FAQ

Questions,Answered

Can't find what you're looking for? Talk to our team and we'll help you choose the right track.

How do the live classes work?

Classes run Monday to Friday in the evening, after 6 PM, for 1–2 hours. A working engineer teaches your cohort live in our own classroom platform, so you can ask questions and get answers on the spot.

What if I miss a live session?

Every session is recorded. You can rewatch any recording for 6 months after your cohort ends, and post anything you're unsure about in the doubt space.

Who are the tutors?

Working engineers from across the IT industry — not career trainers. They teach the practices real teams use: clean Git workflows, code reviews, testing, and shipping to production.

How do daily tasks work?

After each class your engineer assigns a hands-on task in the platform. You submit your work, and engineers review and verify submissions every day with feedback you can act on.

Can I pay in EMI?

Yes, EMI is available on every course. Instalment options depend on the course and its length — shorter courses can be split over 3 months, longer ones over up to 9. Final EMI terms and any charges are shown by our payment partner at checkout.

How does the student discount work?

Submit your college or university ID card for verification. Once approved, you get 30% off every live cohort and add-on until your ID card's expiry date — and you can still pay in EMI.

Can I message my tutor directly?

Yes. One-to-one tutor chat is free throughout your cohort and for 6 months after it ends. After that you can keep it with an optional add-on at ₹499/month.

What support do I get after the course?

6 months of doubt support from engineers, resume and portfolio reviews, a completion certificate, and lasting access to the alumni community.

Do I need prior experience?

Not for our beginner-friendly tracks — AI Full-Stack, Data Science, and DevOps start from the fundamentals. Intermediate and advanced tracks list what you should know before joining.

Is the community free to join?

General channels are open to everyone. Course and cohort channels unlock when you enroll, and you keep alumni access after you finish.
