Forward Deployed Engineer
Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) Course
Updated · Dr Krish Bharggav
Three months on the client-facing half of AI work: scope a client's problem, build with an LLM, RAG and an agent, test it, deploy it and hand it over. It suits someone who already writes Python. Registration is ₹75,000. A job is not guaranteed.

Registration of ₹75,000 covers the course. It is not a promise of a job. Pay after placement is three months of the CTC on the offer you accept, charged in EMIs only after you accept that offer. The fee is written out on Pay after placement.
The course
What this course is
A Forward Deployed Engineer works inside a customer's business and makes AI work on that customer's data. This course teaches that job in three months. The Whitefield classroom is FDE in Bangalore. Live online from any city is FDE in India.
It is not a first course in code. It assumes you can already write a short Python program. If you cannot, the Agentic AI course starts at Python and runs six months.
FDE is a job title, not a level. An IT-services AI team and a global AI company can both use it and pay very differently. The course teaches the work. It does not promise the title or the pay.
Syllabus
Syllabus by month
Only the modules named by Dr Krish Bharggav are listed. A topic that is not in this table is not part of the course.
- Month 1 — Python, APIs and the client's data. An FDE starts inside someone else's systems. You write Python that calls APIs, reads the messy data a client hands over, and runs the same way twice. You also practise the first client meeting: what is the problem, who owns it, and what would count as done.
- Month 2 — LLMs, RAG, agents and evaluation. You build the AI part: calling a large language model, grounding its answers in the client's documents with retrieval-augmented generation, and an agent that takes more than one step. Then you test it. An answer you cannot measure is not ready for a client.
- Month 3 — Deploy, hand over, and the AI interview. You ship one end-to-end project the way an FDE would: scoped, deployed, demoed and handed over with notes someone else can run. The month closes with the free AI interview. The project is work you can walk through because you built it. It is not placed on a CV as employment.
Placement
How placement works, and where it stops
The placement rule is the same as every BrowseJobs course. The interview comes before a seat you pay for.
The next step on the FDE course is the free AI interview, not a seat you pay for first. The clear mark is 75%. Score 75% or above and your CV goes to 3,000 HR recruiters. On BrowseJobs internal data, that score comes with an almost 60% higher chance of an interview call. Below 75%, you get a free counselling roadmap rather than a profile sent out in hope.
A person always releases the offer letter. Three months of class does not hire you. Nobody can guarantee employment. The market decides, and so does your performance. There is no fixed salary.

Fit
Who it is for
Take it if you write code today and want to be the engineer the client talks to: a software, data, DevOps or cloud engineer, a support or solutions engineer, or a strong fresher who has already built something in Python.
Do not take it if you have never written a program. Do not take it if you need a guarantee of a job or a salary. We will not write one.
The fee
Why FDE is priced on its own
The other BrowseJobs courses run six months and register at ₹30,000. FDE runs three months, assumes you can code, and is taught at a more advanced level. Registration is ₹75,000.
Here, ₹75,000 covers the course. Pay after placement is three months of the CTC on the offer you accept, charged in EMIs after that acceptance. A slogan that says the course is free until you are hired is not this model.

Questions
Asked before you book.
What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?
A Forward Deployed Engineer, or FDE, is a software engineer who works inside a customer's business to build, deploy and fix AI systems on that customer's real data. It mixes three jobs: engineer, consultant, and the person who tells the product team what broke. Palantir made the title common. AI and SaaS companies in Bengaluru now hire for it.
What is the best Forward Deployed Engineer course?
There is no published ranking, so there is no number one to name. This course suits someone who already writes Python and wants the client-facing half of AI work. It is three months. Registration is ₹75,000, then pay after placement. In Bangalore the class is also in the Whitefield classroom.
Who should take the FDE course?
Someone who can already write a short Python program: a software, data, DevOps or support engineer, or a strong fresher. If you have never written code, start with the Agentic AI course. It begins at Python and runs six months. The written Career Analysis Report can say FDE is the wrong course for you.
How is FDE different from the Agentic AI course?
Agentic AI is six months and starts from Python. FDE is three months and assumes you can code. It adds what happens at a client: scoping the problem, testing the AI, deploying it, and handing it over. Pick Agentic AI to learn to build. Pick FDE to learn to deliver.
Is there an official FDE certification?
No. No accreditation body publishes one, and FDE job posts we have read do not ask for one. Employers look at what you deployed and how you explain it. You get a BrowseJobs completion certificate. The project you can walk through matters more.
What is the fee for the Forward Deployed Engineer course?
Registration is ₹75,000 and it covers the three-month course. Pay after placement is three months of the CTC on the offer you accept, charged in EMIs only after you accept. If you never accept an offer, that second fee is not charged. The other BrowseJobs courses register at ₹30,000. FDE is shorter and more advanced, so it is priced on its own.
Is there placement support for the FDE course?
Yes, as a process, not as a promise of a job. Take the free AI interview. A score of 75% or above sends your CV to 3,000 HR recruiters and, on BrowseJobs internal data, comes with an almost 60% higher chance of an interview call. Below 75% you get a free counselling roadmap. A person always releases the offer letter. Nobody can guarantee employment.
