Access to AI Academia resources
During your time with AI Academia, you will have access to various resources. Access policies may vary.
- Recordings: We guarantee access to recordings for 3 months after completing your last mandatory class (subject to the terms herein, including termination).
- Mentors: You have mentor guidance throughout your chosen program. Live session access is not perpetual and ends after the last mandatory class.
- TA Support: TA support is available throughout your AI Academia journey, even during course pauses. You can also seek help from the community in Discord/WhatsApp groups (Disclaimer: AI Academia does not guarantee responses from other learners).
- Community Groups: You retain access to AI Academia-created community groups indefinitely (unless platforms cease to exist).
- Assignments/Notes: You retain access to assignments and notes taken during the AI Academia course indefinitely.
- Career Opportunities: AI Academia learners are connected to job opportunities through community groups, the AI Academia Talent portal, and direct partnerships with companies. Help through the latter channel is not available 3 months after completing your last mandatory class. AI Academia does not guarantee placement/job/internship. See the placement policy document for details.
AI Academia may discontinue resource access for learners who have completed Programs, providing 30 days' notice to download assignments, code, and notes. AI Academia may also withdraw access if you withdraw from the course, breach the ToS, or your account is terminated or suspended.
Course Pause & Reset Feature
Learners can vary their Program pace and workload. The “Pause” feature allows learners in new AI Academia Programs to pause their program. During the pause, access to previous recordings and doubt resolution remains. No new lectures are added. The “Reset” feature allows learners to redo lectures, going back in 30-day increments. Each learner receives 3 complimentary credits for "Pause" and "Reset." One credit allows a pause/reset for up to 30 days. After 90 days from the first class, resetting requires 2 credits. Additional credits are chargeable at an amount determined by AI Academia (currently INR 1,500 per credit), subject to change. AI Academia reserves the right to revise this amount.
Program Change
AI Academia allows one Program Change within 30 days of the first class (“Onboarding” date). This allows migration between AI Academia Programs (e.g., Python to Java). Changes within 10 days of onboarding are free. After 10 days, changes incur a fee: the higher of Delta Fees (difference between program fees) or INR 10,000. No refunds are permitted after a Program Change.
