New Short Term Course #24(CRAY)
Introduction to CRAYFISH OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES
- Included in Hydroinformatics Bundle Crayfish Optimization Algorithm: Concepts, Numerical Examples and Engineering Applications is a structured 10-part course that introduces COA through clear explanations, step-by-step calculations, and practical problem formulation. Designed for students, researchers, educators, and engineering professionals, the course begins with optimization fundamentals, including decision variables, objective functions, candidate solutions, and fitness evaluation.
- Learners explore population initialization, random temperature generation, and the algorithm’s three behavioral stages—shelter seeking, competition, and foraging. A simple numerical example connects these concepts with position updates, boundary handling, solution acceptance, and best-solution tracking. The course distinguishes simplified teaching illustrations from the original algorithmic operators before progressing to pseudocode, implementation checks, and reproducible evaluation.
- An illustrative reservoir-release scheduling problem connects the introductory example with water-resources engineering and hydroinformatics. By completing the course, learners will develop a foundation for understanding COA, planning an implementation, and evaluating candidate solutions within a constrained engineering problem.
- Scope for internship opportunities, subject to eligibility and availability.
- First Five Parts Free. Last 5 Parts are available only to paid members of Baipatra VSC.
New Short Term Course #23(COPRAS)
The first five parts are free.
The last 5 Parts are available only to
paid members of Baipatra VSC.
Introduction to COPRAS MCDM
- Included in Hydroinformatics Bundle Develop your understanding of multi-criteria decision-making through this 10-part email course on COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment). Designed for students and researchers, the course offers a step-by-step introduction to the method, from preparing a decision matrix to interpreting results and ranking alternatives.
- Lessons delivered by email provide a structured way to learn at your own pace. The first five parts are free, allowing you to explore the fundamentals before enrolling in the final five paid parts for further learning and application.
- Course highlights
- Ten sequential lessons delivered by email.
- First five parts free; final five parts paid.
- Step-by-step learning supported by practical examples.
- Scope to receive a certificate of completion, subject to completion requirements.
- Scope for internship opportunities, subject to eligibility and availability.
- Build your analytical skills and explore how COPRAS can support research and practical decision-making. Details of fees, certificate requirements, and internship opportunities will be shared separately. First Five Parts Free. Last 5 Parts are available only to paid members of Baipatra VSC.
Short Term Course #22(TOP)
Introduction to TOPSIS MCDM
Included in Hydroinformatics Bundle
Make smarter, more transparent decisions with our Introduction to TOPSIS MCDM This practical programme takes you from the fundamentals of Multi-Criteria Decision Making to the complete TOPSIS procedure, including decision-matrix development, normalization, criteria weighting, ideal and negative-ideal solutions, separation measures, and final ranking of alternatives.
Each lesson uses real-life case studies to show how TOPSIS can support choices in engineering, water-resource management, environmental planning, business, and research. Whether you are an MTech student, PhD scholar, researcher, or working professional, this course will help you confidently analyse multiple conflicting criteria and justify your final decision with a structured scientific approach.
Ready to turn complex choices into clear rankings? Join the TOPSIS MCDM E-Course today and begin learning through practical, real-world case studies.

Short Term Course #21(STAT)
Introduction to Data Science with Practice Problems and Project Ideas
Included in Hydroinformatics Bundle
This one-year (extendable) self-paced Data Science certificate course covers performance metrics, statistical analysis, MCDM, Artificial Neural Networks, and conventional and nature-inspired optimization techniques, all taught with real-life case studies and example problems. Learners work through topics such as outlier and trend detection, correlation, risk and uncertainty, regression, ANN modeling and training, MCDM methods (AHP, ANP, MAUT, EVAMIX, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE), and optimization methods (Linear/Dynamic/Quadratic Programming, PSO, ACO, GA, Glowworm, Firefly, Mine Burst). Weekly online assignments and monthly tests support continuous learning, and on successful completion, participants receive a certificate, emailed materials for long-term use, ongoing updates while subscribed, and scope for publication based on high-quality work.
Short Term Course #20(GIS)
Introduction to Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Included in Hydroinformatics Bundle
Remote sensing is the process of gathering information about objects or phenomena without physical contact, while GIS (Geographic Information System) captures, stores, and analyzes spatial data; together, they enable effective data-driven decision-making across sectors like agriculture, urban planning, environment, and resource management. This self-paced certificate course teaches concepts and techniques of remote sensing, GIS, GPS, and image processing—including map digitization, shapefile creation, satellite imagery analysis, and geodatabase and GeoApps development—to empower learners with the skills needed for sustainable city planning and research applications. The one-year program offers videos, quizzes, graded assignments, and one-to-one mentorship, with opportunities for certification and publication, particularly benefitting students and professionals in science and engineering fields interested in spatial data analysis and technological applications.
