FAQs

Do I need a powerful GPU?

Not necessarily. Many exercises run on free cloud notebook GPUs, and the course teaches efficient approaches for limited hardware.

Which framework is used?

PyTorch is the main framework, as it is widely used in research and industry. Concepts transfer to other frameworks.

Is Deep Learning required before Generative AI?

Not for using generative AI tools or building LLM applications. It is valuable if you want to understand or fine tune the models themselves.

What is the duration and schedule of this course?

Duration, batch timings and format are shared when you enquire, because they depend on whether you choose a short-term, long-term, weekend or training format. Contact the team by phone, WhatsApp or email for current batches.

Is placement assistance available?

Learners can use AIIT Roorkee's placement assistance, which includes career counselling, CV preparation, LinkedIn development, interview preparation and mock interviews. Placement assistance is career preparation support and does not constitute a guarantee of employment or placement.
