Train Faculty to Run AI Centres of Excellence — Not Just Teach AI.

A structured Faculty Development Program (ToT) designed to enable polytechnic faculty to deliver AI training, manage labs, and mentor real-world projects using the Applied AI CoE model.

The Challenge

Why Most Faculty Training Programs Fail

Current Gaps
  • Theory-heavy: Focused on slides and abstractions with no physical deployment or lab setup.
  • Infrastructure Blind: No integration with GPU workstations, edge devices, or cloud platforms.
  • Disconnected Outcomes: Training ends at certification, without impacting actual student classroom delivery.
  • Academic Silos: Disconnected from industry standards and real-world deployment workflows.
The CoE Approach
  • Deployment-First: Faculty learn by building and deploying AI models on real infra.
  • Hardware Integrated: Hands-on experience with Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and IndiaAI Cloud.
  • Sustainable Delivery: A complete pedagogy for 2-hour lab-first teaching sessions.
  • Industry Alignment: Direct mentorship from MyOoumph industry AI engineers.

“We built the CoE ToT differently — to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry reality.”

The Solution

A Programme Shaped Around CoE Delivery

Productivity First

Before we teach them to code, we teach faculty to use GenAI to automate their own workloads—generating rubrics, lesson plans, and assessments. Buy-in is immediate because it saves them time.

The "I Don't Know" Framework

We train faculty to model uncertainty. When a student's code breaks, the instructor is taught to co-debug live using LLMs, rather than pretending to know every Python syntax error. This builds authentic authority.

Integrated with Real Infra

Faculty learn to manage GPU workstations, the IndiaAI Cloud, and Edge AI kits (Jetson, Raspberry Pi), so they end up as the technical owners of the CoE infrastructure.

What You Can Do After ToT

  • Deliver Tier 1 (Foundation) independently
  • Co-deliver Tier 2 (Core) with industry trainers
  • Run and maintain on-campus AI labs
  • Mentor student projects for GitHub portfolios
  • Deploy AI applications on IndiaAI Cloud

Who Should Apply

  • Polytechnic faculty (CS/IT, Electronics, Electrical, Civil, Mechanical)

  • Non-CS faculty looking to integrate AI in their domain

  • Institutions building or upgrading their Applied AI CoE

Partnership Model

Industry + Faculty = A Sustainable CoE.

We stay on after the training. The CoE runs on a hybrid model that keeps delivery consistent and the faculty’s skills current.
