Six gaps between learning and a job. We close every one.

Coding courses built for students and working professionals, online or on campus.

Easy explanations

Instead of: Watching playlists, then forgetting

Each concept starts as a story, then code.

Live mock interviews

How placement works

Four moves. One app. One progress.

Not a course, not a question bank, not an interview tool. All of it, in one place.

Each step feeds the next

What you learn is what you build, and every mock adds to your score.

One score, all the way

Your readiness score follows you and tells you when you're ready.

Never coded? No problem. Already code? Even better.

A story lesson looks like thisHash table · 6 min

Imagine looking up a friend's phone number. In a list you'd scan every name. A hash table jumps straight to the slot. No scanning.

Then the codePython

phone = {}
phone["Riya"] = "98xxx"
print(phone["Riya"])   # one jump

PriyaCSE 3rd year · Bhopal

I had watched three playlists on binary search and still froze in mocks. The postman story stuck in one evening, in my next mock I explained it while coding.

SnehaFinal year · Pune

The readiness score told me I wasn't ready when I felt ready. That stung. It was also right: the system design axis was 40. Two weeks later it wasn't.

AmanMechanical → SDE track

Studying 9–11 pm after site work. The lessons respect that, six minutes, one idea, then drills. No 40-minute lecture guilt.

IshitaCSE 2nd year · Indore

The free plan is actually free. I practised three mocks a week for a month before paying a rupee, and paid because the scored mock rounds were worth it.

KartikFull-stack track

The IDE runs real code. My order-tracking project from here is the one I talked about in my internship interview, not a to-do app. That mattered.

RohanPlaced after 7 mock rounds

A mock round interrupted me mid-sentence with "what does that sort cost you?" My actual campus interviewer asked nearly the same thing. I smiled.

Talk to mentor
Is CodeStory online or on campus?

Both. The online live batch runs for 2 months with evening, night or weekend slots. The campus batch runs for 6 months, full-time and in person, with 20 seats a batch.

Which courses does CodeStory offer?

DSA in Java, Python, C++ or JavaScript, then a job track: Full Stack MERN, Java Full Stack, MERN + AI or DevOps. Online it is a 2-month live batch: DSA Only for ₹6,999 or the Full Course for ₹8,999. On campus it is a 6-month full-time batch. The AI Engineer and Forward Deployed Engineer programs are launching soon.

I have never coded. Can I join?

Yes. You start at Foundations: a story lesson, six minutes, one idea, then a small drill. Your mentor tells you when you are ready to move on.

I work full-time. Will the timing work for me?

Yes. Evening batches run one focused hour, 3 to 4 days a week, and there are night and weekend batches too. Your exact slot is fixed on the onboarding call.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Your certificate has a public verification link that a recruiter can check in one click.

Do you guarantee placement?

No honest company can. Here is what we do: a scored mock round every Sunday, one readiness score, and the top 20 of every batch get the full placement drive (referrals and partner interviews until the offer) plus a 1:1 with a working engineer, free.

Which company questions do you cover?

1,200+ questions tagged by company and level, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, TCS, Infosys, Flipkart, Zomato and Paytm.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes. The free platform has 20 story lessons, the browser IDE and 3 AI mock interviews a week. No card needed.

When does the AI Engineer program start?

It is launching soon. Join the early list in the AI section and we will call you first.
