Assessment Templates

Three assessment touchpoints per cohort: Day 1 baseline, Mid-Term (Day 15), and Capstone Final (Day 30). Trainers use these to track individual progress and identify at-risk trainees early.

📋 Day 1 — Baseline Diagnostic (All Tracks)

Baseline Skills Diagnostic

10 questions · 20 minutes · Not graded — used to cluster trainees and customise trainer pacing

Q1 — ALL TRACKS

How would you describe your current comfort level with AI tools in your daily work?

🔘 Multiple Choice: Never used / Used occasionally / Use regularly / Build with AI tools

Q2 — DIGITAL MARKETING

You've set up a Meta Ads campaign. Your CPL is ₹800 against a target of ₹300. What is your first diagnostic step?

📝 Short Answer (2–3 sentences)

Target: Check audience overlap, ad creative fatigue, and funnel dropoff at landing page. Identifies if trainee understands TOFU/MOFU split.

Q3 — AGENTIC AI

What is the difference between a LangChain chain and a LangGraph StateGraph? (Answer what you know — "I don't know yet" is a valid answer)

📝 Short Answer

Baseline check: chain = linear/loop ReAct; graph = stateful cycles with persistence. Most Day 1 trainees won't know — that's fine.

Q4 — IOT & ROBOTICS

An ESP32 is connected to a DHT22 sensor but returns NaN temperature values. What are your first 3 debugging steps?

📝 Short Answer

Check pull-up resistor on data pin, verify power supply (3.3V), confirm correct GPIO pin in code. Hardware debugging baseline.

Q5 — FDE TRAINER

A client says their Python API is "too slow." What information do you need before writing a single line of code?

📝 Short Answer

Profile with cProfiler/APM, identify whether bottleneck is I/O (async fix) or CPU (caching/optimisation). Consulting mindset baseline.

📋 Day 15 — Mid-Term Assessment (Track-Specific)

AI Digital Marketing — Mid-Term

45 mins · 50 points · Graded · Minimum pass: 35/50

Q1 — PRACTICAL (20 pts)

🛠️ Hands-On Lab Task

Q2 — ANALYSIS (15 pts)

Given this GA4 data: 10,000 sessions, 2% conversion rate, ₹40,000 average order value, ₹50,000 ad spend — calculate ROAS and identify which UTM source is most cost-effective from the provided data table.

📊 Data Analysis Task

Q3 — STRATEGY (15 pts)

A GCC in Madhapur wants to recruit 30 mid-level data analysts. Write a 200-word LinkedIn ad strategy and identify the top 3 targeting parameters you would use in LinkedIn Campaign Manager.

📝 Written Strategy

Agentic AI — Mid-Term

60 mins · 50 points · Graded · Minimum pass: 35/50

Q1 — CODE (25 pts)

💻 Live Coding Task

Q2 — CONCEPT (15 pts)

Explain the difference between vector similarity search (cosine) and keyword BM25 search. When would you use a hybrid retrieval strategy in a RAG pipeline? Give a pharma GCC example.

📝 Concept + Application

Q3 — DEBUG (10 pts)

A CrewAI crew is looping indefinitely. The manager agent keeps delegating to the researcher without getting an output. List 3 diagnostic steps and the most likely root cause.

🐛 Debug Scenario

IoT

IoT & Robotics — Mid-Term

60 mins · 50 points · Graded · Minimum pass: 35/50

Q1 — HARDWARE (25 pts)

Using your kit: Wire the DHT22 to ESP32, write firmware that reads temperature every 5 seconds, publishes to MQTT broker on topic "lab/temp", and lights an LED if temperature exceeds 30°C. Demo must run live for 3 minutes continuously.

🔧 Live Hardware Task

Q2 — PROTOCOL (15 pts)

Explain the difference between MQTT QoS 0, 1, and 2. For an industrial safety system monitoring gas leaks, which QoS level would you use and why? What is the trade-off?

📝 Protocol Knowledge

Q3 — FAULT FINDING (10 pts)

Your ESP32 MQTT client connects to the broker successfully but no messages appear on the subscriber side. The broker logs show the client is publishing. List 3 causes and how to verify each.

🐛 Fault Diagnosis

FDE

FDE Trainer — Mid-Term

60 mins · 50 points · Graded · Minimum pass: 35/50

Q1 — BUILD (25 pts)

Build a FastAPI endpoint POST /classify that accepts a JSON body with a "text" field, calls the OpenAI API with a structured output Pydantic model (category: str, urgency: Literal["low","medium","high"], confidence: float), and returns the result. Include basic API key authentication via header. Submit working code + Postman screenshot.

💻 Build Task

Q2 — ARCHITECTURE (15 pts)

A GCC client wants to reduce their LLM API costs by 60%. They currently make 50,000 API calls/day, 40% of which are near-identical. Design a caching layer using Redis. Draw the architecture and explain the cache key strategy.

📐 Architecture Design

Q3 — CLIENT SCENARIO (10 pts)

A client says: "We need this feature by Monday — it's only a small change." You know it requires a database migration that could break production. How do you handle this conversation?
