NIIT introduces programmes for diploma holders

NIIT’s software engineering programme can now be taken up part time to suit flexibility needs of learners.  

NIIT Limited, a talent development organisation, has announced initiatives to widen India’s talent pool in support of the Government of India’s plans for skilling and digital education in the country.  To broaden the tech talent pool in the country, diploma holders too will now be eligible for NIIT’s programmes on cybersecurity and cloud (these programmes were earlier restricted to only engineering graduates).  

The programme on cybersecurity is designed to prepare learners for industry-leading certifications. NIIT also announced that its software engineering programme can now be taken up part time to suit flexibility needs of learners.  These online programmes, delivered in a live and interactive manner, will help bridge the gap between the requirements of the tech industry and the job readiness of new diploma holders, engineering and science graduates and the existing workforce.  

NIIT also offers programmes in the new age fields of digital marketing, product engineering, data science & machine learning and 5G certification programme. 

Assured job outcome for learners  

Speaking on the launch of the programmes, Abhishek Arora, Business Head, Skills and Career Business, NIIT Ltd, said “We launched the NIIT Digital platform as an avenue for new age online learning with assured job outcomes for learners and professionals. The programmes are designed to provide learners with industry-specific and hands-on training as well as assured placements.” 

The programmes are inclusive of multiple benefits such as flexible payment options, no cost EMIs for fee payment, guidance on selection of programmes and career opportunities besides interaction with mentors at NIIT to resolve queries. The company also provides a "try before you buy" option for learners, allowing them to get a firsthand experience of how the programme will pan out allowing for more informed professional development decisions.  

Fee refund if assured placement not delivered  

Subject to terms and conditions, NIIT will also refund full programme fees, in case the assured placement is not delivered to the learner on completion of the programme.
