Four ways to learn AI in Nepal
Each fits a different person. Before you commit to any of them, ask what you will build and who reads your code.
- Route 1
A bachelor's degree in AI or computing
Fits when You are starting out after +2 and want a BSc, BIT or B.Tech in AI.
Watch for Three to four years, and the syllabus is set years ahead of the tools employers use now.
- Route 2
An IT training institute course
Fits when You learn best in a classroom in Kathmandu or Lalitpur, and a certificate matters to you.
Watch for Ask whether you deploy real projects or mostly follow along, and who reads your code.
- 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 or client asks for.
- Route 4
A live online bootcamp
Fits when You are working or freelancing and want a job-shaped portfolio in three months, taught live after office hours.
Watch for Square1 Ai's bootcamps are new: the first cohorts have not graduated, so there is no placement rate yet.
