Engineering rigor

Built for engineers, by engineers

Most ML courses teach three lines of SDK boilerplate. We teach you to engineer retrieval pipelines, evaluate models honestly, and ship AI services that survive production.

Hackathon & project defense

The 48-hour agentic AI hackathon & capstone

Late in the cohort, fellows take part in a 48-hour build sprint, then defend a production-grade capstone in a live technical review.

FLAGSHIP HACKATHON

Build production autonomous agents

Teams ship LangGraph multi-agent systems with self-correction, sandboxed tools and telemetry — judged live on engineering quality.

Resume–JD match engine with RAG

Bi-encoder embeddings, BM25 keyword matching and cross-encoder re-ranking for fast candidate scoring.

  • Qdrant
  • FastAPI
  • Cross-encoder

Regulatory filing parser agent

A multi-agent pipeline that parses long financial filings, extracts tables into Postgres and cross-checks claims.

Questions & policies

Frequently asked questions

Schedule commitments, compute, refunds and the admissions process.

What is the exact live schedule commitment?

Sessions run every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM IST (2.5 hours per session) on Google Meet. Expect another 4 to 6 hours during the week for labs and office hours.

What if I miss a live session?

Every session is recorded and published to your learner portal alongside notebooks, code and reading links. You keep lifetime access.

What are the prerequisites to enroll?

You should be comfortable with intermediate Python (functions, classes, comprehensions) and basic linear algebra. Prior ML experience is not required — Module 01 builds the fundamentals.

Do I need an expensive local GPU?

No. All labs are designed to run on Google Colab, RunPod, or serverless endpoints. Setup instructions are provided on Day 1.

What is the refund and deferral policy?

Full refund if requested before Session 02 begins. If work interferes, you can defer your seat to the next batch at no extra charge.
