IITs Prepare for Web 3.0 Future, to Offer Crypto, Blockchain, NFT Courses
Web 3.0, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Metaverse and NFT are future-focused technology-based courses. Such educational programs are developed in India by TimesPro in collaboration with leading industry partners and Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Students, who will complete these new technology based courses, will be issued certificates from institutes like IIT-Delhi, IIT-Roorkee and IIT-Ropar. Even the IIT faculties are also involved in designing many of these technology based courses.
According to FICCI-EY’s 2022 report, Web3.0 has been dubbed as the game changer for the internet and could add nearly $1.1 trillion to India’s GDP by 2032. It also mentions that the metaverse will evolve drastically, lead to more disruptions, build consumer experience, and by 2025 will have over 50 million avatars in their place.
To offer future-centric and technology-driven programs to learners, a Web3.0 learning initiative has been launched, through a unique interactive experience in the metaverse.
The aim of the initiative in India is to provide students with unmatched quality of modern and new age learning through cutting edge programs in various Web 3.0 technologies such as Blockchain, Crypto Currency, Metaverse, NFT among others.
These programs are developed in collaboration with leading industry and institute partners such as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, iHub Divyasampark (IIT Roorkee) and India Blockchain Alliance.
Under these technology-based courses, various certificate programs are offered as per the students’ convenience and ability. Its core is to provide students with an opportunity to learn in ever-evolving technology.
Starting with Web 3.0, the Blockchain Developer Program will be introduced in collaboration with various to improve the skills of technology students in addition to certificate programs in Blockchain, FinTech, Blockchain Fundamentals and Solidity and Ethereum Smart Contracts.
