Becoming a Generative AI engineer in India usually means combining software fundamentals with LLM application skills: APIs, retrieval, evaluation, and deployment—not only chatting with a model.
A workable roadmap
- Python and basic data structures
- APIs, Git, and cloud basics
- Prompting and evaluation habits
- RAG systems with measurable retrieval quality
- Optional fine-tuning and agent workflows
- Deployment (containers, simple services)
What hiring managers look for
Portfolio projects that show architecture decisions, failure cases, and evaluation beats certificate screenshots. Review training projects on Vector Skill Academy projects and the Generative AI course syllabus for examples of project-based learning.
