Artificial Intelligence (AI) Course in Kolkata

Q: Does this AI course in Kolkata include placement support?

Yes. This is an AI course in Kolkata with placement support included at no extra cost — resume building, mock interviews, and direct referrals to companies actively hiring AI talent in Kolkata. It is backed by our 100% money-back job guarantee, and 85% of students who complete the course are placed within 3 months — a complete artificial intelligence course in Kolkata with placement support.

Q: What is the duration and fee of the AI course in Kolkata?

The course runs roughly 20 weeks part-time (about 10 focused hours a week) across five phases, ending in a capstone and interview prep. Short professional AI courses in Kolkata range from ₹35,000 at budget institutes to ₹1.5 lakh-plus at premium online bootcamps. We sit deliberately in the middle and share the exact current figure plus EMI options on a no-obligation call.

Q: Are there enough AI jobs in Kolkata, or do I need to relocate?

Local AI hiring in Kolkata is real but thinner than in Bangalore or Hyderabad — the genuine employers cluster around Salt Lake Sector V, New Town, and the GCCs that have expanded there. The bigger opportunity is remote: AI companies routinely hire on portfolio and interview rather than location, so a Kolkata-based engineer can take a metro- or globally-paid remote role without relocating. That remote unlock is exactly what the course is built to prepare you for.

Q: Do I need a coding or maths background to join?

You don't need to arrive an expert, but you need willingness to engage with both. We start Python from a practical base and rebuild the school-level maths (linear algebra, probability, statistics) attached to the code that uses it the same week. What won't work is refusing the maths entirely — AI interviews test understanding, not just library calls.

Q: Is the course offline in Kolkata or online?

It's live and online, taught in batches of ten, with sessions recorded for revision. We deliberately don't run a crowded Park Street or Salt Lake classroom — small live online batches are simply better learning, with no commute eating your study hours. The Kolkata focus shows up in the career coaching: we know the local Salt Lake and New Town employers, and we prepare you for the remote market that matters most for this city.

Q: Do you guarantee placement?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We provide 12 months of genuine placement support — portfolio review, mock interviews tuned to AI loops, referrals, and resume work for both local and remote roles. A guarantee with no strings is marketing; one with strings (attend every class, clear internal tests, apply to a quota) is just terms designed to be unmeetable. We promise the support we actually control.

Q: What's the difference between AI, data science, and data engineering?

Related fields, different day jobs. AI is about constructing and training models — the maths, classical algorithms, deep learning, and the newer LLM layer. Data science tilts toward analysis, statistics, and drawing business conclusions. Data engineering builds the plumbing that feeds every model and dashboard. Choose this course if you want to build models; if your pull is toward moving and structuring data at scale, our data engineering course in Kolkata fits better.

Q: Will I learn generative AI and LLMs, or just older ML?

Both, in the right order. You can't use transformers and LLMs well without understanding the ML underneath, so we build up to modern AI rather than starting there. Phase 4 covers transformers, embeddings, RAG, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Agentic AI — exactly the modern layer many older Kolkata course pages skip or tack on at the end.

Q: Are EMI or installment options available for the AI course?

Yes. The course fee is ₹35,000 and can be paid in easy installments — the exact EMI plan is shared on the counselling call before you commit. There is no separate placement fee and no hidden charges: the published fee covers the full live curriculum, all projects, and placement support.

Q: Is there a free demo class before enrolling?

Yes. Every learner in Kolkata can attend a free live demo class before paying anything. You meet the trainer, experience the actual teaching style, ask questions about your background, and only then decide. We recommend comparing 2–3 institutes' demo classes before choosing any AI course.

Q: What happens if I miss a live class?

Every session is recorded, so you get the recording of any class you miss, and because batches are capped at 10 students, the trainer can catch you up in the next doubt-clearing session. Working professionals in Kolkata routinely manage the course alongside demanding jobs this way.

Q: Do I need a powerful laptop for the AI course?

No. Any laptop with 8 GB RAM is enough. All heavy model training runs on cloud notebooks and cloud GPUs (Google Colab / AWS), which is also how real AI teams work — so you learn the industry-standard workflow instead of depending on local hardware.

Q: Will I get a certificate after completing this AI course in Kolkata?

Yes — you receive a course completion certificate from Shifttotech Academy. More importantly, you finish with a portfolio of deployed AI projects on GitHub. In interviews at companies in Kolkata, that portfolio consistently carries more weight than any certificate, which is why the course is built around it.

Q: What projects will I build during the AI course?

You build four real, deployed projects: an end-to-end machine learning model, an NLP/LLM application with a RAG pipeline, a generative AI application deployed to the cloud, and a capstone of your choice. Each one goes on your GitHub profile so interviewers in Kolkata can open and inspect your actual work.

Q: Can final-year students and recent graduates in Kolkata join?

Yes. Final-year students and fresh graduates are a large share of every batch. The course starts with Python from scratch, so there is no prerequisite gap, and the project portfolio you build solves the classic fresher problem in Kolkata — having a degree but no proof of hands-on AI work.

Q: Can I switch to AI from a non-IT role like testing, support, or sales?

Yes — career switchers from testing, technical support, BPO, sales, and even non-engineering backgrounds complete this course successfully. The curriculum assumes zero prior AI knowledge, builds Python first, and the placement team positions your previous domain experience (finance, operations, customer data) as an asset for AI roles in Kolkata, not a liability.

Q: How many students are in each batch — will I get individual attention?

Batches are capped at 10 students. That means the trainer knows your progress personally, reviews your code, and adapts interview preparation to your background — the single biggest practical difference from 100-student webinar-style courses, where individual doubt-solving is impossible.

Q: How does interview preparation work for Kolkata companies?

In the final weeks you get mock technical interviews (ML fundamentals, coding, and project deep-dives), resume and LinkedIn rebuilding, and guidance targeted at the companies actually hiring AI talent in Kolkata. You practise explaining your own deployed projects — the exact conversation that decides real AI interviews.
