RAG Development Course in Mohali

Build Production-Grade
Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems

Go beyond prompt engineering. Learn to design real RAG pipelines — chunking, embeddings, vector search, re-ranking, and grounded generation — so your AI applications answer from real, private, and up-to-date data instead of guessing.

Everything You Need to Engineer Retrieval-Augmented Systems

Data Ingestion & Chunking Strategies

Learn to parse PDFs, docs, HTML, and APIs into clean text, then split it using fixed-size, semantic, and recursive chunking strategies that preserve meaning instead of breaking it mid-sentence.

Higher retrieval precision Fewer broken contexts Format-aware parsing
"Chunking is where most RAG systems quietly fail — we teach it as a first-class skill, not an afterthought."
Raw DocumentsPDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, APIs
Semantic ChunkingRecursive splitters with overlap control
Metadata TaggingSource, section & timestamp enrichment

Embeddings & Vector Search Fundamentals

Convert text into dense vector representations, understand distance metrics, and index them in production vector databases for millisecond semantic search at scale.

Cosine vs. dot-product search Index tuning (HNSW, IVF) Embedding model selection
"Understanding how embeddings actually cluster meaning is what separates a working retriever from a guessing one."
Text ChunksPassed to an embedding model
Dense Vectors1536-dim embeddings generated
Vector IndexStored in Pinecone / ChromaDB / FAISS

Retrieval Orchestration with LangChain & LlamaIndex

Build retrieval chains that combine hybrid search (keyword + vector), metadata filters, and re-ranking models to surface the most relevant context for every query.

Hybrid search pipelines Cross-encoder re-ranking Multi-hop retrieval
"Retrieval is the engine of RAG — get this stage right and generation quality follows naturally."
QueryRewritten & expanded for recall
Hybrid SearchVector + keyword (BM25) fusion
Re-ranked Top-KCross-encoder scoring applied

Prompting & Grounded Generation

Design context-fusion prompts that keep the LLM grounded in retrieved evidence, cite sources, and gracefully say "I don't know" instead of hallucinating an answer.

Context window management Source citation formatting Hallucination reduction
"A grounded prompt template is the difference between an assistant users trust and one they double-check."
Context FusionRetrieved passages + system prompt
LLM GenerationGPT-4o, Claude, Llama 3, Gemini
Cited AnswerResponse with source references

Evaluation & Guardrails

Measure retrieval and answer quality with faithfulness, relevance, and precision metrics, then set guardrails to catch hallucinations and unsafe outputs before they reach users.

RAGAS-style evaluation Faithfulness scoring Automated regression tests
"If you can't measure a RAG pipeline, you can't trust it in production — evaluation is built in from day one."
Faithfulness CheckAnswer vs. retrieved evidence
GuardrailsToxicity, PII & scope filters
Quality DashboardTracked across every release

Deployment, Scaling & Monitoring

Package RAG pipelines behind fast APIs, cache embeddings and results, and monitor latency, cost, and answer quality once real users start querying the system.

Low-latency API design Cost & token monitoring Streaming responses
"A RAG demo is easy. A RAG system that stays fast and accurate at scale is the actual skill employers pay for."
FastAPI ServiceContainerized retrieval + generation

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is covered in this RAG Development course?

You will learn the full RAG pipeline: document ingestion and chunking, embeddings and vector databases, retrieval orchestration with LangChain/LlamaIndex, advanced retrieval (re-ranking, multi-hop), evaluation and guardrails, and production deployment.

Do I need prior experience with LLMs or vector databases?

Basic Python is helpful but not required. The first module covers LLM and prompting foundations before any retrieval or vector database concepts are introduced.

How long does the course take and what batch options are available?

The program typically runs 3 to 5 months, with weekday, weekend and evening batches so working professionals and students can both attend comfortably.

How is this different from the Generative AI or Prompt Engineering courses at Techcadd?

This course goes deep on one specific skill: grounding LLMs in real, private data through retrieval. Prompt Engineering focuses on directing a model well, and Generative AI covers the broader GenAI application landscape — RAG Development is for engineers who want to specialize in retrieval and vector search.

Which vector databases and frameworks will I actually use?

You will get hands-on lab time with Pinecone, ChromaDB, FAISS, and Weaviate for vector storage, and LangChain and LlamaIndex for retrieval orchestration, alongside OpenAI, Claude, and Hugging Face models for generation.

Will I build a real RAG application, or is this mostly theory?

The program is lab-driven. Every module ends with a working pipeline you build and debug, culminating in a deployed, monitored capstone RAG API you'll present as your portfolio project.

Is job placement assistance included?

Yes. Techcadd provides 100% placement assistance, including resume building, mock interviews, and direct connections with hiring partners across Mohali and Chandigarh.

What certificate do I receive after completing the course?

You receive an industry-recognized Techcadd RAG Development Certificate, validating your practical ability to design, evaluate and deploy retrieval-augmented generation systems.

What job roles can I target after this course?

Graduates typically move into roles such as RAG Engineer, AI/LLM Application Developer, AI Engineer, or Machine Learning Engineer focused on retrieval and search.

Will I learn how to reduce hallucination and evaluate answer quality?

Yes. The evaluation and guardrails module covers faithfulness and relevance scoring, RAGAS-style evaluation frameworks, and guardrail design — this isn't an afterthought, it's a full module before deployment.

Is there support for beginners with limited coding background?

Yes. The foundations module covers the Python and LLM API basics you need before retrieval-specific content begins, and mentors are available throughout for one-on-one doubt-clearing.

How do I get pricing and the detailed syllabus?

Fees, the detailed module-wise syllabus and current batch schedules are shared during a free counselling session — book a free demo class to get the full breakdown.
