Applied AI & Agentic Systems
From E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee - a 175 year old legacy.
2–3 live masterclasses with CXOs on the AI decisions you'll actually face.
A selective process keeps every cohort small and serious.
Guidance from a coach matched to where you're headed.
Faculty, peers, and campus — the part a screen can't teach.
Peers, alumni, and faculty — a network that outlasts the program.
Hosted atTaj · GoaFour days on the Goa coast — keynotes, labs, and the cohort in one room.
☼ Goa · Feb 2027Learn how AI decisions get made — from the founders making them.
One week, one real company problem — ship a working proof of concept.
… and a rotating roster of founders, operators and AI leaders across every cohort.
The on-campus immersion brings the cohort to IIT Roorkee — heritage architecture, world-class faculty, and the kind of corridor conversations that turn classmates into co-founders.

KotagiIIT DharwadLinkedInProf. Priyam ChakrabortyIIT KharagpurLinkedInShaunak ChadhaGoogle8+ yrs experienceLinkedInSarat KumarGoogle20+ yrs experienceLinkedInGet oriented in modern AI, then build and run production-quality software independently — by hand and with AI coding agents.
How AI, ML, GenAI and agents fit together — plus a grounded map of what today's systems can and can't do.
Core language, functions, data structures, JSON and Git/GitHub — write correct, structured, version-controlled code.
Build JSON-serving backends with FastAPI & Pydantic, consume REST APIs, and manage secrets safely.
Scaffold, refactor and debug real software with Cursor, Claude Code and Copilot — reviewing every diff before merge.
Understand how models learn from data — enough to build with them, evaluate them, and judge when they are the wrong tool.
Query with SQL, clean and reshape messy data with pandas, and profile it with EDA and clear visualizations.
Understand how models learn, evaluate them honestly, and judge when ML is the wrong tool.
Engineer reliable applications on top of large language models and ground them in your own data.
Engineer reliable LLM apps — structured outputs, tool use — and ship them with Streamlit or Gradio.
Ground models in your own data: embeddings, vector search and a full RAG pipeline with cited answers.
Build, evaluate and deploy autonomous agents as production-grade systems — and prove it with a capstone.
Build agents that plan, use tools and recover — orchestrated in LangGraph and wired to the world with MCP.
Measure LLMs with evals, trace them with observability, and handle hallucinations, injection and real-world risk.
Containerize with Docker, deploy behind FastAPI to a public URL, and ship a complete agentic capstone.
Ship a deployed agent that makes a real decision on every ticket. Wire retrieval over a live knowledge base, add tool-calling for order lookups, and gate risky actions with a human — then deploy it behind an API. The same pattern production teams run today.
