Admissions Open at SGVU for 2026-2027
This isn't college.
It's a 4-year internship
B.Tech AI With Shodh AI
Every student becomes an intern from day one.Stop studying. Start building.
B.Tech AI
with Shodh AI
Shodh AI leads AI in India. Intern with the elite team. Be ready for the 2030 AI world.
Built With
Indian Govt mandate to build AI for science. Shodh AI released the world's first Large Physics Model.
Brutally
Selective
Only 60 seats. While others code "Hello World," you fine-tune LLMs on NVIDIA Hopper GPUs.
From Shodh AI to
Aestr
Arastu Sharma is the Founder & CEO of Aestr and the Founder of Shodh AI, a deep-tech AI company building India's Sovereign "AI for Science" Foundation Model.
Through Shodh AI, Arastu leads national-scale AI systems backed by IndiaAI, with access to 1.2M+ GPU hours and partnerships with NVIDIA, Yotta, and Amazon Web Services.
He was recently invited to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was highlighted among the key contributors shaping India's AI future.
B.Tech AI with Shodh AI exists to transfer this real-world AI engineering experience to the next generation of builders.
Look at the tech industry today. AI agents are writing production-level code, debugging in seconds, and deploying servers. The "Junior IT Developer" who just types syntax on a keyboard is obsolete. By 2030, standard coding will be fully Automated.
If your college is teaching you to memorize algorithms on a whiteboard, they are preparing you for a job that vanished in 2024.
Designed for Today. Relevant for Tomorrow. Built with the Industry.
We don’t teach subjects. We
simulate a workplace.
Aestr Alpha is built like a modern Tech Ashram — structured, immersive, and designed for deep transformation. You check in, lock in, and spend six months building real systems with real accountability.
Real Industry Projects
Work on actual use-cases inspired by real companies and teams.
Mentor-Led Learning
Learn from practitioners working in Salesforce, UI/UX, AI, Data, and more.
Career-Driven Outcomes
Portfolio, LinkedIn, interviews, and communicationcovered as part of the journey.
Portfolio, LinkedIn, interviews, and communication — all covered as part of the journey.
No Classrooms.
Office hours apply. Entire cohort builds to learn how real cross-functional teams ship.
No Homework.
You push code, clear Jira tickets,and deploy to AWS/NVIDIA servers.
No Teachers.
You are mentored by Senior Engineers who havebuilt systems at Cambridge and Microsoft Research.
The Selection Protocol.
We don’t care how well you memorize. We care what you can build. You cannot just pay a fee to get into AESTR. We don’t have an admissions office, we have a Technical Draft.
Future India will not be built by crammers. It will be built by creators with dirt on their hands and code on their screens.
Show Us Your "Proof of Work"
Have a GitHub link? Wired an Arduino? Launched a website? Drop the link. Give us anything real you’ve done outside an exam hall.
The Peer Interview
Senior student‑engineers will interview you. If you don’t have the grit, logic, and hunger, the team will reject you – no matter how high your JEE score is.
Minimum Baseline
75% Boards + 75th Percentile SAT/JEE/CUET. Exceptional builders can bypass the baseline – proof of work matters more than marks.
