AI Engineering Bootcamp Online in India: Live Classes in Indian Time
The short answer
AI Engineering Live is our live online AI engineering bootcamp: 14 Saturdays from 7 November 2026, 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM IST, on RAG, LangGraph agents, MCP, evals and vLLM serving, with four projects. The fee is ₹15,000 in India or $300 elsewhere, paid through Razorpay by UPI, card or netbanking in India, and every class is recorded. If you can give two 3-hour classes every weekend and want six graded projects, codebasics' live bootcamp is the other option we checked on 4 November 2026.
AI Engineering Live: RAG, Agents and Evals in Production: 14 Saturdays from 7 November 2026, 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM IST. Fee ₹15,000 in India or $300 elsewhere. Recorded. The self-paced AI Engineering course (214 lessons) is included once the fee is paid.

What you get, beside the other live option
Our programme's facts come from its own page. The codebasics row was read on codebasics.io on 4 November 2026: the rupee price from India, the dollar price from the US.

Who it is for, and who it is not for
- Software engineers moving into AI engineering.
- ML engineers and data scientists who now ship LLM features.
- Engineers whose RAG or agent demo works on the laptop but not for real users.
- Tech leads who need to judge AI work by numbers, not by demos.
Not for
- Someone new to programming.
- Someone looking for prompt tips only, with no code.
- Anyone looking for a job guarantee or placement. There is none, and nobody can honestly promise one.
Week by week
- Classes 1 and 2, How LLM apps really work: One model call, end to end, then a build: the tool-calling loop by hand.
- Classes 3 and 4, RAG done right, part 1: Chunking, embeddings and vector search, then Hybrid search, reranking and context order.
- Classes 5 and 6, RAG done right, part 2: Measuring retrieval and answers, then a build: 2-step RAG vs agentic RAG.
- Classes 7 and 8, Agents with LangGraph: Graphs, state and control, then a build: durable agents.
- Classes 9 and 10, MCP, tools and multi-agent systems: The Model Context Protocol, then a build: when to use more than one agent.
- Classes 11 and 12, Evals you can trust: Error analysis and LLM-as-judge, then a build: an eval gate.
- Classes 13 and 14, Serving, cost, guardrails and observability: Serving models with vLLM, then Going live safely.
Where codebasics is stronger
- Two classes every weekend, six graded projects and a larger past cohort (878 engineers across cohorts 1 to 3, the page says).
Ours is one two-hour class a week, which is easier to keep up with beside a full-time job, and its fee is lower. Theirs has more class hours and more graded projects. Pick by the time you can give each weekend.
Free AI lessons to try before you join
Each one is a full lesson from the self-paced course, free with no signup.

Questions
Is there a live AI engineering bootcamp online in India?
Yes. AI Engineering Live runs on 14 Saturdays from 7 November 2026, 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM IST, online, with four projects. The fee is ₹15,000 in India or $300 elsewhere. codebasics also runs a live AI engineering bootcamp on weekends, 5 PM to 8 PM IST.
How much does an AI engineering bootcamp cost in India?
Ours is ₹15,000. On 4 November 2026, codebasics' live bootcamp was ₹42,000 until 11 November, then ₹54,000.
Is it recorded if I miss a class?
Yes. Every class is recorded, so you can catch up on the weeks you cannot join.
Can I pay by UPI?
Yes. In India the fee is paid through Razorpay by UPI, card or netbanking, in rupees. Outside India you pay in US dollars by PayPal or card.
Do I get a job guarantee or placement?
No. There is no job guarantee, placement or salary promise. The four projects are yours to show, and you get a certificate of completion.
Is there a cheaper self-paced option?
Yes. The self-paced AI Engineering course is ₹1,333 once in India or $35 elsewhere, with 214 lessons and 10 free to try. It has no live classes.
