The first batch
that sat in these seats.

Eight of our alumni from campus batch 01, the first group to take the campus batch in person. Today each of them works in an MNC role.

Ask them, not us.
Blunt parts included.

Nine students from the early batches, in their own words. The founders collected every review: no incentives, criticism kept in.

Lab nights run long and the reviews are blunt. If you want gentle, this is not it. If you want to stop being scared of interviews, it works.
SahilBatch 01 · placed Placements · Aug 2026
Weekend founder sessions sound like a gimmick until a founder tears your resume apart line by line and then helps you rebuild it. Mine got shortlisted the next week.
KartikFull-stack track Bootcamp · Mar 2026
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 Placements · Jul 2026
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.
SnehaFinal year · Pune Mock interviews · Apr 2026
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.
FarhanTier-3 college · Nagpur Mock interviews · May 2026
My college has no placement cell worth the name. The spoken HR rounds fixed the thing nobody teaches: how to talk about yourself without reciting.
PriyaCSE 3rd year · Bhopal Platform · May 2026
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, first time ever.
AmanMechanical to SDE track Platform · Jun 2026
Studying 9 to 11 pm after site work. The stories respect that: six minutes, one idea, then drills. No 40-minute lecture guilt.
IshitaCSE 2nd year · Indore Platform · Jun 2026
Free plan is actually free. I did 3 mocks a week for a month before paying a rupee. Paid because the scored mock rounds are worth it, not because a timer ran out.

Questions about the campus batch.

Still not sure? A founder answers on a free call.

Talk to mentor
How long is the campus batch, and how many seats?

Six months, full-time and in person, twenty seats a batch. A story class every morning, lab all afternoon, mock rounds every evening, and a founder in the room every Saturday.

What does the campus batch cost?

The campus fee is shared on your call, along with the start date. The online batch is ₹6,999 or ₹8,999, paid once.

When does the next batch start?

Seats go twenty at a time. When they fill, the next batch starts, and your call gives you that date.

Do I need a CV or an aptitude test?

No CV, no aptitude test. The founders read every application and reply within 3 days.

Which track can I pick?

MERN, Java, MERN + AI or DevOps, the same four tracks as the online batch. Your mentor helps you choose before you pay.

Can I do this while I work?

No, the campus batch is full-time. If you have a job, take the online batch: it runs in the evening, at night or on weekends, and every class is recorded.

Do you guarantee placement?

No honest company can. Mock rounds run every evening and every score goes into your readiness report; after that comes placement support and interviews with our hiring partners.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, a certificate on completion, with a public verification link a recruiter can check in one click.

Twenty seats a batch. When they fill, you wait for the next one.

Not sure where to start? A mentor calls you, free.

Tell us who you are. On the call we help you pick the right batch.
