Undergraduate and postgraduate AI programs

Student AI Programs

AI bootcamps, hackathons, semester electives, and capstone mentorship for university students. Built around the same production AI systems we ship to enterprise customers — not toy examples.

Graduating students who can use AI tools well — and graduating students who can build with AI — have become two different placement profiles. Universities increasingly need both. AI Guru runs four formats of student programs, sized to the university's calendar, budget, and academic objectives.

Four Program Formats

Most universities start with a bootcamp or hackathon as a first engagement. Semester electives and capstone mentorship are typically commissioned after a successful first cohort.

AI Bootcamp (3–5 Days)

Hands-on intensive built around real production use cases. Students work on prompt engineering, building with LLMs, no-code AI workflows, and one substantial project. Suitable for first-year through final-year students. Cohorts of 50 to 300+. Delivered onsite or virtual.

Outcome: Every student leaves with a working AI project they can demonstrate, plus a portfolio artifact suitable for placement interviews and LinkedIn.

Student AI Hackathon

24-hour or 48-hour AI hackathon for student teams. Real problem statements drawn from the university's industry partners or from AI Guru's own product roadmap. Mentored by AI Guru engineers throughout. Final pitches judged by a panel that includes Ritesh and senior AI Guru engineering leads.

Outcome: Top teams ship working prototypes. Standout individual students are sometimes invited to AI Guru's internship program.

Semester Elective

A full-semester AI elective co-delivered with university faculty. AI Guru provides curriculum, weekly content, lab assignments, and four guest lectures from senior practitioners across the semester. Final assessment includes a capstone project mentored by AI Guru.

Outcome: Students complete a full-semester AI course taught using current production tools and real engineering practice. Faculty co-teaching the course gain ongoing training as a built-in benefit.

Capstone Mentorship

For students undertaking final-year capstone or thesis projects in AI. AI Guru provides 1:1 mentorship across 8–12 weeks, problem framing support, code review, and final defence preparation. Suitable for cohorts of 20 to 60 students.

Outcome: Capstone projects scoped against real-world AI problems, with mentorship from practitioners who have built and shipped similar systems.

What Students Walk Away With

Working AI projects

Not slides, not toy notebooks. Functioning projects that students can demonstrate in placement interviews — chatbots, RAG applications, automation workflows, multi-agent systems, depending on format.

Portfolio artifacts

GitHub repositories, deployed demos, written project reports, and short demo videos. Suitable for adding to LinkedIn, resumes, and university placement portfolios.

A direct line into AI Guru

Standout students from every cohort are invited to apply to AI Guru's University Internship Program — where students from partner universities work alongside AI Guru engineers on production AI systems.

What the University Receives

Pre/Post Student AI Literacy Assessment
Aggregate measurement of student AI competence across the cohort, broken down by year, branch, or department. Suitable for IQAC and placement reporting.
Cohort Outcomes Report
What students built, what tools they used, what stuck, what didn't. Includes recommendations for the next cohort.
Top Project Showcase
A short curated list of the strongest student projects from the cohort, with brief descriptions. Useful for university marketing, accreditation, and industry partnership conversations.
Participation Certificates
For every student, verifiable online.

Why This Program, From This Team

Built on real production AI

The use cases we teach come from MillMind, Plazee, Vaja.ai, AgentGuru, and 15+ other AI products in production. Not from textbooks or curated tutorials.

Internship pipeline as outcome

Top students from partner-university cohorts are invited into AI Guru's internship program — alongside students from Marwadi, Sardar Patel, Silver Oak, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, and UIUC.

Calibrated for placements

Programs are designed against the AI skills that hiring managers in BFSI, IT services, manufacturing, and product companies actually screen for in 2026.

Faculty engagement included

Whichever student program a university chooses, the faculty teaching adjacent courses are invited to a half-day briefing on what students learned. No additional charge.
