Document Q&A Bot over PDFs
Students build a basic RAG pipeline that chunks and embeds a set of PDFs, then answers questions by retrieving relevant passages, introducing the core retrieval-then-generate pattern. By the end, students walk away with a working, documented build that clearly demonstrates embeddings and vector search to recruiters and interviewers.
- PDF Chunking
- Embedding & Indexing
- Retrieval-Based Answers
- Source Highlighting
Company Knowledge Base Chatbot
A RAG-powered chatbot that answers employee questions from an internal wiki, teaching students to structure and clean source documents for reliable retrieval. The finished build is structured for a portfolio or GitHub profile, giving students a concrete example of wiki ingestion they can walk through in an interview.
- Wiki Ingestion
- Semantic Search
- Chat Interface
- Source Citations
Multi-Source RAG Research Assistant
Students extend a RAG pipeline to pull from multiple heterogeneous sources - PDFs, web pages, and spreadsheets - ranking and merging retrieved context before generating an answer. Students finish with a polished, presentable deliverable and a clear narrative of the decisions behind reranking logic for future employers to evaluate.
- Multi-Source Ingestion
- Reranking Logic
- Merged Context Answers
- Source Attribution
RAG Evaluation & Retrieval Quality Dashboard
A dashboard that measures retrieval precision and answer faithfulness for a RAG pipeline using automated evaluation metrics, helping students learn to systematically improve RAG quality. This mirrors how real teams scope similar work, so students leave with both the artifact and a defensible explanation of their rag evaluation choices.
- Retrieval Precision Metrics
- Faithfulness Scoring
- Evaluation Dashboard
- Improvement Log
Enterprise Support RAG System with Access Control
Students build a RAG system for customer support that respects document-level access permissions, ensuring users only retrieve answers from documents they're authorized to see - a common enterprise requirement. The project is designed to be extended afterward, giving students a natural talking point about security during placement interviews.
- Permission-Aware Retrieval
- Role-Based Document Access
- Chat Interface
- Audit Logging
Hybrid Search RAG Pipeline (Keyword + Vector)
A production-style RAG pipeline combining keyword and vector search with reranking, improving retrieval accuracy on technical documentation compared to vector-only search. By the end, students walk away with a working, documented build that clearly demonstrates hybrid search and reranking to recruiters and interviewers.
- Keyword + Vector Search
- Reranking Model
- Latency Benchmarking
- Accuracy Comparison Report
RAG Capstone: Production Knowledge Assistant Platform
A capstone RAG platform combining multi-source ingestion, hybrid search, access control, and evaluation dashboards into one production-grade knowledge assistant - a flagship project for AI/RAG engineering roles. The finished build is structured for a portfolio or GitHub profile, giving students a concrete example of multi-source ingestion they can walk through in an interview.
- Multi-Source Ingestion
- Hybrid Search & Reranking
- Access Control
- Evaluation Dashboard
- Deployed API

Still have questions?
If you cannot find the answer to your query in our FAQ database, our academic advisors are available for direct consultations.
Who should take this Retrieval-Augmented Generation course?
This course is for developers and AI practitioners who want to build applications that combine large language models with external data sources for more accurate, grounded AI responses. Many of our learners join with different starting points, so the pacing is designed to keep both newcomers and quick learners engaged throughout.
Do I need prior AI or machine learning experience?
Basic Python knowledge and familiarity with how LLMs work is recommended, since this course focuses specifically on building RAG systems rather than AI fundamentals. The early sessions are paced deliberately so no one falls behind before the core concepts click into place.
Is this course suitable if I'm new to working with LLMs?
Some prior exposure to LLMs helps, but the course explains RAG concepts clearly enough that motivated beginners with basic Python skills can follow along. Mentors are available to unblock you when concepts feel unclear, which is especially useful in the first few weeks.
Will I receive a certificate after completing this course?
Yes, a certificate is issued after completing all modules and your final RAG project, showcasing your ability to build LLM applications grounded in real data. This gives you tangible proof of skill that you can reference during technical interviews and portfolio reviews.
Is placement support included with this specialization course?
This is a focused specialization course without full placement support; pairing it with our Machine Learning & AI Engineering program gives you access to complete career assistance. This support continues even after the course ends, as long as you're actively applying and engaging with the process.
Are hands-on projects included in the course?
Yes, you'll build a working RAG application that retrieves relevant information and generates accurate responses, reflecting how RAG is used in real-world AI products. By the end, you'll have a portfolio that clearly demonstrates practical, job-ready skills rather than just certificates.
Is there an internship opportunity with this course?
No, this specialization course doesn't include a formal internship, but the RAG project you build is a strong, current addition to any AI-focused portfolio. Mentors review your work throughout the internship, giving you feedback similar to what you'd get from a manager on the job.
Can working professionals complete this course alongside their job?
Yes, the course is scheduled flexibly with recordings available, making it manageable for working professionals to build this in-demand AI specialization. We understand balancing a job and learning is demanding, so the pacing gives you room to catch up without falling behind.
Will I learn how vector databases work?
Yes, vector databases are a core part of this course, since they're essential for storing and retrieving relevant information efficiently in RAG-based applications. This reflects current industry practice, so the skills you build stay directly relevant to what employers are actually looking for.
Why is RAG important for building reliable AI applications?
RAG helps reduce hallucinations by grounding LLM responses in real, retrievable data, which is why it's become a standard approach for building trustworthy AI applications . We keep this part of the curriculum updated regularly to match how the technology is actually used in the field today.
