GenAI Engineer Shares Hands-On One-Day Workshop Syllabus for College Students

Pranjul Rathour, a GenAI engineer and CTO at Scult India based in Kanpur, has published a structured one-day workshop syllabus designed for college students learning generative AI. The program is built for groups of 30 to 60 students with laptops and covers live Python calls to language models, PDF-based retrieval-augmented generation, and a confidence-gating system — all without introductory slide decks. Each student works on their own document throughout the day and scores their own system using ten self-written questions with known answers. The workshop concludes with every participant sharing a working demo link and a performance score rather than a certificate. A follow-up remote office hour is held two weeks later, and shorter half-day and 90-minute versions of the syllabus are also available.
