The AI you get, from day one
Most courses hand you a syllabus.This one hands you an AI that knows your work.
Every Ikigai course runs on LEAP, the platform we built ourselves — five AI tools sharing one record of what you have learned. The screens below work: press the buttons.
01AI platformAI
Everything you are doing, on one screen.
Your course, your assignments, what you have mastered and what is due — visible from the first day, so you always know what comes next.
02AI co-pilotAI
You build with AI from the first week.
Live classes with the assistants the industry actually uses, open on your screen. It suggests, you decide, and the work runs.
03AI mentorAI
Stuck at eleven at night. Answered at eleven at night.
A mentor that has your syllabus, your progress and your last attempt in front of it — so the answer is about your work, not the internet's.
04AI interview practiceAI
You hear how you sound before anyone else does.
Technical, case and behavioural rounds, scored every attempt, as many times as you like. The first time you say it out loud is not in the room.
05AI internship finderAI
Matched to roles by what you built.
Your verified work and your readiness, matched against live openings — so you apply with the evidence attached, not a CV and a hope.
06Where you come outYOU
You leave with evidence, not a certificate.
Interview-ready, portfolio verified, roles matched. That is the whole climb, and every rung of it runs on one platform.

About Ikigai
An AI school built by people who ship AI.
Ikigai School of AI teaches applied AI in classrooms, designs AI-native curriculum with universities, and runs AI capability programmes inside large enterprises. The same practitioners move between all three, which is why what is taught on a Tuesday is what was deployed the week before.
IIT Kanpur
Co-certified with E&ICT Academy
An initiative of MeitY, Government of India. Every level you finish is certified on its own.
NEP 2020
AI-native university curriculum
Degree programmes designed with partner universities under the national framework.
PSU & enterprise
Delivered inside industry
The people who teach the courses run AI programmes for public-sector and corporate teams.

Admissions are open for the next batch at our learning centres.Book a free counselling call
Placement support
Taught for the job. Tested like the job.
Not a service bolted on at the end of a syllabus — it is what the syllabus is built from.
Built backwards from the job
We start from the roles a level leads to, then work back to the syllabus.
You finish with deployed work
Every level ends in something live — that is what an interviewer sees.
Learn inside an AI environment
You train in the setup the job expects, spoken interview rounds included.
A counsellor stays on it
Someone who knows your level, your projects and your centre.
Companies we prepare you for — the interview bar our curriculum is built against.
Skills worth building a life on.
The AI era is rewriting what a career is made of. These are the skills it is being rewritten with — every one taught in person, in a lab at a centre near you, and every one ending in a project you have built and deployed yourself.
Career tracks
Find the track that fits the job you want.
Every track runs at three levels, and each level is its own enrollable programme with its own project, certificate and exit roles. 120 to 360 hours.
Foundations
Start smaller. Sixty hours, one project.
A single level, no prerequisites and no ladder — one course, one shipped project. The place to start if the three-level tracks feel like a lot.
Real learners. Real placements.

FAQ
Questions parents and students ask us.
No honest school can promise a job, and we will not either. What we do guarantee is the work behind placement: a job-first curriculum, deployed projects you defend before a live panel, plus interview prep, portfolio reviews and introductions from a placement team that keeps working with you until you land a role. Your outcome depends on your effort, but you will never chase it alone.
Fees vary by course, level and centre, and are kept deliberately affordable for an IIT Kanpur co-certified qualification. Yes to both: no-cost and low-cost EMI options are available, and we can put you in touch with education-loan partners if you would rather finance the course that way. Book a free counselling call and we will share the exact fee for your course along with the EMI and loan options you qualify for.
For most courses, no. Digital marketing, the data and analytics foundations and the AI excellence course assume no coding at all, and start from the beginning. Some courses do expect prior coding experience — the advanced and pro levels of the development and agentic tracks build on a working knowledge of programming rather than teaching it from scratch. If you are unsure where you sit, a counsellor will help you navigate it, and you can take a short readiness test so the answer is based on what you can actually do rather than a guess.
Yes. Courses carry a co-certification from the E&ICT Academy, IIT Kanpur, an initiative supported by MeitY, Government of India, alongside the Ikigai School of AI certificate. It is a verifiable credential you can add to your resume and LinkedIn, backed by projects that prove what you can actually build. Each level is certified on its own, so you hold a credential without having to finish all three.
In person, at our learning centres in Lucknow, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Warangal and Indore, with more centres opening. Courses are taught in a lab with an instructor in the room — that is the point of them. Centre availability changes with each intake, so ask your counsellor which centre is nearest you and what is starting there.
Yes, and it is a different thing from a course. Alongside the applied courses at the centres, we help you enrol in full university degrees — BBA, BCA and MCA — taken online and conferred by partner universities. The degree is the university's, taught on the university's own syllabus; we do not teach it or add to it. A counsellor will map you to the right university, programme and intake.
Most courses are built from a textbook syllabus by people who have never shipped AI. Ours are designed and taught by practitioners who build and deploy production AI inside large public-sector and enterprise organisations, and who bring that work back into the classroom. Every course is built backwards from the job it leads to, so you finish with deployed projects and the exact skills those employers hire for, not just a certificate.
Many of our learners are working full-time. Sessions are scheduled around working hours and each level is separately enrollable, so you can take one level, apply it at work, and come back for the next. Tell your counsellor your working pattern and they will find the batch and centre that fits it.
