Got questions?

What roles does this cover?
Five career tracks: AI/ML Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, GenAI/LLM Engineer, and MLOps Engineer. Each track includes role-specific topics, difficulty ratings, and recommended study resources.
Is this free?
Yes — 100% free. All topic guides, checklists, and study resources are open and accessible without sign-up. This is part of the PathtoAI Academy's commitment to free, structured education.
When will practice questions be added?
Soon. We're taking a structure-first approach — building comprehensive topic guides and outlines before adding curated interview questions with model answers. Follow the Roadmap modules to build foundational knowledge in the meantime.
How is this different from LeetCode?
LeetCode focuses on generic data structures and algorithms. Our interview prep is specifically designed for AI/ML roles — covering ML system design, statistics, model evaluation, RAG architecture, MLOps, and other domain-specific topics that appear in real AI engineering interviews.
Do I need to complete the Roadmap first?
Recommended but not required. The Roadmap's 8 phases build the foundational knowledge that interview prep helps you articulate. If you already have the knowledge, you can jump straight into the relevant track.
Can I track my preparation progress?
Yes. Each track page includes a self-assessment checklist stored in your browser's local storage. Check off topics as you study them to see your readiness at a glance — progress persists across sessions.

Your next AI interview is closer than you think.
