Program Principles

Why the Applied AI Engineering Mastery is different.

Gated & Calibrated

We do not allow direct card payments. Every cohort member passes a written test and clears an interview. This ensures classroom discussions are deep, relevant, and engaging.

Applicants → Exam & Interview → Enrolled

Current AI Skills

The curriculum is built around current, in-demand AI skills.

Performance Outcomes

Top performers from each cohort are eligible for paid internship extensions at iHelp Robotics and direct job placement opportunities with our industry network.

Curriculum

A 10-session path from model foundations to deployed AI products.

0

AI/ML foundations + your first working model

Python/ML drills, dataset work, daily mentor check-in

0

Deep learning foundations - neural networks from scratch

Implement forward/backward pass by hand, train a first network

0

Deep learning in practice - PyTorch, training & tuning

Rebuild the network in PyTorch, tune hyperparameters, debug with support

0

Computer vision + multimodal systems - image models and vision-language models (VLMs)

Train a classifier, experiment with a multimodal model on text+image input

0

LLMs & prompt engineering

Compare prompting strategies against a shared evaluation set

0

Fine-tuning open models (LoRA/QLoRA)

Fine-tune a small open model, compare prompted vs. fine-tuned outputs

0

RAG & vector databases - embeddings, hybrid search, reranking

Build a working RAG app on real documents, daily retrieval-quality tuning

0

AI agents & MCP (Model Context Protocol) - tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration

Build an autonomous agent that calls real tools, daily iteration

0

Deployment & evaluation - shipping agents live, monitoring, observability

Deploy the agent/model, build evaluation checks, daily monitoring

0

Capstone + Demo Day

Combine RAG + agents + deployment into one real product, present on Demo Day

Self-Check

This course is not for everyone.

Before you apply, be honest with yourself. This program is not the right fit if you:

  • You're completely new to programming and haven't written code before.

  • You're looking for a "learn AI in one weekend" shortcut.

  • You're not comfortable using a computer beyond basic tasks.

  • You're unwilling to build projects and learn by doing.

  • You're expecting guaranteed placements without putting in consistent effort.

If two or more of these describe you right now, that’s okay — it just means the timing is off. Spend a few months building on your own, then apply to a future cohort when you’re ready to commit.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

No. This program has a strict selective admission policy. All applicants must clear the entrance exam and pass the subsequent 1-on-1 interview to receive an invitation to pay and enroll.

If you do not clear the exam in this round, you are welcome to prepare and apply again for the next cohort. We will add you to our priority notification list so you are alerted as soon as applications open.

Students (engineering/tech backgrounds) and working professionals transitioning deeply into AI/ML. You must be prepared to commit 8-10 hours per week; the curriculum moves fast from the midpoint onward, so basic Python comfort is expected going in.

The Course Completion Certificate is guaranteed to every learner who finishes the 60-day program, regardless of final ranking. It is not performance-dependent.

Ranking for the ₹50,000 reward pool is based on entrance exam score, project and capstone quality, and mentor evaluation of class participation and deliverables.

The paid, stipend-based 3-month internship extension with iHelp Robotics is strictly performance-based, offered to high performers at the end of the cohort. It is never a guaranteed outcome of enrollment.

Because seats are strictly capped, payments are final. For extenuating circumstances or cohort deferral requests, please reach out to the admissions office directly.
