Quick View: A Bengaluru-based AI startup is offering up to ₹1 crore in annual salary — no college degree required. But landing the role isn’t as simple as it sounds. Here's what it really takes.
Is This the End of Degrees in India’s AI Job Market?
In a bold move shaking up the Indian tech hiring scene, NeuroSpark AI Labs, a fast-rising Bengaluru startup, has announced that it’s hiring AI engineers — no formal degree needed. That’s right: no IIT, no BTech, no CS degree. Just proof that you can build.
They’re offering ₹70 lakh to ₹1.2 crore per annum to candidates who can demonstrate serious skills in Python, GenAI, LLMs, and AI infrastructure work. What matters more than certificates? Your GitHub profile, Kaggle rank, or actual projects that show you’ve done the work.
Who Can Apply for These ₹1 Crore Roles?
According to the company’s hiring leads, they’re looking for:
- Self-taught AI coders with real-world project experience
- Candidates skilled in prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning, and agent orchestration
- People with open-source contributions, public notebooks, or apps to showcase
- Problem solvers — not degree holders
Basically, if your portfolio speaks louder than your résumé, you’re in the game.
GitHub Is the New CV. Are You Ready?
Recruiters are ditching traditional filters and going straight to what you’ve built. Even third-year college dropouts are being considered — as long as they have something tangible to show.
As AI hiring becomes more skills-first, the question isn’t where you studied — it’s what you’ve shipped.
Why This Matters: The Rise of Skill-First Hiring in India
NeuroSpark is part of a growing trend: Indian startups are shifting toward a Silicon Valley-style talent model, where impact matters more than pedigree.
In a country where lakhs still chase degrees, this shift could redefine how India builds its AI workforce.
