Full-time, 40 hours a week, in a lab in Guindy with 36 desks and four instructors. Pay ₹1,85,000 upfront, or nothing until you are earning ₹4.5 LPA or more.
No recorded lectures, no self-paced modules. You sit in a room with 35 other people who also quit something to be here, and you write code for most of the day.
Ten minutes. What you shipped, what is blocking you.
One concept, live-coded on a projector, never slides.
Rotating pairs. Driver and navigator swap every 25 minutes.
The canteen downstairs does a ₹70 meals.
Project time, instructors on the floor.
Your PR is reviewed by a peer, then an instructor.
The lab stays open till 20:00 if you want it.
People who want a first job in software and can give it four months. Half of each cohort has never written code before pre-work. A third are career changers over 27. You need to read English comfortably; we teach in a mix of Tamil and English.
Three deployed projects with real users, a GitHub history 16 weeks deep, two recorded mock interviews, and introductions to hiring partners once you pass the last gate.
A job. We publish the numbers by cohort below, including the ones that were not great, so you can decide with your eyes open.
TypeScript end to end: React on the front, Node and PostgreSQL behind it, Docker and GitHub Actions to ship it. Read the track left to right. Each phase ends at an amber post, and you do not pass it by attending.
A 90-minute live coding session with an instructor. You build a small feature from a written spec, in the terminal, with tests. Pass and you continue. Fail and you get one retake the following Monday; about one in nine students takes it.
Eight hours, one spec, one student. A working CRUD app with auth-free login, a Postgres database and a deployed URL. Reviewed the same evening by an engineer from a hiring partner.
The client accepts the work, or they don't. Each student also does a 30-minute code walk-through of a part they did not write, so nobody hides inside a team.
A portfolio with three deployed projects, two passed mock interviews and a résumé an engineer has signed off. Only then do we introduce you to hiring partners. It is why our placement numbers hold up.
Pre-work — 30 hours of HTML, CSS and JavaScript — runs for three weeks before day one and is required. Week 16 ends on Friday 1 May 2027; placement support starts the following Monday and has no end date. About one student in nine retakes a gate; two of 36 usually leave at gate 1.
A graduate counts as placed if they accept a software role paying ₹4 LPA or more within 180 days of graduating. Everyone who graduated is in the denominator, including people who stopped looking. Figures are audited each quarter by our CA and published here on the first of the month.
Hatched rows are still inside their window: jan-2026 closes on 28 October 2026 with 30 placed so far, may-2026 graduates on 4 September. Everyone who graduated is in the denominator, including the eleven people who stopped looking.
One block is four offers, tallest column 17 blocks. Fixed component only, before ESOPs or variable pay. Six offers in the ₹10 LPA column are all from the sep-2025 cohort.
Chosen to show the range, not the top. Names are shortened at the graduates’ request; each of them has agreed to take a call from an applicant before you decide anything.

Eight of 34 companies that have hired from the last three cohorts. A partner is a company that has hired at least two graduates and sends an engineer to a gate review or demo day each cohort.
₹1,85,000 now, or nothing until you are earning. Before you choose, look at what the second one actually costs over the two years after you graduate.
Every path ends under the upfront price. The best first offer we have placed, ₹8.4 LPA, finishes ₹6,440 below it after two years; the median graduate finishes ₹49,640 below. If you never earn ₹4,50,000, the line stays flat on the floor and the agreement is cancelled twelve months out.
Four minutes on foot from Guindy metro on the Blue and Green lines, and from the suburban station. The lab has 36 desks with two monitors each, a 1 Gbps line, a quiet room and a roof.
Instructor to student ratio is 1:9 during build time. Every instructor has shipped production software in the last two years and returns to industry between cohorts.
We read every application within three working days. About 40% of applicants get to the call, and about half of those are offered a seat. Seats go in application order once you are accepted.
