The Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) has launched a 12-month certificate programme on ‘Future Wireless Communications.’ The course will commence on August 1, 2022.

The course is divided into four modules with an option to exit after any module with a certificate. The last date for submitting applications is July 10.
