IIT Madras Pravartak is launching free online training programmes for school students and educators, with courses starting in November 2026. The offerings target students in Classes 7 to 12 and include subjects such as artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, entrepreneurship, and related innovation skills. NDTV and The Hindu both describe the initiative as free online training, while Times of India provides more programme structure and timing details.
The programmes run from November 2026 to January 2027 and are described as including live classes, case studies, and practical activities. Times of India also says that teachers and educators can enrol in professional development programmes, alongside student-focused training. Registration is handled through an official portal and is available until January 2027 in the Times of India coverage, with some information on schedule and certification options also noted.
Across outlets, the initiative is framed as expanding access to skill-building, with similar course themes repeated. The key differences are the level of detail on course duration, the specific inclusion of electric vehicles in the student track, and whether classroom management is emphasised in teachers’ content.
