About This Course

Building a RAG-Powered Q&A Bot is a project-driven course that ends with a working system: ask a question in natural language and get an answer grounded in your own documents, with sources. You will learn the full retrieval-augmented-generation pipeline β€” cleaning and chunking documents, generating embeddings, storing them in a vector database, retrieving the most relevant context, and prompting an LLM to answer from it. Along the way you will tackle the details that decide quality: chunk size, retrieval strategy, prompt design and guarding against hallucination. You leave with a deployable bot and the understanding to adapt it. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.

🎯 Program Aim

This project course builds a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) question-answering bot end to end: chunking, embeddings, a vector store, retrieval and an LLM answer layer.

πŸ“‹ Course Objectives

1. Chunk and embed documents for semantic retrieval.
2. Store and query vectors in a vector database.
3. Assemble a retrieval-augmented-generation pipeline.
4. Design prompts that ground answers and reduce hallucination.
5. Evaluate and tune retrieval and answer quality.

πŸ‘₯ Who Should Enroll?

β€’ Developers building LLM and generative-AI applications
β€’ Data scientists adding retrieval to language models
β€’ Product teams prototyping internal knowledge assistants
β€’ Engineers exploring practical GenAI

πŸš€ Key Learning Outcomes

β€’ A working RAG Q&A bot over your own document set.
β€’ A reusable retrieval-augmented-generation pipeline.
β€’ The skills to build grounded LLM applications.
β€’ A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
