IIT Delhi CEP: what you should know before applying

Three things to be clear about: (1) Only e-certificates are issued — no physical certificate. (2) Alumni status is explicitly not granted by IIT Delhi CEP programs. (3) IIT Delhi is not involved in placement services — that is handled separately by the enrollment partner if applicable. None of this affects the educational value or the IIT Delhi institutional credential on your CV.
