WHY THIS PROGRAMME

The industry stopped hiring only degree holders. It hires skilled professionals.

The traditional way

“Study for four years. Then go look for experience.”

You graduate with a marksheet and no track record — competing with everyone else holding the same marksheet. That gap is widest if you're at a college whose placement cell can't reach product companies at all.

The PrepBytes way

“Build from week one. Ship something after every module.”

You graduate with 20+ public artifacts, a full-time industry internship, and an enterprise system you deployed and defended.

The idea is simple: the best way to learn AI is to build with it — from your very first week.

Students work inside a functioning product environment from month one — desks, standups, mentors and shipping targets — taught exclusively by industry practitioners.

THE JOURNEY

Four years, three stages, eight modules

165 credits · 8 modules · one shipped product per module

STAGE 1Modules 1–2

Foundations

Engineering, mathematics, programming depth and the data layer — the fundamentals every AI system stands on.

M1Foundations of Computing & Mathematical Thinking20 cr
M2Programming Depth & the Data Layer21 cr
YOU LEAVE THIS STAGE AS

A capable programmer who ships full-stack, database-backed apps and reasons about data statistically.

STAGE 1Modules 1–2

Foundations

Engineering, mathematics, programming depth and the data layer — the fundamentals every AI system stands on.

M1Foundations of Computing & Mathematical Thinking20 cr
M2Programming Depth & the Data Layer21 cr
YOU LEAVE THIS STAGE AS

A capable programmer who ships full-stack, database-backed apps and reasons about data statistically.

Every module runs 16 teaching weeks — 3–4 concurrent theory spines, 2 immersive blocks and one Builder Studio, so you never carry more than ~5 graded threads at once.

WHAT YOU SHIP

Eight milestones that stack into an enterprise system

1
Python CLI data product
NumPy analytics + recorded demo
2
Full-stack CRUD app
PostgreSQL + a defended A/B test
3
End-to-end ML pipeline
Streamlit dashboard + model card
4
Kafka → Spark pipeline
Dockerised PyTorch model on cloud
5
Domain AI product
monitored FastAPI service + design doc
6
Production RAG / agentic system
evals, guardrails, tracing, cost dashboard
7
Internship deliverable
shipped in real production + tech talk
8
Enterprise Capstone
deployed, monitored, judged by an external jury

THE OUTCOME THAT MATTERS

You start earning before you graduate

Skills stack fast enough that real, paid work begins in year one — then escalates every module until a pre-placement offer is on the table.

Industry mentors & guides

6–8 core industry experts per campus — AI/ML (ex-FAANG or AI-startup CTO level), plus full-stack, systems/DevOps and data engineering
One industry mentor per sprint team; fortnightly 1:1s with every student
Guest masterclasses by founders, researchers and senior engineers deliver the just-in-time theory
Quarterly CTO fireside chats and hackathons
// infrastructure

The technical stack you build on

GPU compute: cloud A100 / H100 access for every sprint team
PrepBytes GitHub organisation with CI/CD on every student project
LMS provisioned at enrolment — the Day-0 experience
15–20 partner-company MoUs before Batch 1: a few Tier-1 plus 10–15 startups

You won't just be taught by the industry — you'll be known by it before you graduate.

AND YES — A DEGREE

You also graduate with an IIT BS degree

You do the building with us. The academic degree runs alongside — a BS awarded by an IIT through its official online programme, with no JEE Advanced rank required.

01

A full IIT BS degree

Awarded by the IIT itself, with IIT alumni status. Not a certificate of participation.

02

No JEE Advanced needed

Entry is through the IIT's own qualifier: a different door into the same institute.

03

Self-paced and online

The degree coursework runs online, around your build schedule.

04

At par with the on-campus route

The institute awards the same degree, on the same academic standards.

The degree is awarded by the IIT, which decides admission through its own qualifier. PrepBytes guides and supports you through the pathway — we do not award the IIT degree.

Taught through the products you already use

No abstract theory. Each subject is anchored to two live industry cases — a canonical benchmark and a frontier application refreshed every cohort.

CASE STUDY 1.0 · THE CANONICAL BENCHMARK

How the classic was built — the system the whole industry learned from.

Studied, dissected and rebuilt in your own code.

CASE STUDY 2.0 · THE FRONTIER

What's being built right now — refreshed for every new cohort.

This is why the syllabus can't go stale.

WORKED EXAMPLE · ONE SUBJECT

ML System Design & Recommender Systems

You don't read about recommendation engines. You take apart the ones that run your life — then build one.

Module 5 · 3 credits · ships a monitored service

1.0 NetflixNetflix

A recommender publicly valued at ~$1B/yr in retention — plus Uber's surge pricing as a live ML system.

2.0 TiktokTikTok

The real-time recommender the whole industry copies — and retrieval-augmented ranking everywhere.

130+ industry case studies are mapped across the programme — from Zerodha and Swiggy to Stripe Radar, AlphaFold, GitHub Copilot and MCP.

The total is all-inclusive. ₹18,00,000 already includes the fee payable to the IIT — there is no separate IIT payment. The seat-blocking amount is not an extra cost; it is the first part of your Semester 1 fee. Only the ₹2,500 application fee sits outside the programme fee, and it is non-refundable.

LIFE HERE

A day at PrepBytes

09:30

Morning standup

Start the day like a product team: what you shipped, what you're building, where you're stuck.

10:00

Build time

Deep, focused hours with your project team; your mentor a desk away, not an email away.

15:00

Masterclass

An industry expert drops in to teach exactly what your project needs this week.

17:30

Demo & celebrate

Show your work, get real feedback, and ship — then do it all again tomorrow, a little better.

No attendance registers. No back benches. Just a community of builders, making things that matter.

THE SPACES

Build Studio

pods, desks and whiteboards where sprint teams work

Demo Stage

where every module's work gets shown and defended

Standup Zone

the daily 09:30 ritual

Common Area

where the cohort actually forms

Residences

Jaipur campus, with PG and shared-room options

Fully residential in Jaipur, with PG and shared-room options. Pune and Bengaluru campuses coming soon. Living on campus is the immersion — peers around you, mentors a desk away.

JOINING US

Four steps to your seat

Open to all streams — no eligibility bar to apply

Admission is earned through an aptitude test and an interview — not by registration order. Your performance also decides your scholarship band.

STEP 1

Apply & take the PrepBytes Discovery Test

Submit the form with the ₹2,500 application fee and book your slot. Maths, logic and aptitude for building. Your score sets your scholarship band.

STEP 2

Interview & offer

An interaction with faculty about your interest and readiness. Successful candidates receive an offer letter stating the scholarship band earned.

STEP 3

Enrol by blocking your seat

Accept the offer and pay ₹1,50,000 to confirm your seat, adjusted against your Semester 1 fee, not an extra cost.

STEP 4

Start building

Get your LMS login and GitHub organisation invite the day you enrol, and never stop shipping.

1 Sep

One deadline nobody can move

The IIT sets its own September term application window, and it cannot be extended by us or by anyone else. Applying early protects your test slot, your scholarship band and your place in that window.

Still deciding?

Traditional college, or this?

It's a big decision, and you should make it with real answers — not a brochure. Talk to an expert, ask the hard questions, and see whether this is the right fit for you.

Applications open — seats are limited by design.

The BS degree is awarded by an IIT through its official online programme. PrepBytes guides and supports students through the pathway; we do not award the IIT degree.

₹15 LPA is an industry benchmark for AI engineering roles at product companies, not a placement guarantee. Actual offers depend on individual performance and market conditions.

Fees shown are for the 2026–30 cohort and are subject to revision for later cohorts.
