily tests and lab sessions. But most of them, don’t have much idea about the subject matter. You can get many good PGP courses online in the same fee range. 

One of my cousins took this course and loved the course right away. She was satisfied with the course structure and the delivery of the concepts. Here is what she stated regarding the program 

• The concerned faculty is very learned and approachable. The students can talk to them and clear all their doubts.
• The peers in this particular program are from diverse backgrounds making it a more enriched experience. 
• The students are evaluated on a frequent basis in the form of weekly tests, regular hackathons, and group and individual lab sessions. 
• The lectures are extremely interactive and available in video form for future reference.
• The program is quite rigorous and requires immense dedication as you will be devoting all your weekends for 3 months.

Overall, she was very satisfied with the program and recommends it to everyone willing to become an AIML Professional. However, she added that one needs to be good at coding and have a knack for Python before taking up the program.
