Short answer
Yes — you can start an applied AI course after 12th or while you are in college, and it does not require an engineering stream. Applied generative AI is a skill layer that sits on top of whatever you are studying: it makes research, assignments, presentations, design work and projects faster and better. Because live AI courses in India run online in the evening, students in any city can attend alongside classes. The practical order is generative AI fluency first, then automation and AI-powered systems once you are comfortable producing real output.

Why students benefit early
AI capability compounds. A student who can research, structure, write, design and automate with AI enters the workforce doing things that currently take teams.
- Research and literature synthesis for projects and papers
- Assignments, presentations and documentation produced faster and cleaner
- Prototyping ideas and small tools without deep coding
- A visible portfolio of AI-built work before graduation
Does your stream matter?
No. Commerce, arts, science, engineering, design and management students all join applied AI programs. The GenAI Foundation Program requires no coding and no engineering background.
Fitting it around college
Programs are live, mentor-led and online, so there is no relocation and no travel. Students across India join the same session.
Start here
For students, the GenAI Foundation Program is the right entry point: 30 live sessions, 12+ AI tools, no-coding practical application. The AI & Automation Program suits students who already use AI daily and want to build systems.
