Scope Pricing & Transparency - What You're Really Getting 2026

Scope Pricing & Transparency - What You're Really Getting 2026

Most AI institutes in Chennai do not publish a price. You submit a form, you get a call, and the number arrives after a counsellor has heard your budget. We wrote about that pattern in detail in our comparison of what six Chennai institutes advertise.

This page is the opposite of that. Here is what our courses cost, what is inside the fee, and what is not.

The prices

There is no struck-through figure above these. We would rather show you what a course costs than manufacture a discount.

What the fee includes

• Live sessions with a trainer, not recorded video with a support forum
• Session recordings, so missing one is not fatal
• Course materials — notebooks, datasets, slides — yours to keep
• Project review, with feedback on work you actually wrote
• A completion certificate
• Career support: portfolio review, interview preparation, and referrals where we have them

What it does not include

Stated plainly, because this is where unexpected costs usually appear.

• Cloud costs for your own projects. Everything in the curriculum runs on free tiers or an ordinary laptop, but if you build something ambitious afterwards, that is yours.
• Paid API credits. Course exercises use free tiers.
• External certification exams. Cloud vendor certificates are separate and optional.
• A job. We provide career support. We do not place students, and we will not claim a placement percentage we cannot evidence.

On instalments

All four courses can be paid in instalments. The total is the same either way — we do not add a financing charge, and we do not discount for paying upfront.

If the fee is the obstacle, say so when you enquire. We would rather arrange a schedule that works than lose someone who would have done well.

Why we are cheaper than most of the market

Chennai AI courses run from roughly ₹16,500 to ₹95,000. We sit at the bottom of that range, and it is fair to ask why.

Small team, no sales floor. There is no room of counsellors calling leads. That is a large cost for many institutes, and it is paid out of fees.

One location. We run from T. Nagar. We do not carry branch overheads across the city.

Short, focused courses. Five to ten weeks, aimed at a specific capability. We are not selling a nine-month programme, so we are not pricing one.

We are newer. We do not have a twenty-year brand to charge for, and we would rather compete on the teaching than pretend otherwise.

Thinking about the return honestly

You will see institutes advertise salary jumps as though they were guaranteed. We are not going to do that, because the outcome depends far more on you than on us.

What we can say is the shape of the calculation. A ₹16,000 course is roughly a fortnight's salary for many working professionals in Chennai. If it produces a capability you use at work — a workflow you automate, an analysis you can now do yourself, a project that gets you shortlisted — the payback is fast.

If you enrol and do not do the work, the return is zero. That is true of every course on the market at every price, and the honest version of ROI is that it is a function of what you put in.

When we are the wrong choice

Four cases where you should go elsewhere, and we would say the same on a call:

• You want a guaranteed placement. Institutes with two decades of Chennai hiring relationships have something here that we do not.
• You want a long immersive programme. Our courses are 5 – 10 weeks.
• You want daily in-person classes across the city. We are one place in T. Nagar.
• You want a brand name for the CV. A newer institute carries less weight in an HR screen. That is a fair thing to weigh.

What to ask us

Ask us the same questions you would ask anyone else — we published the list precisely so you could use it on us:

1. How many live contact hours?
2. Who is teaching my batch, and what have they built?
3. How many students are in it?
4. What is the final, all-in price?
5. Can I see a real project from the last batch?

If we hedge on any of those, hold it against us.
