Salaries are what employers in India report paying, not what Square 1 students earn: the first cohorts have not graduated.

Live bootcamps that fit a working week in India

Twelve weeks each, weekday evenings and weekend days, ten spots per cohort. Reserving a spot is free; nothing is charged until you confirm the start date.

Four ways to learn AI in India

Each fits a different person. Before you pay for any of them, ask what you will build, who reads your code, and what the full price is.

  1. Route 1

    A degree or postgraduate programme

    Fits when you want a BTech, MTech or MSc, or you are aiming at research.

    Watch for two to four years, and the syllabus is set years ahead of the tools employers use now.

  2. Route 2

    A large online certificate programme

    Fits when you want a known brand on the certificate and a long, structured course.

    Watch for read what placement support means in writing, ask for the full price with any EMI interest, and check whether you deploy real projects.

  3. Route 3

    A global online course

    Fits when you want theory, cheaply, at your own pace.

    Watch for completion rates are low without deadlines, and nobody checks your work against what a hiring manager asks for.

  4. Route 4

    A live online bootcamp

    Fits when you are working and want a job-shaped portfolio in three months, taught live after office hours.

    Watch for square 1's bootcamps are new: the first cohorts have not graduated, so there is no placement rate yet.

Questions people in India ask

Is there an affordable AI bootcamp in India?
Square 1 AI runs 26 live AI bootcamps online from about INR 21,400, at the 4 October 2026 exchange rate. Each is twelve weeks on Zoom with one instructor, six deployed projects and a one-to-one every week, and the price is on every page with no counsellor call.
How much does an AI course cost in India?
A Square 1 live bootcamp starts at about INR 21,400 and a self-paced course at about INR 1,270. Prices are set in Australian dollars and are the same in every country, so the rupee figure moves a little with the exchange rate.
What does a machine learning engineer earn in India?
Payscale India puts the average base salary for a machine learning engineer at ₹10.2 lakh a year, in a range of ₹3.6 lakh to ₹30 lakh. A software engineer's average is ₹8.1 lakh.
Can I learn AI online in India while working full time?
Yes. Live sessions run on weekday evenings from 5:30 PM Sri Lanka and India time, with full-day sessions at weekends. The work between sessions is graded by Nova, Square 1's AI tutor, whenever you submit it. Plan for about fifteen hours a week across the twelve weeks.
Does the bootcamp offer placement?
There is no placement guarantee and no placement rate, because the first cohorts have not graduated. You leave with six deployed projects, a recorded defence of your work an employer can watch, and a hiring plan worked through with your instructor, including a two-week hiring sprint at the end.
Is Square 1 AI an Indian company?
No. Square 1 AI (Pvt) Ltd is registered in Sri Lanka and teaches online. Sri Lanka and India share a clock, so the live sessions run at the same time in both countries.
How do I pay from India?
Reserving a spot is free and takes your name, email and country. Nothing is charged until the start date is confirmed and you say yes. Payment is by card in US dollars through a Sri Lankan bank gateway, so the card needs international payments switched on, which most Indian banks let you do in their app.

Ten spots a cohort. Hold one from India.

Pick a bootcamp, reserve with your name and email, and hear the start date first. Nothing is charged until you confirm.
