About the programme

Course overview

Course overview

RAG looks trivial in a demo and gets hard in production, where retrieval quality, not the model, decides whether the answer is right.

The rag development programme at TechCadd Amritsar is built the way the work is actually done: you handle the data, train and break the models, then ship something that runs. Tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone are installed on your own machine in week one, not shown on a slide in week ten.

It runs across 6 weeks – 3 months with morning, evening and weekend batches, and every module closes in a reviewable artefact. By the end you hold a certificate, a portfolio, and the ability to talk through your own decisions in an interview for a rag engineer role.

Every concept is implemented before it is examinedMentors are working practitioners, not career trainersProjects are reviewed line by line, not just marked completeDoubt sessions and lab access run outside batch hours

Eligibility

Who can do this course

Who can do this course

No entrance test and no prior coding requirement — the track opens at fundamentals. What it does need is consistency across the full programme.

  • Start early01

    Students & final-year candidates

    Finish your degree with a rag development portfolio already built, instead of starting from zero after graduation.

  • Job-focused02

    Graduates chasing a first role

    A degree proves you can learn; a reviewed project proves you can build. This gives you the second one, plus interview prep aimed at rag engineer roles.

  • Weekend batches03

    Working professionals upskilling

    Layer rag development on top of the domain knowledge you already have — that combination is rarer, and better paid, than either alone.

  • No coding needed04

    Career switchers from other fields

    The track opens at intermediate level, so a non-technical background is a starting point rather than a disqualification.

  • Apply it at work05

    Business owners & managers

    Understand what rag development can and cannot do for your operation before you commission it, and brief a vendor without being sold to.

  • Raise your rate06

    Freelancers & consultants

    Add an AI service line to what you already sell, with a portfolio piece behind each offer rather than a claim on a profile page.

  • Refresh your stack07

    Faculty & corporate trainers

    Rebuild your teaching material against current tooling — Chroma and Weaviate rather than the syllabus you inherited.

The honest pitch

Why this programme is worth your year

Why this programme is worth your year

Most rag development training in this region stops at the tutorial: you follow along, the notebook runs, nothing is retained. This programme is built the other way round — every module hands you an unfinished problem and a deadline, and a mentor reviews what you did with it.

That is slower and harder than watching lectures. It is also the only version that survives an interview, because the questions there are about the decisions you made, not the code you copied.

Evidence over claims

Build AI skills employers can verify

Anyone can list LangChain on a résumé. What gets you hired is a repository a reviewer can open, a decision you can defend, and a certificate issued against work that was actually assessed.

  • 3+ portfolio projects with written review notes
  • A public repository per project, documented for a reader
  • Mock interviews with people who do the job daily
  • TechCadd industry certificate issued against assessed work
Curriculum

What you will actually build

What you will actually build

8 modules, each closing in something reviewable that goes straight into your portfolio.

Retrieval Fundamentals

Retrieval Fundamentals is where the RAG Development track gets its footing. You work the concepts in the lab first, then carry them straight into the running project rather than leaving them as isolated exercises.

Skills you build

  • Lexical vs semantic search
  • Embeddings
  • Relevance intuition

The techcadd difference

Why students choose techcadd

Why students choose techcadd

Two decades of training in Amritsar, in a format that has not changed since: small batches, real projects, mentors who still practise.

  • 01

    Practitioner-led teaching

    Your mentor writes rag development for a living. The war stories in class are theirs, and so are the shortcuts.

  • 02

    Small, fixed batches

    Batch sizes are capped so a raised hand is answered in the session it was raised in, not in a ticket queue.

  • 03

    Reviewed, not marked

    Every submission comes back annotated. The notes are the point — they are what you carry into the interview.

  • 04

    Current tooling

    We teach LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone and refresh the list each intake, because a stale stack is worse than no stack.

  • 05

    Flexible batches

    Morning, evening and weekend tracks, classroom or live online, with recordings either way for revision.

  • 06

    Support that continues

    Résumé and portfolio review, mock interviews and hiring-drive access — and it does not stop the day the course ends.

  • I joined the RAG Development batch with almost no background, and what made the difference was that retrieval fundamentals was taught by building rather than by slides. By the third week I was debugging my own code instead of copying someone else's.
    Gurpreet SinghRAG Engineer, Bengaluru · Evening batch · 2025
  • The project reviews are the real value. My technical documentation search was picked apart line by line, and those notes are exactly what I ended up talking through in the interview that got me a llm application developer offer.
    Karanveer BrarLLM Application Developer, Mohali · Weekend batch · 2026
  • Weekend batches meant I kept my job through the whole 6 weeks – 3 months. Anything I missed got re-explained without fuss, and lab access outside batch hours was never a problem.
    Jasleen GrewalSearch Engineer, Hyderabad · Morning batch · 2025
  • Python and the rest of the stack were set up on day one, so no week went into environment issues. Batches are small enough that a doubt gets answered the same day instead of piling up.
    Harman SidhuAI Engineer, Jalandhar · Evening batch · 2026
  • I had tried learning rag development on my own twice and stalled both times. A fixed batch in Amritsar, a mentor who checks your work and a deadline on every module is the only reason I finished.
    Neha BansalKnowledge Systems Consultant, Amritsar · Weekend batch · 2025
  • Placement support was not just a line on the brochure — resume and portfolio review, two mock interviews with people who do the job, and a referral into one of the hiring drives.
    Tanvir DhillonRAG Engineer, Noida · Morning batch · 2026
  • The syllabus is current. We worked in Weaviate rather than the older tooling most rag development syllabi around here still teach, and that came up directly in my first interview.
    Ritika ChopraLLM Application Developer, Amritsar · Evening batch · 2025
  • The balance of theory to lab time is about right: enough to understand why something works, then straight into building. I left with 3 projects I can demo, not just a certificate.
